If theres no circuit board which there isnt im sure 50hz or 60hz it doesnt matter. 60hz would produce more rpms tho. We test 50hz 3 phase motors at work on 60hz all the time.
Interesting thread.
That saw is slightly different than mine as it's
220/440 and 60hz. It may have more power
than mine. Not sure as i'm no electrical expert.

Lee, electric saws were used a lot back in the 40's 50's and 60's. I got a taste of them in the early 70's behind a D2 cat and run off a generator. 40" bars, 1/2" chain and weighed 80lbs. You could see the teeth turn slowly on the bar, but you could dog it in, put your feet on the tree and pull as hard as you could. Tons of torque! Don't know who made the saw, but I'm sure they were USA made. Flat ground, big pine, was the perfect thing for the electric saws.
Thanks Guys,
I hope to someday be able to run it
but for now it's a great show piece.

Do you have any pictures of running the electric chainsaws behind a D2, very interesting to me. We have 3 old D2s and I would like to see the generator set up.
2700 W - that puts it a bit above an MS260 power wise (they're peak 2600). Bet it makes more torque though
No I don't. The company I worked for, Collins Pine Co. has a museum and I made a visit there this summer. I didn't see any pictures of the saw cats, but I will ask next trip to the museum. I do know they auctioned the Cats off when they shut the company logging operation down about 1990, but who bought them, I don't know. I'll check into that too.
