- Sort of a clarification of what we are about and what we are capable of doing, especially at Ashokan Turf & Timber. Bob discusses how he has to communicate with customers. Too much for one guy. So a discussion on how he HAS to manage things. Very important that all the subscribers pay attention and watch the last half of this video.
AND the video that was the inspiration for the 268 to 372 popup concept..:)
• Husqvarna 372XP with 2...
Yet another great video.
I see Bob get recommended daily on the forums, I can only imagine the amount of questions and emails he gets.
I'm glad you guys are straight shooters and made this video.. only so much time in a day..
I have learned more about Chainsaws and tips on how to make my cutting experience more productive over the last 2 years....thx guys
I for one appreciate both of you for sharing your skill set and hobby. I'm 34 and both my grandads passed away at a early age so their skills and life lessons didn't get passed onto me from life on the farm. So I watch to pick up on things you share, as I consider myself a jack of all trades and master of none.
You are doing us a great service just by showing us the things you do thanks and dont let it spoil your hobbya d fun!
good information thanks
I understand what Bob is trying to say regarding time management between his shop work and online user inquiries.
He should know that within a good channel such as this, we become a community, like distant relatives almost. We understand and appreciate the content enough to try and become self sustaining with questions and answers. Everyone chips in to help, leaving the channel creators to the content. It takes a village to make the the entire community better, one person can not do it alone!
I learn a lot just from watching what you two are willing to film of your hobby time, and I'll be making the occasional comment so you know I'm still around, but I totally get the Time thing! Appreciate what you both put into the channel! atb
I think from my perspective comments are great ways to share, its the phone calls that are tough to work in when its one after another.....:)
Copy that, Walt...enjoy the rest of your week!@@afleetcommand
I'm an addict also and I know I'll never get the money back that I put into this hobby but that's not what I think we're trying to do here. I'm just glad that you guys put all of this information out there for guys like me and you hit so many relevant topics and it's all very helpful... Thank you
Thanks guys
I am so grateful for your channel. it has inspired me to start my own channel and helped me with advice for so many saws.
quote: "as steel sharpens steel so one man sharpens another" glad to be saw college alumni :) thank you guys for everything !!! please keep the how too vids rolling for us fellow saw nuts :)
I love the "salad dressing" comment. I had a Backpack blower that looked like an aquarium full of Jellyfish in the gas tank. I always dump into a clear glass jar just to see what was in there. I push occasional users to buy the canned pre-mixed fuel as they will usually forget what I tell them about old fuel, get home, run the fresh fuel I put in out, then fill up with 3 year old aquarium/salad dressing mix and call me up saying what did you do to my equipment?? Gotta love it.
Right on buddy.
Best advertising for alkylate fuels (ie Aspen motomix etc) is my dealer. He uses Aspen when testing their new equipment before sale. It sits on the shelf until bought. Just like winterizing..!
Use ethanol free fuel with fuel stabilizer if you can't afford Alkylate fuel.
I really appreciate the knowledge you guys have shared. It has sprouted a hobby for me. I can’t thank you enough.
And i like too see these two working and transmiting there knowlege! Good time spent on the channel! And yes another good option for 372 compression! Thanks! And
a hug to both!
Greetings. When I started rebuilding my fathers 254xp that he used professionally in the forestry in Ireland I found this channel and have been hooked ever since. I am now on my 20th build mainly husky and jonsered and this channel has taught me a hell of a lot - so whatever direction you take and whatever content you are willing to make is appreciated. I most certainly won’t be trying to call you as i would consider that an invasion of privacy
a few minutes in i agree totally with you and bob best channel i watch as i love my saws and have watched every single video you have uploaded , you are so good with working on saws i can watch your videos with great info on saws that i can figure out
I always learn so much from you and Bob. You just have to separate work and hobby for a healthy mind. Love the channel, i have started my 350 build after seeing yours built and run. First it was interesting, then in my hobby time every minute was working on the saw, trying to make it run stronger end better. Dos not matter if it breaks, its a hobby, and AM parts are cheap as ... BUT it let me regenerate, recreate, and is FUN. Anyway a great THANK YOU! For the both of you
Thanks for the video. I've been in Bob's store many time and just about ever time there are multiple people in there.
love watching your channel from ireland
Just like in guns - 95% of the problems with saws (or guns) is poor or improper maintenance. This is why I clean, sharpen and refuel a saw after each use. I clean and sharpen them to the best of my ability. I don’t think, I know they will crank,run and cut the next time I want to use them. You cannot stress enough the benefits of maintenance.
Love the channel keep up the great content coming… Wonder if you would consider doing a Q&A video?
