KIEKHAEFER KB7AY-11HP-1946 ..Elmer Carl Kiekhaefer, owner of the Mercury marine corp, involved in Nascar racing, snowmobile, sportsman outboard motors and more..... A man of determination...failure was not an option, an engineer of over 200 patents still used today.
Saw under restauration....Thanks to a donation from Al, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Personal testimony: I inherited an old Kiekhaefer chainsaw from one of my cousins. It belonged to my father originally and was last used sometime in the ‘70s it then sat at his son’s cottage until after various cleaning efforts it has ended up with me. All the parts and pieces are there with the engine.The chain is still oiled as are rest of the pieces. If you can use it I would like someone to have it that could put it to use.............
