Stihl stationary engine

[The Engineer]

hi folks i thought you might like to see what has found a new shed cant wait to get it home

[Leonard Keifer]

Any idea what one of those might have been used on or for?

[The Engineer]

i dont know for sure but i know some thing similar was used on a two man chainsaw i will take it to the stihl shop and see if they have any info on it and will post what if any thing i find

[Leonard Keifer]

Unless there's an older man at the Stihl shop, my guess is that no one there will have ever heard of your engine! Unless you happen to run into a fellow collector.

Your pics are very small but it is either a KS43 or a BDKH both which started production around 1938 and were two-man saws.

Interesting reading I didn,t realize Stihl had made a 2 man saw
