Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[happysaws]

First of all, good luck finding an Oregon rim drive setup for one.[emoji849]

Secondly stick with a .404" x 7.

Third, .404" x .058" gauge is nearly extinct.

I am planning on getting a "blank" from 6Kproducts, then having a friend mill a 1/2" square hole in it.

Why do you think I should stick with a 7 pin instead of an 8 or 9 pin?

I have 100+ feet of brand new .404" x .058" chisel chain.... so no problems there.

Oh, wait, a gear drive.

Planetary or gear reduction?

Planetary:

About 1.5:1 reduction.

Gear reduction, manual says 2.36:1 reduction.

Today I picked up a John Deere chainsaw. I know it is a rebadged Remington. Anyone have an idea as to what model? I plan to rebuild the carburetor and clean everything and probably re-paint.
Thanks

It looks clean under the filter cover.

I wish the roller nose bar wasn't so rusted up.

And please excuse the parking lot pictures. I work on my saws when I go home on weekends.

Looks like a model 12 to me which would be a Remington model 9

That is a John Deere 15, aka rebadged SL-10. The oil tank fill gives it away. Pretty sure it's 51cc

Looking at pictures online. It looks like it is. Thanks. I am pretty excited about it. It looks to be in great condition under all the dirt. There is a small break in the clutch cover on the top by the muffler. I'll probably not replace the clutch cover as it's not too noticeable. Someone does have a NOS one on eBay so I'm kinda torn on whether I'll replace it or not. I guess I should worry about getting it running first.

That's how I want mine to look. Where did you get the rubber grip on the wrap handle? I'm assuming you replaced it.
By the way, nice work on the restoration! It looks new.

Check at Depotparts.com, they have old Remington/Deere saw parts. Be aware, this is like a LAST RESORT, they are insanely expensive, and you have to purchase through a Deere dealer.

They may have one or two rubber handle grips left...

I once ordered 4 little o-rings that go on the screw of the auto oiler adjuster... They're sooo small they look like fly crap. Paid $54 plus $12 shipping for four pieces of fly crap that didn't weigh more than .02 ounces. But they work.
(Yes I tried McMasterCarr and about everywhere else first. Had to buy from Depotparts, nobody else had anything even remotely close.)

IF I remember right only the SL-9 was without the rubber grip.

I'll check my junk pile for one.

Yikes! That's really expensive. Thanks for the info. Maybe my oiler will still work.

Thanks! If you don't have one then I may try to make one from something.

You are correct. [emoji108]

I'll check if the PO has an envelope it will fit in.

 

[brandonstc6]

Awesome, thanks.
Pm me with a price once you see about an envelope please.

BTW: The running deer sticker is about eight bucks at your local Deere dealer.

The '15' was made out of bumper sticker stock at a local sign company.

Thanks for the information. Both of them look good. I'll look into both of them.
