Looks great! I thought from the looks of paint job on your PM21 you had a paint booth. What's the paint your using? I bought a can of cream coloured paint I will try today see if it's close.

In my dreams I have a really nice paint booth.....
in reality it all gets painted out side of the shop while hanging on a line, then hung inside to dry.The blue is some duplicolor car touch up paint, the white/cream is tremclad "recreational white" I found a nice section of paint that wasn't damaged and it was quite close in color. The PM21 was straight gloss white, and I don't think it looks quite right, but the almondy color also didn't seem right either. All of it was primed with duplicolor self etching primer.
All of it will be top coated with spraymax 2k gloss clear. Its pricey, but very good for fuel/abrasion resistance.

i used Rustoleum Metallic Cobalt Blue, and Almond, looks pretty close. i did the same with sanding the logos and clearcoat.
Redid this one a few years. Stopped short of pulling crank since it turned smooth at the time (and I didn't know how). Has a few defects but runs well enough. Typical old direct drive. Kind of slow to wind up and overly-large chain--1/2" pitch.Chris B.
That looks good, not sure if mine will be a runner, the case is pretty rough it might not have the strength left in the metal.
I will try and get it to work, I cleaned the case now I want to get it bead blasted a bit and see if it disintegrates.
I don't have the equipment for that. It's just the case that's corroded.
Stick a wire cup or something in that case, clean it and lets see a picture.

Looks good, Pete
How does this 21 run? These don't really get a lot of press for whatever reason but I sure find them appealing. These and the geardrives are saws I would love to find.
Chris B.
Well that was a good idea, I got at it, it's pretty clean now a lot of pitting inside but I think it's still solid enough.
Going to put some primer on it tomorrow.
That doesn't look too bad. Seen alot worse.
Do you plan on crossing and replacing the bearings?

Going to see about getting some new bearings and seals, some caber rings are on the way.
I've that most of those old saws used off the shelf bearings and the bearings usually have numbers. Clean them and look them over. Of course, that weird rod bearing is an exception.

I think I will take the parts with me too, there's some 2 roller bearings in the flywheel side of the case and 2 in the wrist pin end of the con rod.
My 270 has the tank vent on the right side of the tank instead of the left like yours, strange.
Never heard of such a thing. Do you have a picture?
I will take a picture later, my tank vent is directly underneath the choke lever, in fact the choke lever hits the edge of it. It's definitely factory original.
Took a few pictures of the tank vent, you can see mine is on the right (clutch) side of the tank, magneto side is solid. I wonder if they changed after early production? I lifted off the tape i have on the vent for painting.

Do you suppose that tank could have come from one of the 270 variants produced later, such as the 175 or 1660 Skil? Is the 270 serial tag on the bottom of the tank? Never seen the vent anywhere but the left side. And that tank is on all the 27x models.
