Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

[Chris J.]

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

Not me. I'm holding out for a Super 990 or a SL-7 (yeah, right, that's going to happen when?), and my recent Poulan purchase drained my CAD fund.

 

[Chris J.]

Seriously?

$200.00 for an "untested" electric chainsaw?

Actually, if I had to own an electric chainsaw it would be a Remy. They havn't stopped making them since they bought out Mall.

I keep my eyes open for a professional quality electric chainsaw. There have been times when one would've come in handy cutting 4x4s, 6x6s, etc. One of these days I'm going to let go of some my "one of these days" project saws in trade for an elec saw.

I've been searching for an IPL for a Logmaster type.

Silver, Golden, SL-5, GL-7 or Pro 88.

Chain-saw-R has none for the big dogs.

Can anyone help?

Looking for the nut (left hand threads maybe) that holds the clutch on the crankshaft on a SL-5R gear drive.

Help appreciated.

Is it the same as an SL-5 direct drive? If so I'm pretty sure I have it.

None of my small stash of Remington IPLs go back that far. And I probably received some of the obscure ones from you.

I don't think so. The crankshaft is entirely different.

But, it would be worth a look.

OK I will pull it out and get some measurements.

 

[67L36Driver]

Careful, the spur drum on them is held on with a 1/4"-28 LH thread cap screw.
You can tell the difference just by removing the clutch cover.

It's in pieces in a box in the shop

 

[Car-guy2]

OK Carl, here's what I have. It's a one inch hex, 1/4 inch thick, with fine, left hand threads. O.D. of the crank threads is about .628"

 

[Car-guy2]

I've got the points cover too. They're yours if you want them.

PM sent!

Thanks to Car-guy the gear drive is a runner.

Need to make up an oil line so we can test cut.

Carl,

Did you still need a copy of the Pro 88 IPL? I have that and I can scan a repair manual section as well. Just say the word.

I've inexplicably passed on 1 or 2 of those planetary reduction Remy's. Wish I hadn't. Be interesting to see how much lighter they are then the typical Remy tanks.

Chris: Not in a hurry for the IPL. I got the SL-5R running. I had the points cam on upside down. Put the crank in a bind and no spark.

Lighter? I don't think so. Between the reducer weight and the obligatory fat bar/chain they are HEAVY!
R & R the bar is like wrasling alligators.

 

[cbfarmall]

The direct drives are bad enough for sure. I also have typical spur gear type. Never handled a planetary.

I wonder if I can stick a Pro88 cylinder/piston/crank in a Bantam case?
