I remember those. Do remember those saws used for felling trees that were similar to a lawnmower but had a nasty three foot circular blade on the front of them. I think some called them "widow-makers" but I can't remember its proper name. Pretty sure both of these pieces of equipment were pre-OSHA. :lol:

Along with the manual reel mower, remember the manual lawn sheers you used for edging grass? Ruthless on the hands.
