I bought this for $20 in a bin on market place completely disassembled. 

So far I have been able to put it back together for the most part. I have realized I am missing the angled airfilter, the 2 shields that go around the cylinder head and the correct chain. I was able to source the right chrome handle off ebay. I was also able to re bend the recoil ends to there original shape off some pictures I found on here.

Those cylinder cooling fins and the air cleaners are some of the most common missing parts so your best bet is to keep an eye out on ebay as they do pop up every once in a while.

Search "Orline chainsaw" for the other parts too. Chain and throttle cable. The FORD saw is just a branded Orline saw so the parts are the same, just a different color

You will also need a new carb diaphragm too.

If you choose to do it,  the crank seals can be somewhat rejuvenated by soaking them in place with a few drops of old school brake DOT3 brake fluid. Synthetic will not work. Carb cleaner spray can work too but not as well plus it washes off the lubrication oils so it'll start dry unless you oil them afterwards and before starting it.
