I always said I'd like to have something with a magneto on it so I could figure how they work. The old IHC LBBR engine lent it's mag to my education this week. Started simple with replacing the plug, that didn't help. Then replaced the condenser, still no good. Then I had to remove the whole mag from the block to get at one screw on the backside. Local NAPA store came through with a new coil for under $50 but we weren't sure it would fit until I actually tried it in the space. The new one was nearly an inch bigger in diameter than the old. I guess they shink with age ? Anyway, after a couple tries to get it in time, it looked to be right in and I put everything back together. It started on about the 5th crank and ran just as smooth or maybe smoother than before.
Here are a couple videos I shot, one while running the cut off saw, the other shows the oilers I put together to oil the cane mill, which will be doing it's thing Saturday morning if nothing else goes wrong ! Still got a bunch of cane heads to cut off today though, it ust never ends...

In this area we call that a "buzz saw". And a "cut off saw", is used to cut steel.
Back in the '40's & '50's Sears must have sold 10's of thousands of those buzz saws.

Only watched the first 15 seconds of the buzz saw video but leaning over like that is a good way to loose an arm or get killed, no one ever trips on purpose, your family will have to live with the accident more than you will.

Firebrick, you watched 15 seconds and posted the type of comment I expected with this type of equipment. The old guy at the beginning was a young boy when these saws came into being and had spent many a day cutting with one. He was only tinkering around until I got the camera set up. As for me, I have no choice but to lean over because the saw is dinky next to me.

A saw like that does look dangerous, but any saw can do damage to an untrained user, or a trained user that gets careless. A coworker got 8 stitches two weeks ago brushing his fingers through a table saw. Luckily the saw blade was only sticking out a 1/4", or he might have lost them. Neat video, I always thought that those saws looked really dangerous, but after watching the video, it's no more dangerous then someone using a chainsaw, only thing is you might lose an arm on that thing vs. a foot or leg with a chainsaw. Thanks for posting.
