Strange chainsaw?

[RadarTech]

Well we are exploring a property we have purchased and are finding lots of really old and unique items…

This particular saw body is one of them.. today I was in a hurry and just grabbed this picture… but zoomed in it is some kind of chainsaw …
I’m told bow saw, brush chain saw.. but I’m not sure… I’ve googled a lot of stuff, but this has not appeared…

What do y’all think?

Yep. It's called a bow bar. Many iterations.

Google 'bow bar chainsaw' and you'll see.

Neat find.

Looks like the business end of a thingamadoo.

Sorry that’s not correct, it’s one of those things that’s goes in that one implement that does that farming stuff.

I hate to see that, just ruins them by weathering and corrision. The woods behind my place at least 600 yds back is full of 50's 60's 70's discarded stuff. Some car wheels etc that is really worth good money etc along with agricultural stuff.
But that is the way it was on the farms back then.

I did enjoy going through and checking things out. But left everything as not on my place.

Thanks for the clarification.

Bow bars are used for on ground bucking of saw logs, had one years ago, think I gave it away, PITA to use and takes a big sized powerhead to run it.

Inherited one of these from my Grandfather. Got it to run, but never had the guts to use it. Quit watching at 6:04. The rest is just silly stuff.

So— today we met a man that USED TO RUN this exact saw… and strangely he still has the motor for it…
It is a McCulloch 2 man saw….
