Way-cool pawnshop find

Lookit what I just got for fifty bones!











It's all original (I think) and runs strong and starts easy. Also LOUD. Can't wait to get it into wood. More later.

Also: the receipt said "THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNING THIS ITEM". I mean, really.

CAD much?

That is WAY cool. Roller tip bar and all!

You know there was a time when Remington gave Mac, Homelite and Poulan a run for their money.
They made some REALLY nice saws for their era.
The little Mighty Mite was "the cats meow" when they came out, and almost made Remington a contender.

Nice find. That is a very sleek looking saw. How man cc's?

Loud is an understatement, especially since it's only 82cc. I got one that had a Carter carb and the diaphragms were like rocks. I found the appropriate Tillotson donor carb and it runs like a champ. Nice find there!

Roller tip is in very nice condition. I'm gonna sharpen the chain and see what it does in nice seasoned fir. I have a feeling this thing will eat dry wood like a hungry termite.

Great looking saw and for the price of a loop of chain ! Looking forward to hearing how you get on with it , any idea of it's year ?

Very Cool. You dont see them every day.

Great find, And worth every bone.
Do a video of that bad saw.

Shazam that is very very nice! A video of the saw running maybe?

Now I normally bleed yellow and black, but that one made me drool...

Really nice find. Keep it locked up or Crane will come looking.

Get out your earplugs. I have a Super 770. Probably the loudest saw in my collection, and I have some noisy ones. A real hoot to run, but your biceps will be burning about the same time your knuckes are white. Then you can go in and "pretend" not to hear the Mrs. for the rest of the evening....

Great find!!!!

Nice,,,nice saw for what you paid for.....You got that saw for a weeks worth of smokes,,and would I give up smokin for a week for a saw that nice,,,you damn right!!!!!

Had it running yesterday. Today it was puking unburnt gas through the unmuffled exhaust. Took a look at that oddball diaphragm on the top of the carb, cut a new one, and it started up, loud as ever, as soon as I'd blown all the gas out from before.

Still haven't got it in wood. Video to come.

Sweet!!!

I saw a hi and lo speed switch. Is that a gear drive saw with two gear ratios?

Not a switch, just an opening for adjusting the carb.

wow that's really cool!
82cc's for 50 bucks cant be beat for any running saw really.
this one just looks cool too.
what year is this classic beast?
