Wallfish 698 #3 Posted January 25, 2015 These saws are the only tool I know of which use a particular type of belt, so when you break the tool down be careful not to damage the belt. VERY difficult to find a replacement if not impossible. They're not fragile but if it does get damaged your saw is ruined. It will be located under the plate behind the blade. There is a belt tension screw forward of the front two engine mounting screws so loosen all 4 engine mounting screws and back out the tension screw to remove the belt. Once the belt is removed you can take the engine off. You can find an engine rebuild thread pinned to the top of the O&R section so that should help with the engine. Best thing to do is post some pictures of your saw and ask any questions as you go along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjd2468 0 #4 Posted September 9, 2015 I also have this saw in mint condition with matching metal storage case with carry handle. I'm wondering what year this was made? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 698 #5 Posted September 11, 2015 We haven't been able to determine exact years for any O&R engines or tools but if you post some pictures of your saw, it can be narrowed down. There were minor differences made to the engines over the years. The saw pictured above is an early model and built 1960 - 62 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
