Searching for John Deere 8 (mighty mite)

[lmbrman]

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll just keep waiting and watching. What branding was on the blue one? I haven't researched it enough, I figured there were only the red and green versions...

I had to check the saw pile to answer because I could not recall. Both red and blue are remington branded, but the blue one is a sportsman and has a larger bore. Everything else seems interchangeable. Red one is a delux.

I think these saws were also sold as a montgomery wards featherweight.

I have a couple of the JD/Remington saws. One is a JD9 (sorry, no 8) but is also based on the Mighty Mite. The other is a bit bigger with a roller nose bar (have a look at the Roller Nose Bar thread for photo's).

If you might be interested, let me know. I am always on the lookout for odd McCulloch saws and parts.

Aaron beat me to it.

That's insane money for a Rem. Mitey Mite in odd colors.

An SL-9 in VG+ condition would be hard to pass up for the same money.

That case is pretty cool.

hey Danno, there is a model 91 jd on ebay right now, I tried to PM you, but your box is full -

just watched one go for crazy money a few days ago on ebay, it was a nice original model 8, i think it sold around $250.!, geuss i should have asked more for mine, looks like any saws under a tractor brand label sell for way more than standard versions:msp_sneaky:

Yep, I like to collect the Echo based John Deere chainsaws, I'm always a sucker for one of those..!:msp_drool:

Here's a few links, the first one is a broken(!) JD 55SV presently going for $150:

The second one is for 2 JD chainsaws one of them being a JD 91.
