dadroadie Posted July 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks for the reply and the link to the manual! Even though it is not the same model I have, I need a 137.226200, the blade tension and the blade holders appear to be similar. The only thing I still need to sort out is how to lubricate the upper arm bushings. If anyone has some ideals please let me know. Again thanks to everyone in the forum for the help on sorting this out. Regards dad roadie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the model numbers mean anything. As for maintenance, I think you will have to wing it. Planned obsolescence was what they had in mind. Wear it out and replace it. A few drops of oil at any wear points will go a long way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks to everyone in the forum for the help on sorting this out. Regards dad roadie Quite a few of these older saws has oil light brass bushings.. what is oil light? It's lubricant impregnated into the brass material so they are basically self lubricating. I do not know if your saw is that way but most all saws that have a brass bushing / bearing have the oil-light brass. If it has actual ball / needle type bearings then they need oil or grease. .. I'm betting this saw is brass bushing / bearing. These saws generally run fairly smooth unless the bushing / bearing is worn.. and if really worn you usually see a blade that looks blurred when the saw is running especially at higher speeds. These brass bushings do wear out and need replacing from time to time. That is typically the only maintenance the arms require.
