there is some pictures of it in the main postLooks like a Lombard to me. Are you sure on the 69cc? Would like to see a PTO side including cylinder cooling fins and muffler arrangement. I'm thinking possibly 50 or 51.
I often wonder whos came up with this design originally. As the Homelite XL, and Remington PL,SL, 55-65cc series all shared the same design. Either way it was a cool find and powerful saw.
it looks lot like the blue one, i put some pictures of it in the main post. thanks for the helpDoes appear to be a Lombard based model, likely AP/AL 42 or Comango, both 69cc. There was also one in this chassis at 80+cc, model escapes me but possibly Lightening something or other. Then also a model with a/v.
From evidence I've come across, the XL12 was the first of this design but the competition was very close to follow, which muddied the history a bit.
