No it was in a house I showed, made me think of you though. I'm actually going back in the house today. I could leave a note for you about the saw if you want
Down. Less RPM's than direct drive saws but have way more torque & are pretty much unstoppable in the bigger stuff.... McCulloch made several models over the years from 54cc to 103cc.Stopped making them around '75 or so.Homelite made a bunch too in various sizes,stopped in the early '70's. Don't forget the legendary Stihl 090G,106cc,sold in mid-late 60's if I'm not mistaken.Smaller displacement than the more well known regular 090 with 137cc.
I know of a member that has a Stihl 041G . Minty Gear drive Stihl.. Like super minty. Held it in my hands personally. And based on my conversation with him.. I doubt he will be getting rid of it.
Hypothetically speaking, what would a minty specimen of such a Sears gear drive bring? I know a fella with one I'd like to try to buy. I really have no idea if its a $50 novelty or genuinely collectible. He is a tough negotiator, so id like to have a solid value in mind. I'm guessing the numbers produced likely keep the value down, but I'm guessing.
