Started restoring this Mall 12A.

I got the Bow bar done, still need to do the power head.

From the Dept. of Little Brothers, my old MS290, my first new saw - pretty much on permanent loan to him.

It comes home once in a while, looking like this:

I'll give it a cleaning and sharpening, fill it full of fresh fuel, and check that everything's working alright tomorrow, and send it back with the standard "bring it over if it doesn't act right or gets dull". Trouble is, he's just a homeowner who pulls it out a couple times a year, and will bring it back in another year looking like this again. :bang: Say what you want about these saws, they take abuse amazingly well.

This saw is the reason I found AS btw. The top cover still has a crack from the tree I landed on it, found this site while trying to figure out how to get it apart to replace the front handle, and it's been all downhill since.

These other guys got me hooked on square.........I'll never be the same.

I'm calling BS, and I mean bull####, not that fella. There isn't any way on God's green earth that a square chain grinder can make your legs bigger, or make your speak normally.

Doodoo brown is so 1984. Have you tried something in taupe? Or perhaps raw umber?

nice resto job. looking at your pix gave me pause for some consideration.
wondering what the chain drivers run on in the bow? i'm guessing some kind of rail but how do you r&r the rail when worn and where do you find replacements? inquiring minds wanta know.

salmon

if your touching up the salmon is real nice ,if your reshaping round to square you may pick up a grey wheel ,they dont turn the tip of the cutter bright red so bad when taking lot of the tooth off ,the grey doesnt hold an edge very long ,but good for learning with ,you can reshape with salmon but not in 1 pass
