Hi Remington Fans
I have a couple 990’s that need to come apart. I have an IPL But am stumped at the clutch. The nut that holds it on? is RHT I don’t see a key way on the IPL or key listed.
So has anyone taken one off recently and remember if it is threaded and which direction ?
I tried both directions and a puller . So before I start seriously exerting force I want to know for sure which way it needs to be exerted.
Thanks

My 990 is left hand thread. I locked the flywheel through the bottom access hole, 2 pin punches in the clutch and small bar turning the punches. Alternatively, Carl has clamped those 2 punches in a vise and turned the whole saw. Or, get a proper pin spanner to fit.
Every Bantam style clutch I've had off is threaded. Another method is to spin the clutch off with a hammer and punch. Not generally recommended.
One is locked on its own.
Hoping to salvage the piston from it once its free. I figured I would get the clutch loose on it,it had resisted so far. Now I know which direction I can get serious

Those clutches like to fight ! I bought a cheap spanner from Amazon and it worked well.
The vice trick worked. Of course the outside holes have been pounded on. I used a couple 3/8 master craft allen bits that fit the inside holes in the vice and presto.
Two different rear handles on these saws
At least the clutch looks good. Should be a box of parts soon

Not that they grow on trees, but I used a Pro 88 piston in my 990. One of piston ring pins was gone and I was unable to come up with a repair. The Pro 88 is the same bore and stroke, rod and all fit. The piston has 2 ports in the skirt that match Pro 88 cylinder ports. They do nothing on the 990.
Not a factory bar,although I do have one.I'm going to try using a D196Even though Acres says it can also use a D096 I've found that it doesn't work so well.

Hello, been a while since I've posted on here. I am looking for the part number for a Remington Super 880G piston, or an IPL for the 880G. Thanks!
For an IPL you'll need to go to the Beg For Manuals thread.One of the fellas there will help you out.
I salvaged a piston for my 990. Ring locator pin had come out. A bit of 1/16” drill rod and held in place with a #4-40 screw.
What I really need is a serviceable cylinder as this one has the plate peeling around the exhaust port.

,piston extracted no additional damage done.
Now a box of parts,next step get the rings loose and clean the piston and cyl up and see what there is to work with.

My piston extraction tools
First was a fitting made from a spark plug and a grease gun i used diesel to preasure up the cylinder till it moved the first 1/8th inch and the top ring cleared the exhaust port and wouldn't hold diesel.I went with diesel figuring any that made it past the rings would help lubricate the extraction. I had also used wax on the bottom of the piston.
Then i found a plastic handled chissle that fit the con rod when the rod bolts were tighteened. Used a couple ujoint caps with bolts through a plate with drilled holes.
then just kept it warm and tightened bolts till it would pop about 1/8"at a time Had to add blocks to get it all the way out.

I have one of those but it's the Pro 88g and too nice to part out.
Nice job ,crafty!

Got my NOS 24" Remington bar mounted up to the super 754 last night, also finally found a use for the loop of Remington planer chain that I had laying around.
I'll have to get some better photos outside another time.

Those 754s are a nice ass-kicking saw! I've got a 30 in.bar on mine with a .404 chain & it hauls it along like nothing.
Looking for a definitive seal match for a John Deere Model 17 / PL4 -- #65194. Same size for both sides and I presume the same size as one or the other from an SXL. I've read there's an SKF that works but don't have a number. Also curious about a definitive aftermarket piston replacement that'll fit w/o issues. I'm seeing reference to aftermarket SXL piston kits as a drop-in fit, but there were originally two sizes. Pretty sure this application calls for the 1 13/16" / 1.8125mm version according to the measurements I've come up with. Carl kindly offered up an OEM 64302 piston and pin when I started this project back in May that I believe was 1.8125 also, but I'd need to source rings and clips so may as well go with an aftermarket kit (unless I could find an OEM Homelite) so he can save his for something else down the road. Just wanting to be certain that I cross the right OEM dimension to the correct AM (or Homelite) piston and the right seals.
TIA for any assistance / enlightenment.
