Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

Just picked up this Wards Power Kraft 4.0 for $35 ! Put mix in the tank and it started after about 6 pulls. Sounds like a real beast.View attachment 498420

Nice find.

That saw appears to have a lot of paint left on it. Use caution when cleaning it.

Does the recoil slip when starting it?

It did. I filed very shallow grooves in the flywheel cup and it works fine now.

Still need to do that to mine.

Make sure you have the double 'D' friction washers on both sides of the cross bar and use NO oil. Dogs should fully extend in a quarter turn of the pulley when working correctly.

I think a previous owner put a rubber washer in place of the outer friction washer. Not sure about the inner. Are those available? I need to take this starter apart again now that I know a little more about how they work. Any info on finding the friction washers would be appreciated.

I bought forty off a lawnmower website. And, been passing them out as party favors at GTG.

PM your name/address and I'll send you a pair.
Carl .... Or call

Hmmm.... You near Chester or Red Bud?

 

[Car-guy2]

Thanks. PM sent. I'm just north of Metropolis.

Nagels and Kloepers are around Red Bud.

I asked the seller about the corrosion and for some photos of the bottom of the saw (see image four). They confirmed heavy corrosion, but didn't provide any photos. If the P&C were good, it might've been a good parts saw. The auction ended with 0 bids.

That will need a PTO side crankcase cover.
I did manage to pick one up for my SL-5R a while back.

Hi folks,

I managed to pick this one up in a pile of saws. Fellows helped me out on another site with identification. Looking at the IPL's it appears to be a PL-7. Primer is not present on the PL-6. Piston and cylinder look healthy.

Starter needs some work (friction washers) and a sharpening. Throttle latch not working. Clutch cover is very neatly cut away along the top. Factory? I figured it were cleaned up after an accident. I am thinking now that perhaps it were for a bow? Don't know is this were an option . I managed to get the primer operating and it starts, idles and throttles well. Lotta saw for the bar though. Forgot the decomp one time and pulled without conviction. Tore the grip from my hand.

Best described as loud.

Nice find, Cory. If I never find a Super 990, the PL-7 is my second on my Remington wish (keep wishing!) list.

The Pro 88 brought a good price. The yo-yo prices for Remington saws never cease to amaze me.

Someone finally bid on the gear drive.

 

[67L36Driver]

Anybody on here get the Pro 88 or the gear drive?

Not me, I already have one.
