Remington Super 880 Gear Drive

[Lee H]

Here is a saw I just received the other day. My new Holy grail saw as it is the only one I
have ever seen or heard of. I don't know if any other collectors have one. Super rare saw.
Thought it deserved to be in open forum as well as the Remington sticky.

Is it a runner? What are your plans for it Lee?

Regardless, very nice Man.

Not a runner yet Buddy, It has great compression so i'm guessing a good cleaning of the points,
fuel system and carb kit and it will run.

Lee's got a 72" bar and chain for it and he's gonna start falling timber as soon as it's running.

It's cool for sure... looks heavy. I'd bet a little rubbing compound would brighten that top cover up.

Full restore on this one or leave it as is??

A saw this rare needs to be left as is.

Nice find Lee!

 

[Lee H]

Thanks Dan.

 

[Redfin]

It looks long from the top handle back to the trigger. Can you take a pic with a 125 next to it?

 

[Lee H]

Here you go, Remember this is a gear drive saw. The SP125 is 18 from rear handle to tip of bar cover
not counting felling dog, The Remington direct drive is 19 and the gear drive is 21-1/4

I have the IPL for that. [emoji106]

And, the others on the list.

Not that there is a boatload of parts out there.

 

[67L36Driver]

Notice the 990 IPL is missing from the list.

 

[Lee H]

That's weird Carl. Wonder why the 990 is missing.

Any chance I can get copys of ipl's for both 880'S

Don't think this is an IPL, but would be nice to have one with the saw:

That’s an awesome find on the rare saw Lee. It’d be a hard decision whether to run it or park it, but I’d do a full restoration on it, and make it a shelf queen.

I feel a lot of saws are that way myself including the one in my avatar picture .

 

[Mastermind]

Leave it as it is. Just my personal opinion.

 

[Brufab]

You gotta run it to make sure it works. I just got a pretty clean 990 and it's gonna cut wood if not I'm passing it on to the next guy.
