I always love doing chainsaw restorations. This chainsaw (Model C. E) was made by the Strunk Manufacturing Co. in the 1960s. The chainsaw happens to be electric and has a massive 26 amp motor, which puts the saw at around 4HP. That is a LOT of power for an electric chainsaw. Strunk also made versions of these for the U.S. Army in the 1960s. I have not been able to find a photo of this saw anywhere on the internet.

This saw was very dirty, especially inside the motor, which is probably the reason why it did not run. I couldn't sandblast the paint off as it contained lead. I decided to go a little bit further with this restoration and add a polished handle and bucking spikes.

The chainsaw bar oil can was the most damaged and needed a lot of work to get back to original condition. The clutch being present on this saw probably signifies a small production run. The patent for the chainsaw chain is here: https://patents.google.com/patent/US2...
This was the first of the modern chainsaw tooth designs.

In this video I check that the electrical motor is functioning correctly and put the saw back together to get it running.
