Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[happysaws]

It snowed here today so I guess its winter. Had plenty of shop time so I got a couple customers taken care of . I also had time to break down the Pro 88 . It must have not been used much before it was discarded for something newer. The P/C look great so did the carb . I am glad I took it all the way down because 1 crank bearing was rusted and a crankcase oring had turned to goo. Looks like parts are available.View attachment 612205

Are you planning on painting it as long as you have it disassembled?

 

[2stroke_shaman]

No , I dont paint any of the saws just mechanics and decals if I can find them . I emailed SC Supply assume thats where you got them .

International off white is a good match for the original ‘oak white’ Remington.

Available in rattle can as ‘tractor & implement’ at your local hardware store.

Takes months to dry hard enuff to resist gasoline. [emoji90]

I dont paint saws because if they shine they sit . Made to be run ....

I've restored several and you're right, I can never find it in myself to use them after a full restoration....

Old turds are just toys to play with so just paint them.

That looks good . John deere stuff is plentiful here . Im only 20 miles from the original John Deere shop in Grand Detour Illinois . Interesting tour on a sunday .

Be careful the wife doesn't hear you say that Carl.

Still waiting on o rings so I took a minute to cut some gaskets for the pro 88 . I like the cork neophrene for intake . Or a cereal box if you need it now !

After a little trouble with a bad crimp at the points/coil wire ( spark / no spark ) I'm ready to make some 105 cc music with the Pro 88 tomorrow . A couple drops of solder and it's all good . Here is a little info .
Seals/bearings
Points side SKF/CR 7438 6203 C3 / NSK 6203UC3E
Clutch side SKF/CR 9903 I didn't need a bearing but it's a brass caged needle bearing measured 1.250 O.D. X .750 I.D. X .650 thick .There is lots of room for thicker/thinner bearing .
Carb kit Amazon Tillotson RK88HL.
Champion J8 plug.
I am converting this saw to .404 I'll post info after the parts come.

What are you using for a sprocket drum to get .404”?

 

[2stroke_shaman]

Still on the .404. I think a little trimming on both and silver solder will fix this . What else is out there? I can always fit another rim .

 

[2stroke_shaman]

The steel is very hard but got it cut.

Looks good!
Let us know how it works

 

[67L36Driver]

What did you use to turn that with?

 

[2stroke_shaman]

Just a regular lathe . The important part is dont cut any original seal surface .The crank seals off the clutch drum and a crude lab seal .
