Power brake booster is a nice option.
Could I see your front shock mounts please? Don't remember my 62 K10 shocks being that way.

I was a lead tree climber doing hazard removal for around 10 years. Did a lot of crane work also. I still do some side work when the money is right and the works not to hard. I've never restored any saws, but probably have 10,000 hours running them. I figure I'll get around to them one day. I may have some questions when I get to them for you.

Re: 61K10 build

1963c-10--never was a tree climber, but was a pole climber for 30yrs. the EZ saw is the same as the one my Dad had back in 57. remember cutting wood with it in the 60's.
