old shingu saw

[R Mac]

Can you remove the oil pump to see what kind of seal is used? it may be a regular 'O' ring. I wouldn't be put off by your 'local lawnmower man' saying you won't get spares, in my experience that's a stock response from people who've just seen something they've never seen before.

 

Chances are it's repairable one way or another.

Here's another version of the shingu :

Just found a old shingu bell strimmer at back of the shed seem company is still selling new stuff in japan..not sure if its all rebaged stuff now or they actually make things?

 

Shingu company has its own forest estate.

 

Why does that chainsaw have such a weird design?

 

Japan seems a weird place for chainsaws in that that they still are selling some retro models without chainbreaks there?
