Yota,
Remington... along with a few other older mfg's liked to use odd numbers for bar lenghts. Example, their cateloges will list 13", 15", 17", 19", 21", 25", etc. Roller nose bars are usually stamped near the tail stock and start with A2, hardnose bars start with A0. Just about all bar mfg's made a mount to fit Remington, as it is quite similar to other saws such as Homelite, Alpina, etc. A bar should be easy to come across. The nice thing is an old bar can usually be cleaned and the rails dressed and put back to use. Same applies to clutches and chain, lots of defferent ones to choose from and quite readily available.
If you can post some pics of your "project", we can get an idea of just what your up against.

A little "off color RED"
Here is a pair of Remington's hiding under some green and yellow paint. The 12 is of course a SL-9, and the 19 is a PL-5. I actually took them down to the local John Deere dealer in Vulcan, Alberta today, and they were happy to put them up on display.
Take a look at the rear handle on the 19. Notice that there is a decomp lever, but NO throttle lock. Not even a hole for one. That makes this a bit of a bear to start. I'm not sure if that was a John Deere stipulation during production or not. I'm sure that I've seen a SL-11 with a decomp and trigger lock, but can't be sure.

Some Chain packages
From time to time(not as often as I'd like), I come across some NOS chain. I try to grab it when I can.
The chain is NOS Flat Top chain in .404 .058ga. This chain will probably never see wood. It will end up on a NOS bar and preserved in a display.

Some NOS 7/16 Super Silver chain
although the original box is a little worse for wear, here is some NOS 7/16 0.58ga chain. It will end up on my displayed Logmaster with a 20"bar.
On the subject of 7/16 chain, we are all aware of just how difficult it is to find or make loops of this pitch of chain. I did manage to scoop a NOS Blue Jet clutch with removable sprocket for a Logmaster in .404. I hope that the P/N shows up in the pic.
Here is the original .404 replacement sprocket
And a oregon sprocket in 7/16
I have not the specs in front of me, but there is two different bearing sizes(shaft dia) on these sprockets. I'm not sure if the larger dia. is made for the Bantam series. Maybe someome more knowledgable could shed some light on this?

Although not a true Remington/Mall product, this is a NOS Oregon bar is made for a Mall 2MG saw. Check out the postage date and the fact that the zip code for Portland was only "22". I love the fact that the warranty card is still attached to the bar.

now that I've cluttered up this thread with a string of pics, I'd like to give a shout out to all who have posted pics here. There are some excellent posts and a ton of valuable info here. I wish there was something like this when I started collecting Remington/Mall, could have saved me countless hours guessing what it might look like.
Mr. Bow Saw, your restorations are incredible. The step by step photo's really bring to life the thrill it is to take a long forgotten piece of machinery from the 40's,50's,60's, and bring it to life again.That to me is the biggest draw of saw collecting.......the first time you fire a saw up that you've been toiling over for these past months(sometimes years). Beating the odds that(as some will say), "that'll never run again".

I bought this 754 from a man in Pennsylvania. It arrived yesterday. I will put some more pics once I get it cleaned up a bit.

Looks like a late model, Desa Remington, maybe. Should clean up nicely.

Anybody know the size and tpi of 754 bar nuts?
Warped5
WingNut
1/2" socket for the bar nuts.
TPI? Lost the gauge .... no doubt under a saw out there.

3/8- 24TPI
The IPL lists it as .38-24. I measured mine and it's the same. It'll take a 9/16 socket/wrench. A 1/2" socket will work on some of the PL series.
You can use nylon lock nuts, but pinch nuts would be the better choice

OK,
Too quiet in here...
Went out today to cut some buggy trails for my neighbour, who has bought a wider ATV with power steering. He's got a 455 Husky and constantly makes fun of my "coal fired" SL4, but I brought it along in case lightning hit the Husqvarna. He complained as usual, but I was doing the cutting so I said I'd carry it if he didn't have room on the buggy. Off we go.
Halfway through the third tree I notice smoke from the bar on the Husky. I stopped cutting and said "do all the Swedish ones do this?" and pointed to the by-now pretty toasty dry-as-a-bone bar. Opened the cap, checked bar oil. Full. Teaching moment.
Walked back to where my SL4 was, one two three pulls and off it went, thumbed the oiler a few times to rub it in and cut trails for four more hours. Every once in a while I would go back to the buggy and pat his Husky, tell my neighbour that it was a really nice colour; or really light; or (most times) really really quiet for a chainsaw.
