I rescued this Pro 88 from the scrapyard and after seeing it was nearly complete, decided to do a resto. The biggest problem was the clutch drum. The sprocket was complete worn - more than any other I had seen. I was able to adapt a Homelite Super 1050 clutch drum and clutch since the crank threads were the same.
The finishing touch was the decals. Great job Joe!

Sorry for the delay in responding, lot of stuff going on. Yes, she's a runner, started on ten pulls and sounds really good. I thought I had shot a video but can't find it.
I'm having a little trouble with the one-way valve on the bar oiler - won't shut off completely and oil runs down so I'm looking for a replacement.
