My mind has just been BLOWN!

[dff110]

Bored at work and scrolling through feabay, when I stumble onto this....John Deere Fanatics are complete morons.

For people that don't want to load the page:

Up for sale is a John Deere 19 (Remington PL-5) chainsaw that is in running order, and has been "cleaned up and painted" Looks pretty nice, until you notice that all the lettering has been stenciled on!



Now we move to the top, which has a very nice John Deere sticker. That I'm sure is not anything close to what it looked like from factory.


But the overall quality of the paint job looks nice...right?

he couldn't even bother to take the saw apart and paint it properly.

At first I thought this was just a good laughing material, and added it to my watch list for **** and giggles. Today I notice it sold for $255! Who in their right mind is dumb enough to pay that for a Remington PL-5 with lettering that a 2 year old did, and a $4 paint job.

All I need is some green and yellow paint, the proper sticker, and I have a few grand worth of old Remmys in my garage.

People and their money never fail to amaze me.

For several years in a row- I got my dad camo hunting clothing. One year, he got the jacket, next year he got four of the shirts, the following year he got the pants.

I find this thread amusing because John Deere dealers also handle Stihl.

Wow, that's more like it. Welcome home son.

A local sign company duplicated the graphics on the model 23 I restored. Took the air filter cover and clutch cover to them for measurments and pictures.

Turned out well enuff.

And, don't be critical of the overspray. Remington painted the saws nearly completely assembled. Paint on plug wire and spark plug is expected.

Yes, the air filter lid is all wrong. And, yes, Deere collectors are nuts but, arn't we all?

I'm smellin' a complete fake on the model 19. All the original John Deere/Remingtons I've observed have orange fuel caps and throttle triggers.

Seller neglected to display the builder's tag.

Original John Deere 18.


Note the orange trigger and fuel cap.

Remingtons are famous for their paint loss.

I had noticed the orange trigger in the OP. I know John Deere collectors are a little nuts, my Uncle and Cousin have 12ish old deers all done up. And they live in town.

I think the worst part is the stenciled letters. To someone that knows nothing about chainsaws it looks very clean other than the crappy stenciling on the bar and clutch cover.

I sold the above model 18 to a dairy farmer near Joetown. He proceeded to find three more Deere/Remy saws at auctions, farm sales etc.

I created a monster. Claims green ones run better than red ones. L.O.L.

Wait till the auction winner find out he paid premium for a fake...............................................

That is an auto-oiler powerhead. If it runs true to form, the check valve is tar and that pup will suck bar oil into the engine.

This one passes as the real deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111296585131?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
As is this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111298246238?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

You wouldn't happen to have an extra muffler cover laying around by any chance???

I don't have a dad, save money annually. Lol

Not if you can get double what you paid...

Wish I did. I'm actually short a PL/SL-4 muffler myself. Been eyeballin' a Homie C-5 stack to adapt it.

I do have a PL/SL-55 mostly complete muffler (like one below). And, lots of orther Remy stuff.

 

[Tom Hoffman]

do you think thats worth the price? appears to be in decent shape
