Remington Chainsaws(including Mall chainsaws)

It's like having a Poulan $, and having the same model dressed up as an Allis Chalmers $$$.

Yup!

I asked the seller for a photo of the bottom of this SL-4A.

$45.00 total (if no other bids) for a SL-4A with white death is a bit much.

The Good--The seller posted some additional images.
The Bad--Serious white death.

Damp basement floor. The worst place to store a saw.

I'm just messing with Carl, to each his own.

That said, what John Deere chainsaw have you seen consistently bring the prices of the Allis Poulans? Those things are money in the bank.

Oh great, I just deleted my long response.

My point is using a saw with limited value, be it a Remington or a Poulan, to rebuild the saw with more value, be it a John Deere or an Allis Chalmers, makes sense. I didn't imply--at least I don't think that I did--that a JD saw has the same value as an AC.

People respond to a John Deere saw add on Craigslist . No one has ever responded to my Remington saw listings.
It's all about the green and yellow.[emoji847]

Monkey Wards 3.1"/ SL-10 on Evilbay now.
I bet it don't make the 160+ the John Deere 12 made last week.

 

[Chris J.]

I missed that one, or it showed up after I did my morning search.

"Minor paint chipping." Well, a good scrubbing will take care of that .

SL-55 performed well yesterday. Two turns open on the oiler adjustment for the 24" X 3/8" bar. It even would idle good between cuts.


Plan is to switch the rim for .404" and mount a 20".

The clutch is a bit smallish on the 82cc Remys. Same clutch as the PL/SL-4 & 5.

 

[Chris J.]

Oops. Never mind.

 

[67L36Driver]

Bought it and put it on the shelf two years ago. Filled the fuel tank and it was running in 8-10 trys.


Noodled the pine under him.

Woodsman on Evilbay. Blue. SL-4. Way overpriced. Yikes!

$90.00 total...if no other bids...for a seized-up Logmaster.

Yeah Chris, that one is most likely a GL-7 from the color scheme.

I got a GL-7 in near running condition from a forum member for the postage IIRC.


Thread on the Bendix Scintilla coil swap is on the OPE forum now.

There are two interesting Remington saws on eBay. One is clearly labelled a PL-5, the other one appears to be a SL-5 partially disassembled. With BIN & Best Offer, & shipping, both could be had for a bit less than $100.00 (the BO could lower the price).

 

[67L36Driver]

Clearly Remington dealers did not sell many saws in my area. Most of my collection is Wards Power Kraft.[emoji849]

Chris, you are overdo. I'll shoot you a link to the next PL/SL-55 I find.[emoji108]

Me, or Chris cbfarmall? You're first on my contact list if I happen to find a Super 990. Don't hold your breath, the market for vintage and/or decent used chainsaws in & near Houston sucks.

Edit--Carl, have you read Mike Acres bio at his site? He was a rep for Remington, which probably explains why his site has so much Remington info & so many images.

 

[67L36Driver]

You, Bean has Mark to help him. [emoji849]

Broke the recoil spring on my $26 Wards 5.0" today. Well I guess it's about time to at least clean him up. Spent an hour on the starter bending a new anchor loop etc. Rest of him gets cleaned next.

 

[67L36Driver]

Project creep. Clean up, points adjust and round up bucking dawg for the Wards.

The 7/16" X 20 on the SL-55 has revealed a flaw. Clutch on these is some short on capacity.
