Remington Super 990

If it makes you feel any better I missed out on a 5400 on a far away Craigslist, he didn't want to ship it. Asking price? $15.

For that price I would have found a local package shipping store and paid someone to go get it!

I tried, not so many of those in some parts of Big Sky Country.

And my lovely wife refuses to understand how grown men (oops, and some women) can romanticize about a "saw"


(I built her a 4'x12' sealed walk-in closet for her "shoes")


That's a sweet saw Thomas, you need a fish-eye lens on your camera tho'


luck,greg

I'm stuck with the camera phone or iPad, usually, I may have to steal the dslr for some better shots.

Wow. Very cool. Awesome bar. 6.46 cu. in. !!!! Congrats.
Awesome styling on those years.
Makes me want to dig the Bantam out of my basement. Maybe some day.

Around 106cc?

I thought about it. I'm waiting on my 1" impact to arrive so I can tighten a couple of screws.

The impact in combination with a cutting torch works great for those pesky screws.

Not rubbing, I am still surprised I lucked into it.

On the paint, it looks like ths one was repainted at least once. The red color scheme is definitely showing through, I don't know if the factory painted over the red or if it was done later.

I was joking you know.

Just a little awed at your find. As for the $15 5400, you could almost drive and pick it up for that price if it was a good one.

Very nice Thomas, I'd love to hear that one run. I suspect if you fire it up I will get a chance regardless of where I am in the country at the time.

Acres site has them as yellow/black but the resto's I see all seem to be red/white. Maybe the factory changed color scheme for a new model year and painted over the already produced red ones...

Yellow/black is way better looking in my opinion.

I will definitely get a video once i get her going again. The pull cord and carb shouldn't be a big deal, just a matter of making the time to do it.

With some of the collections guys on here have or saws they have run, I never thought I would get to see one of these in person, let alone own one.

True Tim. However, it is American, over six cubes, came with a big honkin' RN bar, and is probably more 'rare' than all the fantastic old Yeller/Black saws except the BP-1 and maybe the 49. Heck I've seen more guys here post up pics BP-1's than Remmy 990's, by a good margin.

I think he meant the yellow/black color scheme as opposed to the red/white color scheme, both of the Remington variety.

Although I could use a big Mac to share this bar with. Anybody got a kart saw or Super 797 they want to give away?
