I bought a GB pocket breaker of eBay. It came with two punches, one to punch the rivets out, the other is concave on the end to peen the new rivets over. Haven't used it much yet but it seems to work good.

Same product as mine, but different brand. Come to think of it, the larger of mine may be concave also. Didn't look too closely as I thought it was for super large chain such as harvester gauges. Will have to investigate further.

Took this out to see if it would run and test and tune. Sharpened the chain, tune was way off but once I got it right it really rips good. It's a super XL. Where all of these manual oiler? Anyone got a longer bar for it? I prefer at least a 20" but really like a 28".

Not bad for free.

I think they all had a Manuel oiler, even the automatics had the manual override. Now some of the later blue models I have seen with the Manuel override delete, which is a plug that takes the place of the plunger.
 
I got BIG RED running today. It ran great. Purred like a cat. All I did was break it down and clean it really good. SAME fuel lines and filter.lol it was really filthy when I started and I think the reason the previous owner had problems was a clogged air filter.
Pretty awesome!IMG_20170716_233455801.jpg

Video? We can only imagine so much purring without actually hearing it. And yes, many of the saws I have worked on seem to have super low hours, and improper maintenance was what caused it to be shelved all these years. I'm not complaining though, it's gotten me my fair share of saws.
