Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[thomas1]

I may swap out some of he fasteners, but I don't think I will attempt a full blown restoration.

The paint on the cases, behind the clutch cover, is red while the outside is the tan/orange and white color scheme. Any significance to that?

Do Remington bucking spikes exist?

Do Remington bucking spikes exist?

Yup, most every one of the Bantam style came with them. Except my Wards/Rem. 660ish...................

Bet Chainsawr may have one.

Remington PL-5 Powerlite

This one come in to me to fix and get running. Was bought by owners grandad for his dad as his first saw. The recoil fairbanks morse type friction didnt work and wore out and pulley was useless.

When his dad passed on the saw was left to him. He wants me to go ahead and finish getting it running for old time sake and memories. Today she runs and cuts.

Special Thanks to Mweba on locating parts for me.

Also weirdest fuel filter I have seen molded into the fuel line itself.

Yup, Kotex tampon type. I have found them at a local OPE repair shop.

That one has retained more of its' original paint than usual.

I didn't check in the IPL's but, I'd bet 10 USD to a donut they are the same.

Super 754 bearing replacement

I finally got my 754 apart. I thought I had a seized piston/cyl, but it turns out that one of the rod bolts had come loose. This happened at low RPM, so there's not too much damage to anything other than the bearings. I might replace the connecting rod just to be safe. My question is....how do you replace those little roller bearings? I haven't been able to locate a service manual......

If the rollers are still in place along with the two screws, I would Locktite the screws one at a time and button him back up. Otherwise, you hold the rollers in the rod and the cap with wheel bearing grease and assemble. Again, useing Locktite.

No, they're not in place. They came out when I took it apart, and they don't look to great, either. The bolt, that came loose, is also bent and has thread damage. So, I'll replace the rod....just to be sure. Thanks for the reply.

You may also be looking for a crank. If it has no dings and is as smooth as a baby's butt, OK, ortherwise......................................................

I have a PL/SL-55 carcass in the same situation. :bang:

Yeah, I have to finish cleaning it and check it out. Does anyone have a COMPLETE IPL for the 754? I downloaded one, from the net, but it's missing pages.:msp_ohmy:

That is where I got my 754 IPL from. I haven't used it yet, so not sure if it is all there. Hopefully it helps you out.

You can buy Torrington bearing rollers separate/loose at an industrial bearing supply house. Expect to buy them in quantity like 25, 50 or 100 at a wack.

Thanks. Tried it, but it's missing pages, too. The last page shows a number of illustrations, but there is no list to look up the numbers for those...

Do you happen to know the aftermarket crank bearings and seals for the saw? The bearing has BRENAN BR-121610 on it, and the Torrington 121610 is the only thing, I've found, that looks right. Can't see any numbers on the seal, though..figured while it was apart.................

Carl, I didn't forget about your PL-5 piston. I should be tearing into that parts saw within the next two weeks. What is the diameter of a PL-5 piston? My parts saw is a un-marked monkey wards. I'm using it for a few parts for my PL-4. Want to make sure it is what you need

48.5 mm or 1.910"

I have rings on hand for it but the piston looks so bad I didn't want to start the project.

Been amusing myself with some Poulan 306 types.

Logmaster SL-5 find

Hellow, there is a trash truck that comes around once a week in my part of the county for everyone to bring their trash to and i got to talking to the fellow that drives the truck about any saws that show up awhile back. We got to talking again last week and he thought i only wanted Homelites and i said again anything old and loud and he said he had a Remington, well a week later he pulled out a total complete SL-5 that has now come home with me. Turns over nice and the roller tip chain can be moved in the bar and the tanks are spotless but no spark. Before i wreck anything i want to ask how the flywheel comes off so i can get to the points since this is my first Remington. I got the starter off but now there is a starter catch thing on the flywheel that needs to come off and that is where i stopped. Is the nut right handed normal threads that holds the flywheel down and will that let the starter catch thing come off so i can get a puller on. I hate doing anything the first time for fear of mucking things up. I figure i can take my Dremil and shine the points up and get spark again if i can get in there.
