Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[ML12]

Having tried something similar once, except I wanted to save the spur and use it on a gear drive, I know that the steel is very very hard. I had carbide tooling and it wasn't happy, but my lathe is also quite small so I think that didn't help. I would be curious to know exactly what tooling and feed/speed you were using.

I would expect a tool post grinder would be necessary.[emoji15]

A tool post grinder would have been ideal for this cut but I dont have one. I made a plug for the drum to clamp it tight . The spur was slow to cut with the teeth . To big of cut and it would grab it or chip the carbide. I used the same cutter for both jobs just flipped it 1/4 turn for I.D / O.D . The cut was .003/.005 each , speed was 430 and feed was by hand. I also sharpened cutter every .030.

Success! Here is the pro 88 wearing her new bling. All items are available off the shelf. The only mods to any of it was the clutch drum 7/16 to .404 and a little belt sander milling of the chain tensioner . Here is the info .
Bar 30" hard nose Carlton #30-50-.063 Bought from Little Red Barn for a Homelite C 52 .
Chain Husqvarna # H64S-096G . 96 drive loop micro chisel .404/.063. Ebay on the cheap.

Shes not light at almost 34#. Seems to pull well with a .404-7 drive .

This bar mount Is a great alternative for the big remingtons. I decided to copy and duplicate .Oil hole right .







I will have to shorten chain , will give full use of chain . I ground a little at the arrow for oil.

A little more info on the Pro 88 .404 conversion. The chain I chose for the 30" hardnose was Husky/ Oregon Husky #H64S 096G. 96 link .404/063 skiptooth. I need a couple links shorter so I called Oregon and got Eric. Here are the part#'s for the presets and ties. Presets Oregon# P23868 tiebar #P23825. Current production .

If you can't find a NOS one get one close that's a little larger and clamp it in a vice and file it down. flip it and file the side that was in the vice. They are generally pretty soft.
Make it a little bigger than the keyway in the crank so it stays put. That will save you from looking for it next time you remove the flywheel.

Having said that, the key just locates the flywheel on the crankshaft. If you mark it and line it up properly you don't need it. Just make sure there is no oil at all on the mating surfaces. Putting oil on there is generally what makes the keys shear.

thanks Tim. my "mechanic" buddy said about the same thing with filing one down. i was just hoping some of the guru's here had a size for it or had found them somewhere.

PL5 going by the fuel cap but it has the compression release of an SL11.

Wards branded Remingtons are difficult to pin down.

Cool! Save a lot of drive link counting.

I did make four loop measuring ‘sticks’

1x3 with a 1/2” dowel . Two sided.

Also has 1/2" and 9/16" chain measurements on the back side of the tape.

 

[67L36Driver]

Put a 31” on the gear drive.

The 24” that was on him seemed a little short. [emoji848]
