🌲Full Restoration 1960's STIHL Contra Chainsaw

[@Classic.Rescue]

The Complete Restoration in One Video! 🤩 The Chain Blade is way longer than the original, but she will mostly serve as decoration and in my opinion this fits this massive Saw. 😊 With some details I had to get a bit creative, but everything is reversible if I make another decision in the Future. I had a hard time finding a cylinder and piston, but I could get a good used one. 😍 Btw, the repro parts work, but are not that great. 😅 I will probably change the Starter to a good original one when I find one. 😁

Got my eye on an old Contra ,would I be right in thinking alot of parts from 1106/070/090 fit.

[@Classic.Rescue]

From what I saw, yes, but I'm not 100 percent certain.😊

Hi. Which kind of painting (adhesion agent for aluminum plus colour) you used for it?

[@Classic.Rescue]

Hey! 😊 An Epoxy-Primer was recommended to me for the Aluminum. The paint only consists of a base coat and a two-component Clear Coat. For convenience, everything was canned.😁

You're supposed to run it full throttle before you start into a piece of wood

[@Classic.Rescue]

Yes that's true! ^^
