Looks real good Brad, nice work. Those 028's look like they will be around for ever, there a good old saw.
Nice clean up! How old is that saw?
I have no idea. I believe this to be an early one, although it doesn't have a metal tank.
Brad,
Did you take the saw completely apart (split it) and run it through the dishwasher to get it that clean or what?
Please excuse me for butting in, but I'd say before 1980. Reasoning is this, I bought my father a new after I started working full-time in summer 1980. The 028 I bought is a Wood Boss w/ electronic ignition, plastic tank and a chain brake. Maybe that will help your timeline.Hmmm i was just curious late 80s?

I did everything except split the case. I leave the cylinder bolted one while I clean the case in my parts washer. That keeps the nasties out of the case. Once the case is clean, I remove the P&C. I rarely ever use the dishwasher since getting this parts washer. It's a lot faster for me to clean it by hand.
Someone asked about the chainbrake on this saw. It doesn't have one, and doesn't appear to ever had. Did early 028s come this way?
Yes, it needs a new sprocket.
Nice job, Brad!
You can trust the arrow on that 42mm piston.....The first one I took apart, I thought it must have been mis-marked, but all the 42mm 028's run the ring end gaps forward.
