At a farm today and he pulled this state of the art machine out.

And the farmer wood like to know a bit more about it?

:confused1:I thinks it is a chainsaw

It was state of the art at the time !!! just think yourself lucky you were born when you were and have not had to use one of these ..... most probably the same will happen in another few generations when some one unearths an "old " ms 880 ..or ms 200 with a "petrol engine" haw haw ......

Solo made some pretty good saws I believe .

Nice german made Solo.

 

At first glance it looks like a 635, which was about 90cc, relatively slow revving by modern standards, 5-6HP range. The "chain brake" is interesting! I might be way off, but I used one (635) 25 years ago in Zimbabwe and it looks familiar, it was "oldish" then (early 90s) so probably of 1970's vintage.

 

I've a vague recollection that the orange/white version was a Super 635 and had it's own model number (642?). There would have been an ally serial & model number plate riveted just below the fuel cap, might still be there hiding under the accumulated sludge?

 

 

Hopefully a collector will be able to correct my errors/give you some informed opinion!

Did some Googling and found a chainsaw collectors forum with some nice info and photos of various Solo 635's.

 

Here's a couple of links:

-big solo question - Chainsaw Collectors.se"]Link 2
