Wallfish 698 #1 Posted March 7, 2020 While putting away the newly finished Chip A Saw, this one was in a box, in the way so might as well start on a new project. Unfortunately the paint is junk so it will probably need to be sprayed. Chainsaws are lower on my list of collectable tools so that's the reason there's a few need to be gone through. This has been in a box on the shelf and hasn't seen daylight for years, just like that Bee Jay winch from the engine rebuild thread. Did I mention painting is low on the fun list? The 2 tools are a very similar in yellow so getting them ready to do at once is the plan for now. There's also and older type Chip A Saw but that is already done, just not painted. Can't remember if the yellow color is similar. Maybe @JUST O&R 's decal guy can make a couple of Mono saw decals???????? Huh? Maybe? Huh? 2 Fishnuts2 and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CNew 404 #4 Posted March 7, 2020 These are too large for the engine recoil cover but should work for the side cover for the chain. https://www.sugarcreeksupply.net/collections/decal-sets/products/mono-3-5-tree-logo-decal-set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love a Tiny Tiger but they all seem to make silly money plus shipping as you say is very expensive.

It's not just smaller, the MONO text is rounded to match the starter too, personally I would leave the starter as it is, I prefer to keep original decals that aren't too far gone.

Sending a PM Best of luck, I tried contacting them to see if they would scale down the decal as well and never got a response. Never know, maybe my emails ended up in their spam folder... I’m just going to use one on the chain cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, me too. It was better until some over spray carb cleaner smeared the lower left. 1 factory reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #12 Posted March 8, 2020 I do but unfortunately the recoil cover was replaced at some point and it doesn’t have any of the original decal I bought a set of the Mono decals from Sugar Creek, let me dig around for those and check to see if there were two in the package, I only need one for the chain cover... Someone might be able to also use this as a pattern and scale it down for the recoil cover but like David pointed out it won’t be quite like the original. I didn’t think of contacting Jim’s decals or anyone’s else to see but it might be an option. JustO&R: if your decal guy had one of these new decals would he be able to use it as a pattern to make the smaller one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to admit, I do like these little O&R engines and the tooling they design for them to power. Not a fan of Chainsaws, but I like my little 71 Baird Poulan. Your project subject looks interesting. Is the saw chain 1/4" pitch and the blade 12" ?. Also looks to have a manual oil pump?. Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine is missing the the plastic knob So these have a different pitch chain to the more common O&R/ORline versions (& rebrands or these)? Some of the later O&R/AEP powered chainsaws did have what they claimed was an automatic chain oiler, from old adverts I suspect they just incorporated it into the throttle control.

factory 487 #21 Posted March 8, 2020 I only have parts lists for O&R made (& rebrands) chainsaws and the later 6 digit part numbers don't give any sizes, also I can't confirm that other manufacturers used the same chain & sprocket as O&R did. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wallfish 698 #23 Posted March 19, 2020 Slow progress on this one but it's close. Been stay'n up late and pecking away at it. The paint is a little light of a tint for the yellow but it's staying. And no way was I going to spray paint everything like the originals were done. I was able to save the original recoil decal. Got it peeled off then painstakingly had to very carefully scrape off all of the stuck paint from the back of it. Scraped off the smearing and dinge from the white parts and touched up the color parts. It came out alright but still need to spray a coat of clear over it. Clint helped me out with the wording of the tank decals and those were just printed on my own. The aluminum handle was broken down at the bottom where it bolts on so had to fix that too. 4 factory, JUST O&R, Fishnuts2 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CNew 404 #24 Posted March 19, 2020 Man thats looking really nice! I’m with you, I don’t plan to paint everything on mine either, looks so much better having the normal engine parts not painted. Nice job removing the original decal! Do you still need/want one of the decals for the chain cover side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
