Interesting find (Solo Multimot)

[Rudolf73]

It was advertised in Popular Mechanics magazine in August 1987, so has to be at least that old. I seem to recall seeing it somewhere a couple of years earlier??? :msp_unsure:

Bugger.....I knew i should have driven home faster from work that day, i was planning on buying it myself. http://www.arboristsite.com/images/smilies/censored.gif

Yeah I saw that article in PM so it must be around 25 years old.

Nice find Rudolf, although I'm still not convinced it's not a kids toy chainsaw, was it from ebay or Toys "R" Us :hmm3grin2orange:

No, it's a serious chainsaw Gmax, especially with a huge 10" bar, gear reduction and auto oiler

I also own a Solo multimot attached to a water pump. This engine is a very difficult starter. I think that's the reason why it never has been very popular.

Haha nice find, but luckily mine is still sitting on the shelf looking pretty. Doubt it will ever see much work.

Another one sold with i believe the full range of attachments on gumtree only a week or so ago, just before Christmas. Looked well used but the fella said it all worked with zero issues. Nice to see a few of these still kicking around. Was a interesting and well designed bit or gear or its day.

Oh yeah happy new year to all. Enjoy it .... i know i will be i'm off the clock for another week or so. Just hope that the phone don't ring and it's a job!!

I have recently acquired one of these solo multimots. Took a lot of research to find out what it was, nothing else for sale here in England, one hedgecutter attachment for sale in USA and a few spare parts for sale in Germany. Any idea what kinda price I should be looking for it? I got the engine with very little use. The leaf blower, chainsaw. Lawnmower and strimmer never been assembled and still in box. I have been looking to try and find the whole set before selling it on. But not found one yet

Thats a nice find for sure. Putting a price on it though would be rather difficult. But I'm sure it's worth good money to the right collector.
