Rollernose bar

Looks yummy, if I wasn't full up on 75A's I'd take you up on it.

Chain looks good, is it .404" or 7/16"? .404 is much easier to live with. Finding a usable air filter is the hard part. Carb kits are available from Sugar Creek Supply near Kansas City.

Hey driver, did you find my clarification regarding the rollernose bar issue? Didn't quite understand what you were describing at first. My bad.

I will investigate it further when I rebuild 75A #1. Don't need a new roller, it just looked like something we should have on hand.

I'm going round and round with a Homie XL-101 at present. Once I get it cleared away we will get to one or both of the Remingtons.
 
Looking pretty good Bow Saw! Thanks for the updates, nice photos!

Thanks buzz.:smile2:

Looks grrrrrreeeeaaat Mr. Bowsaw! How do you clean your parts? They look brand new. I use mild degreaser along with heavy elbow grease and brass brushes....but I can't say that mine look near as nice as yours. What's your secret?

Thanks.
I clean the parts like you do with degreaser first.
Then most of the parts I take them to the wire wheel on the bench grinder.
This bench grinder with the wire wheel is on a stand so I get large parts to it.
When I am done there if there is any paint left in the corners I will use some
paint remover and small brass brushes. Fine sand paper too when needed.
 
I got more done on the power head but no pics ready yet.

Here is what will be going on this saw.
I bought this Bow bar from Igpoe, Dean.
It was real dirty and rusty.

When I looked at the gear box closer I notice that the sprocket was 3/4 pitch
and the chain is 9/16 pitch. So I had to find another 9/16 sprocket.

attachment.php


Well I got it taken apart and it was not easy. It took a lot of time to get the
tubing out of the gear box. Lots of lubricant,twisting and tapping with a block
of wood and a small sledge hammer. Tubing came out of the other end a lot
easier.

attachment.php
 
Its all ready to go back together. I made sure the tubing was going back
in a lot easier. I sanded the ruff spots off the tubing and honed the inside of
gear box and the helper handle end.

attachment.php


The chain tensioner was in pretty good shape,just needed cleaning and lubed
and a new spring. I cleaned up the treads with a tap and die.

attachment.php


Painted the mall on there. Had to have a steady hand for that.

attachment.php


The tube sled in this end with just a little effort. I did not find a sprocket for sale,
so I had to take it off of another trans I had.

attachment.php


Its done and ready. I have a new 9/16 chain coming for it.
I will have to feed it through be for hooking it together.

MBS, nice restoration (as usual!) :msp_thumbup:.


I'll try to get some images of my SL-11A posted this weekend. At some time an Atom II was "installed" left floating, not attached.
 
Remington Beast

Wait until you guys see what was in my great grandma's garage...:hmm3grin2orange:
 
Sorry guys I couldn't help it :smile:

But when my BIL found it he said he knew who needed it!
 
Cool! I always wanted to know what my 12a was supposed to look like. Where do you get those decals?

That looks a little silly with that "2nd man" handle on the end of that short bar. I presume you never found a full length bar for that saw ?

I'm just a weak old geezer but I'd want someone on the other end for felling a tree. Hold up all that weight and feed it into a tree.
 
I got more done on the Mall 10.
The crank case painted and now dry enough to put together

The bearings and seals went on a lot easier then they came out.

I thought I might have to press the other half of the case
on but it went right on. I had to help seal with small screw driver
get past the sharp edge on the crank.

The hardest part of this saw for me is getting the little
roller bearings on the rod and then on the crank.
Its has two rows.

attachment.php



After some time and knocking the rows out line a few times
I got it in. Had to use my magnifying glasses to see what I was
doing.

attachment.php



The cylinder goes on easy, it is tapered at the bottom
so it collapses the rings has I push it on.

attachment.php



Got the flywheel cleaned and painted , good thing about some
of the Malls is they have a built in puller. As you loosen the
nut it pulls flywheel up off the tapper on the crank.

attachment.php


The starter is done too.

Way cool!

The needle bearings are the worst part for old geezers with poor eyesight and the coffee shakes.

The Rem. 75A has the same setup on the flywheel nut. I think maybe all the 'Bantam' types are that way.
