34/12/8 Fairbanks-Morse Chain Saw Q. I recently made inquiry to Fairbanks-Morse regarding an engine they manufactured a number of years ago. They were unable to answer my questions.

The engine is in a chain saw, s/n AH47, engine no. 2064605. The saw has a 10' inch x 4? inch high blade. Any help would be appreciated. Bill Cornish, 18821 N 17th Ave., Phoenix, AZ 85027.

A. Right after World War Two, Fairbanks-Morse made a major attempt to get into appliances and small tools, such as lawn mowers, chain saws, and various other items. Most of these items were not built by Fairbanks-Morse, but were built by outside vendors to F-M specs and with the F-M name cast on them. When we researched at Fairbanks-Morse in 1992, most of this information was already gone, regarding who manufactured what, and when it was built. Apparently there had been a major purge of obsolete information at some point, and this sort of information went to the nearest available dumpster. Is there anyone out there familiar with the Fairbanks-Morse chain saw, and can identify the original manufacturer?
