Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

Drew: I'd check and see what 'The Greek' on eBay lists.

How thick are they? Once you get to two inch bore, they can be 1/16" or 3/32" thick as standard.

Morning Carl,

I looked at the greek on the bay. Looks like he sells caber rings. I'm sure I read that Jerry had got rings from him and was happy with the quality. I'll get the thickness measured. Does dept come into play? I know you need dia + thickness, but not depth(or is width a better word?)

 

[67L36Driver]

Depth in groove is usually not a problem.

Buy plain ends and Dremmel the notch to clear locator pin (1/16" dia.).

I've gotten a couple dozen sets from him by now.

Edit: Re-thinking the Dremmel thing.
It may be too fast and aggresive and risk breakage.

Better to use a hand operated 1/16" dia. swiss pattern file.

Drew: Be careful of the ring land. You do not want a nick or scratch on him.

What do you mean about the ring "land"?

Carl and I have been talking in PM's about a source for new rings for a 754. If anyone has any ideas please post up. I need rings that are 52.3mm x 1.6mm (2.06 x .063"). I have tried the "Greek", but anything over 52mm dia, the rings are min 0.079" thick.
I have a 754 all tore down for restoration. It's getting new bearings and seals, paint...the works. Just stuggling finding a source for new rings. I could use the rings in it now. It seemed to have good comp and the rings still have horizontal machine marks on them in places, but with all this effort, I'd like to go new.

used rings are acceptable in the Harley mechanics school. ive seen a video explaining what will & wont work, I could explain here, or ask to see pics of yours, if you're at all interested... I know you want new, and I would too, regardless of what hd or anyone else says... but if yer stuck... I don't own the tape or id send it...

Ring land = bottom of ring groove. Side of ring seals under gas pressure against surface.

Push comes to shove and you have to use old rings, swap ring from bottom groove to top. Theory is, bottom ring will have slighly less wear.

My Pioneer RA (Fat Alice) got the above treatment. Pumps 130 psi.

That Remy have two or three rings?

This Golden Logmaster started with a .99 opening bid and a BIN of $250.00. I placed a small bid to see if it had a reserve, it doesn't.

I think, after some relentless searching, I may have found a supplier. Hastings seems to list a ring that will fit. I'll call them on Monday. If it does work I'll post up the part number here for future reference. I'm sure the old rings would be fine, just want to go new, as it is a major disassemble to change rings on the Bantam series!

"Fat Alice", I love it!
It is a two ring piston. All the groves and lands are in excellent shape. Not even much carbon build up. I do not think this saw was run a lot, or it was recently rebuilt. It was hard to tell with all the layers of paint. Points look next to new. No pitting or burns. Hard to guess the history by examinging the parts.

I was watching that saw too.......

15 bids to get to $41.........seems that there is some interest. I'll wager it jumps in $$$ in the last 3min. It looks like a good original unit.

105 cc and weighs a ton. What's not to like.

Got that niche covered by my Pro 88.

Ring selection is scant over 2" and under 2 1/4" bore. Top end of saw engines and bottom range for lawnmowers.

You don't see 'em every day.

Nope, just had to follow our nose thru him. He didn't need any parts except clutch/bar cover and we made due with one from a Super 75A which was close enuff.
