I have a Power Products chainsaw from the '50s. That engine looks very similar.

And I thought my Stihl got heavy after a while. The best part is that there is no guard. If you need an engine that size you had better be decked out like an NHL goalie. I can just envision toothpick sized pieces rammed into my shins.

Thanks, Robin Hood, I was trying to think of that name!

Brian806, you made a smart move! That particular one looks older than any I have ever seen. I would clean it up and hang it up somewhere for a conversation piece, if nothing else. As someone said, it likely goes back to the 50s. When I began repairing equipment for Sears in 1965 that WAS the weedeater of the day. Sears sold units made by Hoffco with Tecumseh Power-Products engines. They came with two blades, a saw blade for saplings, etc. and a "tri-cut" three sided blade for weeds. A lot of those things were sold.

Brush king was a popualr 1950-60"s bramd belive engine as power products tecumseh 85 cc. Not worth to much but collectable. Chainsaw collectors grab this stuff.
