Found a 70's craftsmen (Roper) ??? saw

[mikeyny]

Seems to run fine, 17 inch blade ?, self sharpening set up. dual oilers. one pump and one auto?? Cant find a manual anywhere yet. Real heavy for a small saw. Anyone got any info on these old craftsmen. I think it is a roper but not really sure yet.

Need more info. Stampings, model number, etc?

917.353750. 3.7 ci. Thats 60 cc's I think? Solid state ignition is on the top cover. ser. # 09143. The fuel cap says to mix gas with straight 30 wt oil. Should I just use the usual mix I do on all my other saws?

Wow, dunno that saw. Sounds really old, lol.

Use your regular mix. It will be fine.

Does it look like this? The auto sharpening thing made me think of this...
