Looks almost like my Mac trimmer, my brother has a motor like that in his R/C speed boat.

I doubt you will find one, plus getting a chain will be hard to come by.

I think it was but not sure, just know it was not like a regular chain cause only the top of the cutter was sharpened by the stone.

Yes. They are where the current version of the Oregon powersharp came from. I have a blue Craftsman 2.3 ( Poulan S25CVA in blue paint) with the powersharp set up. I don't think it cuts that great. It's more of novelty thing thing for me. Those older 1/4" chains are getting hard to find unless they are on a saw.

I remember they had that setup still in the early 80's, then they stopped producing it.

This pic is just after I cleaned it up and got running. Still looks the same.

I'm so digging that metallic light blue that Sears used off and on for years!

It looks like there is a car paint color that is similar called Portifino Blue.

Pretty awesome on a Cobra!

Think I know why I like that blue.

Original color on my ole 69 looks dang close.

Crapsman sure had some good looking saws back in the day.

And they weren't overly complicated either, simple design and easy to work on.
