The Penfield line of equipment was made by The Burns Tool Manufacturing Co. in Louisville, Ga. That is about 35 miles to the east of me. They made mowers, rotary tillers, chain saws and maybe a few more pieces of outdoor equipment that I can't recall right off hand. They went out of business in the late 50's I think. Been a long time. The Tillers used Clinton engines and the saws used West Bend engines. They made a decent product but had a very poor sales and marketing section. When i was in the saw business,I worked on a lot of the saws in the course of a few years. They made both gear drive and direct drive saws. Their biggest problem was they used fiber gears in the saw transmission of the gear drives and after about a year of use it would strip out. There was a guy around here that used to bring his Burns tiller to me on into the early 70's before he finally wore it completely out. It was almost impossible to get parts that were made by the company, engine parts were just run of the mill stuff though. The products never sold very well even though they were slightly cheaper than the more popular brands. There was almost no dealer support most of the time. Probably no information to be found either.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
