What engine is on this old thing?

Thats cool but I don't think this really needs anything, my main thing was seeing if I could get a P/C for Les's DB with the 47 engine on it.

I have this saw if it will help you guys out...

THe 58 engine will probably bolt right into the DB he has. Why not swap the whole thing?

I just don't know and I wondered the same thing. I would think the end of the crank maybe different going from a direct drive saw to a gear drive maybe??

Sean if that has a AH-47 with a good P/C then yes it could help! Better to save a nice gear drive then that you think?

Thanks Cliff, I figured something would throw a monkey wrench in it but didn't expect that LOL

Now that you mention it I can see from the way the recoil on the gear drive saw pulls that you are right. Never noticed that before.