Beautiful show. Love seeing you 2 doing things,,
I was watching Bob on one of your videos on my big svreeen tv, yesterday, and he was using an old 041. He seemed like he was enjoying using it because he did not just crank it up, run it for a few minutes and put it down. I have never used an 041 but can just image how it was running after years of sitting up in more or less storage condition. Yesterday was a nice day, here, so I decided to run my 361 and 361 for a little bit. I undid them from my cable lock system and grabbed what I thought was the 360without looking. Instead I got my 391, which has been in storage for about a year. It took a couple of pulls for me to figure out the mistake and see the model number on the side of the scabbard. I quickly put it back on the shelf and grabbed the 360. Both saws ran perfectly, especially the 361. I will crank up the 391 in the New Year, but not, yesterday.
Great info thanks for sharing. William Crooks
It's called fun day. Work!!!! No!!!! Fun day. I do fun day all the time climbing dropping trees. My business. Love it. Just another day playing around.
hey guys just do what you do.life needs to come 1st and the majority will respect that and if they can't it,s there problem. always enjoy the content fellers .look forward to the next ons,s
Good to see you two BSing. Don’t blame you one bit for pumping the brakes on E-favors Bob.
Good job guys !!!! Keep the videos coming !!
Fill bad for even bothering the guy after all the work I see he has
Thank you
I can definitely relate to the time issue, I work a 40hr a week job plus overtime which is closing in on 800hrs YES 800hrs This Year just overtime , not much time left for anything else.
I have been waiting for you to do a 268 popup!
what about 272 piston in a 372 big bore is the 272 piston taller from the pin up .I don't like the 272 piston but I do like the 1 ring 372 bb piston its wider so you can port wider intake and ex
Worth a look right?
I’m thinking of trying a 380 piston in the bb. That sucker is huge both above and below the pin - as you say seems much easier to cut piston down than cylinder? Will let you know how I get on.
What I like about your videos Walt is that your hobby of documenting your hobby shares your experience so fellas like me can learn to fix and improve our saws so we don’t have to send them to you to fix!
We understand you guys are very busy. you guys do good work. It’s too bad the business can’t grow due to the volume of work, and requests from the phone and online world generated by this forum, but who knows what tomorrow may bring! All the best
Sam
I guess if growth was the goal it could, but not at this point in life for either one of us. Just not a direction we are going. :) Having fun and sharing on the channel is right now a focus. But for those who follow the channel and in particular Spike60's commentary on dealers....there is a template for success if folks are open to understanding what they are seeing.
I love older Husqvarna saw i have a 268 i would like to tweek it
Hey Walt where do you get your XPW cylinders from I had a 372xpw that belong to my father and somebody stole it and I'm trying to build it again I got it back but they took the piston and cylinder off in it
They are NLA as most have been sold out, Husqvarna is dropping them :( So will have to settle for a 50mm jug, they are awesome with a little more RPM's
can you jb weld epoxy that stripped out bolt hole. drill it back out and tap it?
Tis the season...
I do fishing diving too . Too hard hehe.👍
What is the name of Bob's shop?
It WAS Ashokan Turf & Timber. He retired last year and it is no more :(
Hyway now offers pop up pistons in 48 50 and 52mm for the 365/372 platform. They also have a 52mm pop up for the 272. They are only on their website thats easy peezy way to increase compression for not much money
See the 52mm version but no place is selling the 50mm popup I see on eBay or HLSupply. Post a link
@@afleetcommand www.hywayparts.com/product-p/pk000081-p.htm
They have pop ups 50mm available for 372 and for 268
K, ordered a couple and some other stuff. We will see how they last, also have a 52mm top end with a popup on the way.
afleetcommand cool glad i could help. I enjoy the channel.
Walt, any plans for the next GTG? I'm in Ct and would love to make the trip up there to run some saws and talk some tech.
Hoping there will be a time slot between winter and time to put up the building because the frost is out of the ground to do something. Once I can start digging its all over as I have to build roughly 2000ft of road, utility trench, and a couple of pads. Going to be tough to play much this year.
What's wrong with my
Newman's Own PreMix?
Not OEM recommended?
Not a thing! Just needs to be on the right kind of salad..:)
Hire some more people take their money
Why? Time to enjoy life a bit I think vs. make "more" when it's no longer needed. :)
@@afleetcommand Love the channel hey I’m looking for an MS 361 something rebuild a bowl if you could help me with that would be great
How about get someone to run the shop for 2 day then!!! Yous can have play time doing wood.i do!!! Heha
Bob, when are you going to let us buy parts from you again? We need you in our life....lol
Only over the counter, he has to not do mail or phone related parts. :( But that's where he needs to be.
afleetcommand called Bob about year and half ago he said he didn't do parts shipped anymore didn't take it personally I get it got parts elsewhere but still tell anyone who wants a saw to buy from him
@@afleetcommand I understand. I am thankful he will is welling to sell saws. I'm saving all my pennies for a 395 :)
