Duplicated--sorry.

I've had a M/F saw similar to the picture for about 20 years and have finally begun to restore it. Mine is in decent condition but has a few poorly done repairs and missing parts. If any one has the same model that is fairly complete or knows how the clutch mechanism works I would greatly...
