Montgomery Ward chainsaw (TMC24060A - 88cc)

Crank bearings are needle type with separate thrust washers. Check your crank play. Should be no up and down and a little side to side. I haven't generally found rod bearings loose on these saws. They tend to be understressed. For the case orings, just clean everything up and coat them with motoseal or yamabond or Hondabond or a gas safe sealer and reassemble.

That muffler may require a spacer like here.

Ok, I was looking online for a while and I can't seem to find anything on the crank bearings or crank seals. The bearings might be okay, but I'll need to replace the seals for sure. Any ideas or sources for seals?

I'll keep that in mind for the o rings. I'll be careful removing them. I've heard good things about Yamabond. Maybe I'll give that stuff a try.

Did some digging online. Found a guy would went through a Remington Bantam and rebuilt it. He had some part numbers up there. His used the same crankcase as mine (35254). I'm assuming it would also use the same crank bearings and seals.

Crank bearings are Federal Mogul SCE 1211
Crank seal (flywheel side) is SKF 7443

Unfortunately he didn't list the clutch side seal part number. I'll have to do some more research on that.

Seals are CR9838 and 7443. Common sizes.

Great! Thank you!
