cheers gmax

gmax nice looking chainsaw you have and runs nice to. Will you be respraying it?

Hi Wayne, Never seen a gear-driven chainsaw, how does it work? What a little ripper it is....
Are you going to restore it?

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
