Does anyone have any specs on this saw? It's a Remington Powerlite. Check out the rollernose. I got it for free, or should I have been paid to take it?

Nice remington John.
You should post some video of it.
Hows your new Pro sharp working? I might need a few race chains.

Hi Hunter, the grinder works fantastic, thanks.

I buffed the remington bar and closed the rails and then spread them to 34 millimetres. I've noticed the metal made in Canada is much more superior to that made in the United States. In fact it's even much better than the German steel. Even the limeys can't hold a candle to our metal, but it's too bad the Canadians nor Americans can't build a saw. Has anyone else noticed that?

Remington pl?

pl-4,3.6 cu in. pl-5,4 cu.in,pl-6,pl-7,5.7 cu in.Looks a lot like a Homelite xl-12 or Lombard Al-42 and take offs.Sometimes you can't tell the players,without a score card.:) About 80% of my old bars,are Canadian made.Dumb me,I always thought that Oregon was on the west coast of the USA,but knew that Winsor,was in Canada.Even my McCulloch bars are Canadian made,and I thought Mac.,was in L.A.I should have paid more attention,when I was in school.Yep,at on time,good saws were made on both side of that unpatrolled border.It seems that a whole bunch of of execs fell asleep at the switch.By the same token,the Brits made a lot of good Motorcycles at one time{and I am a Harley man],and let them slip down the drain.The USA made some good steel,and a lot of it,at one time.Take a little drive through Gary Ind.,or Cleveland Ohio or Wheelig WVa. where are all the Mills?Perhaps all the execs that messed up Mac. and Homie and Pioneer,and Bsa ,and Norton,went to the same university as the execs of Us steel ,Bethleham and JandL.:angry:
 
Yes Gypo you need a video of that saw ,
but i think i got the saw of the week , Hunter's 088, she has only 2 tanks of fuel threw her but she does talk and can do the walk, need to gear her up more cause a 10 is not enough so we will put a 11 tooth on her tonight, I will talk to you later Gypo
 
I have a few of those tips Lamebert, I will put them in the package with the boots and software. How did my 7900 run when you and Fast Eddy hooked up. If you ever take holiday I need to give you a ride in my new sets of wheels.
