Hi guys, I'm not sure if I will repaint it or leave it ,Darryl it has a reduction gearbox before the 1960's most chainsaws were gear drive. They had larger chains but they turned slower, It will only
rev about 2000 RPM ,modern chainsaws rev about 10000 RPM, but use smaller chains.
Slow and steady back in the old days and damn heavy smirk

cheers2 gmax
