Sorry, have to strongly disagree with that one- given I aint nowheres near Florida or the like- not a Palm grove within several thousand miles from here.It probaly cut a plam tree at some point in it's life
Concrete floor? What is it? Husky 61/266/268/272?
That was my guess but why only on that edge? Didn't touch anywhere else? Maybe leaned to that side on some fresh concrete?Concrete floor? What is it? Husky 61/266/268/272?
Makes it look experienced.

It's particularly corrosive to magnesium. If the concrete is dry and it's mainly just the plastic tank/handle touching it's only a minor concern; but if there's also dampness and it's in direct contact with the magnesium parts, it can ruin a saw. Or that's my understanding anyway. I've seen old Homelites and McCullochs that were corroded quite badly from it -- it convinced me to store my saws either off the concrete floor entirely or sitting on scrap piece of plywood.What does concrete do to a saw?

Would have to have been imported from somewhere that has palms growing and someone wanting to cut them with a chainsaw if that were the case. I am a damn sight closer to polar ice caps than tropical equators.Sure looks like palm tree damage to me.
Do you know where the saw came from? I bought a saw online from southern Calif. that had that type of corrosion, lots of old posts on t.he subject. I fixed it with JB Weld and is still my go to saw for most medium size jobs.Would have to have been imported from somewhere that has palms growing and someone wanting to cut them with a chainsaw if that were the case.

And, for the like of Palm sap damage, would not the internals of the chain carrying area of the case- around the oil pump and inside of the clutch cover also be eaten up?

The old magnesium mite crafty little devils usually picked up if cutting near waterways next to power lines..
