I bought a 36 inch Granberg Alaska Chainsaw Mill on Craigslist for $100. (Not really practical or time to take on a new hobby, but I have one particular tree in mind for nostalgia and personal connection reasons.)
It came with a 36 bar and (1) ripping chain, and a parts saw that was 'seized'. I bought it because the picture was a Husqv, so the bar would be a large Husky mount and fit my Dolmar. I expected a 60-75 cc parts saw, or a rebuildable at best.
Turns out the saw was not seized at all, just very tired rings. Bore is excellent, piston is excellent. It is also apparently an early 70's 100 cc : ) If I ever get the tree, I would like to top end the Husky for the mill and not risk overloading the newer saw.
So here is what I have: No tags or serial number found, except Husqv.
No chainbrake. Not sure if points or electronic. Tillotson carb. Has a manual oiler, and probably an auto.
55.7 bore x 40 mm stroke. Two ring piston. I did not measure rings.
On Acre's, I did not find any 55.7 bore, but found several 56 x 40, 99 cc.
I think what I have is a 1973-75 1100 CD, because it did not list a brake. 2100, 2101, and 298 all look similar but show brakes.
1. Is this what I have?
2. Will rings and crank seals interchange between all of them?
3. Any unusual weak points, NLA parts, or things to watch for on this model?
Might be a year or more till I get to it, but now that I have the new toy I am fixated to find out what it is.

struggling with the pics. found a previous post with the process, but the copy shortcut step is missing. but at least the small pics showed up. k
