PO must not have been very mechanical, as could see lots of things jerry rigged and or messed up after scraping away worst of the crud.Īt first exam, this 1974 model 28-380 was missing the upper blade guide and guard, both 4 step pulleys were missing, the blade tension adjuster rod and nut were both stripped, the high/low speed clutch was frozen, the motor was 3450 rpm and not working (hums), missing lots of little things and hadn't even gotten into it yet. Let’s just say she was rode hard and put away wet frequently. Here she is before I unloaded it in the driveway. As I had just finished a major rust repair to the deck of the Gravely and was extremely tired of cutting 1/8 sheet metal with jig saw and grinding discs, I decided to take a chance on it. Could see the metal cutting gear reduction shaft was there (no pulley) so knew it was the metal/wood version, and could see the upper blade guide was MIA. ![]() The only description said something like “never been under power – no info”, with 3 poor quality photos. ![]() I bought this gal back in May at a local on-line only auction for $60. Maybe someone on here will understand the difference in model numbers? ![]() Saw is marked 28-300, but that is without a base. Different documents show the enclosed base version of the 28-300 basic saw as 28-380 and 28-390, so not sure which one it is. I have asked some questions during my recent rebuild (thanks Rich for your help), and am now almost finished the effort.
