A friend of mine texted me a photo of a ms290 he found cleaning out his parents house after they passed. I was gracious to have any saw to work on and accepted.

Decided to order the 390 jug and pop up from Sawsalvage. I plan to do some light grinding work. My first time doing that as well as my first complete tear down. The entire saw needs a deep cleaning while chasing before any reassembly

Many members have given me great advice thus far. I wanted to chronicle my build for any others tearing down the 1127 series.

So far the hardest part of teardown has been the rubber mount holding the handle to the case. I have slowly torn it down, placing parts and their screws in ziplocs with sharpie labels.

Yup, I have worked on many saws that looked like that, need to be an archeologist to dig the saw out of the dirt encasing it.
