Old vintage saws everywhere I looked

[gumneck]

This would work just fine I suppose...you got me leaning to the 20" bar now. Plus this one gets here Wed, the other Oregon 20" on ebay is 22 days.

 

[gumneck]

Is the ebay Oregon better for some reason If you know?

 

[Brufab]

Not that I'm aware of it's just an older looking bar. Probly @Maintenance supervisor would know the manufacturing range. I'm guessing 80's to early 90's.

 

[gumneck]

I bet the Ebay one is made in USA vs Amazon is definitely made in China. I'm guessing the higher price plus if you look at the Homelite bar you linked, it looks similar and says made in usa.

 

[Brufab]

That's a pretty good deal for under 40$. Unless you cutting wood like a mad man that bar should work just fine.

Surprisingly some of the oregon stuff is made in usa still. I have oregon chain I bought at box stores recently that was made in usa and I think the 14" single rivet oregon bar and chain combo for my echo cs400 I bought at Walmart is usa made. Have to see what others say. I'm no pro like alot of these guys are.

 

[gumneck]

I buy usa when I can but a deal is a deal for a 50 year old saw.

Gonna think on the bar some bar.

A couple of things I look for in a bar ,solid construction and a wider nose ( 4 rivets or more) or replacement sprocket nose.
Older Total bars and Oregon are pretty stout. I'd steer clean of the older laminate bars they tend to separate.

I found real old sugihara bar but I'm having trouble determining if its a d196 mount. It predates there new identification system. I looked everywhere other than ask Ray if he has a sugihara chart from the 60's/70's

If you have some calipers, measure the slot to see if its 9.5MM. if it is then I would say its D196 /D096

Brufab , the D196 bar that I measured had a 0.375" slot . The oil hole center line is 7/8" above the slot center line .

Yea the sugihara bar is on ebay but it sure looks like D196 next to an Oregon bar. Would be pretty sweet to have one on a remington pl4/pl5 shelf queen.

I'm sorry, when I read you "found" one, I just immediately took it that you had it in a pile of bars you had laying around...maybe worth asking the seller if they can measure. I did on a Remington 18" I see on Ebay now as I could use it on the SL4 and the 20" probably on a Homelite c51 or c52 as they look similar and have the same slot size.

Wish I could get my hands on one of them 2 man saws id love to find an IEL 2 man just to hang up. Not too many 2 man saws in southern Ontario no real logging operations by the time chainsaws came to be.

 

[Brufab]

There's a guy in michigan that might have one. He had some crazy old saws and some interesting 2 man saws for sale.

Getting closer to done on the Remington SL4...It's better than it was. Have a detail outline to tape off on the cover and going to respray the bottom and try some clear coat to see if it will help hold and keep the chipping down.
The bar n chain came in too, 20", 3/8. Said it had a scratch on the paint as to why it was only 31 bucks... scratch is back by the clutch so who cares.
These pics show the air lid with a lot of paint missing. I ended up taping up the middle of the cover to keep the name and just painted the side.

 

[gumneck]

You can see the outline of the remaining red line around the air lid. Going to try my hand at detail taping to see if I can make it straight.
