Members of the forum, As a new member I am interested in opinions on a chainsaw that I have inherited from my late grandfather. It is my understanding that the chainsaw is one of the first single manned chainsaws introduced into Australia. I have attached pictures of the chainsaw and the original manuals that are in German (I believe) as well as the translated one in English.
I am looking to have the chainsaw cleaned up and restored cosmetically (and mechanically if possible) and am looking for advice on how to do this, or where I can take the chainsaw in order for this to occur. I am located on the North Coast of NSW. I must make it clear that I have no intention of selling the chainsaw, however if someone can inform me as to it's possible financial worth that would be greatly appreciated?
there is a guy here in north Brisbane who specializes in restoring any old machinery. he often puts advertisements on gumtree so keep looking out for his adds. that's as much as i can help . its a very nice looking piece of gear though.i wish you luck with it.
If my collection is complete ( then how come i keep buying stuff ? ) 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Is that a motor cycle style twist throttle sticking out the back? If it is I imagine it would have taken some getting used to, trying to maintain revs and control of the saw at the same time.
