Hey ya'll.. Long story, but I will spare you the details. When my dad died I inherited his 045 electric PRO 5. I stripped it down after he died to clean it up, had no clue what I was doing and broke the piston skirt. This was nearly 20 years ago. I've had the saw in baggies and a few different boxes. Fast forward a to now, my son took interest when I was cleaning up my saws, and doing some minor repairs. We are wanting to take on rebuilding Grandpa's old saw to working condition. I think I've managed to find all the screws and bits that I've lost over the years on EBAY.
However I want to upgrade the saw to have a functioning chain brake. It's my understanding that these were optional at the time, and they were quickly disabled or tossed aside. I found a side cover, and the lever arm to the hand guard. What I am now looking for is all the little bits, springs, plastic inner cover, band, etc.
Anyone have a dusty ol' saw on sitting around?
PS The 045's came with three different cylinders 50mm, 52mm, and 54mm.. Mine is a 52mm but if anyone also has a 54mm or a 056's 56mm piston and jug I'd love to pep it up a little too!
This is also posted in Treebay, but thought I'd add it here too for extra visibility
