OK, what are you wanting to pay for it?
I know it's been awhile since you posted this, I was wondering if you still have repair manuals for the PM Canadien saws I just got a 270,275, 360 and a 19A. Any info you could forward would be great.

I'd take a copy of those too, picked up a 270 and 360 last night. Considering these saws were made in Vancouver, they sure aren't that common around here.
My 21 was super easy to work on, very well engineered. heavy though.
Likewise... i have a 270 and would greatly appreciate any literature on it.
You did a great job on that saw. I'm going try and get the 360 to look that pretty too.

Thanks! I figured I should do a good job as its kind of a rare one. Plus it was made right here!
How is the chrome on your 360? mine has a little bit of surface rust spots, but I'm hoping that they'll come off with some steel wool.
I cleaned it up a bit with steel wool, lots of rust spots still but for the age it's pretty good

The 19A is going to be more work, not sure about getting the flywheel off its already got a broken bolt in one of the holes for puller and one hole hat the top portion busted off.
It's the one that looked the best out of all and it's the worst. haha

I got lucky, my 21 was almost mint under all the ugly paint and dirt. I'd recommend using heat and penetrating oil. I've yet to have a flywheel that didn't come off after the use of a map gas torch, penetrating oil and a solid hit from the hammer on the puller. I've also seen people tap around the edge of the flywheel and on the crank snout.
It's soaking now while I work on the 360.
I took the fuel tank off its rusted pretty bad inside a couple small holes.
It's now at a rad shop getting cleaned and soldered up.
Well just got a call the 360 tank is like Swiss cheese. Going to go looking for another.

I do have a good repair manual on the old Canadiens but my scanner does not work now with Windows 10. I'll try to figure a way to scan and post that info here when I can.
That would be great. I have been taking a 360 and A19 apart both will need recoil springs and new ignitions. 360 tank will need some epoxy work but so far so good no major damage. Better than expected.
Thanks

I got that flywheel off today, was a good day.
I picked up the 360 tank it's cleaned up nice, going to fix it up with epoxy.

Here's a couple manuals. Got several Canadiens, mainly from the 270/275 series.
Amazing, thank you!!
Good stuff, thanks a lot.
There's a lot of corrosion on some of the parts, I think I will clean them then primer some and put some epoxy on the worst pieces. The 360 and 19A are looking ok, they will both run again.
Found these.
