Older type that shape. Who made that? Is it a Partner, or a Husky/Poulan type? Any good, if in decent condition?

I checked that out but it seems to be a heavier saw altogether. 65cc and about 13 lb in weight. That one looks a proper Partner while the one in my OP is a lighter saw....perhaps 42cc?

There have been two very different P420 saws, the smaller (and newer) one is a Poulan made "homeowner" saw with a plastic case, the old one is a true Partner made 65cc pro saw from the 1970s.

The picture in that link is misleading, and is showing a later semi-pro saw - but the other info is good.

i always thought that partner was either based on or part of mcculloch. The first picture looks very similar to a home owner mac. I'm sure years ago machine mart used to sell both macs and partners, and they were near identicle to look at.

Years ago MM used to sell Dynamac saws, that's where I got mine. They were grey and yellow and made by Efco in Italy I believe. They probably sold all makes of home owner saws at some point and they do sell McCulloch now.

That likely is because both the Partner and the Mac are made by Poulan.

 

Husky own all those brands, and many more.

One of the many factories that Husky owns is the old European McCulloch factory in Italy - so I suspect that is where that Mac is made?

 

That factory has made homeowner class saws for several of the Husky (earlier Electrolux) owned brands.
