It's not a chainsaw but a repair .I have two Ferguson TO -20 tractors with two extra starters I keep in good working order .I ordered an aftermarket unit this summer which must have been made in some third world country by children because the sons-a-bees don't know how to solder .I do .Damned windings came loose on the commutator .Not a big deal if you know how to solder with a torch .A little tedious ,turbo torch,acid flux and 50/50 solder .Got-er-done ,good to go .Took an hour .Good heavens I've lost track of how many starters I've repaired over the years on this old stuff .That's the price you pay owning antiques --on the other hand if it were easy anybody could do it .
