A commonly overlooked wear item ... .010-.020 wear is about right to replace. A Worn out sprocket will do a number on the whole drive system , causing excessive wear/ damage to bar/chain and because the pitch is now different, undue pressure/strain on clutch / engine
That happened to me too, Buckin' (at around 19:10 into the video), but in my case it was lack of bar oil. The channels where clogged up, from palm fiber...
I had the same thing happen to me a while back ! Couldn't figure out why a brand new chain just wasn't working til I figured out my sprocket was wore and it was mushrooming the back side of the drivers!
I bought one of the .50 gauge 32in husky lite weight soon as they realised the knew ones and I love it run it on my 372xp and 385xp and 395xp all and love it still looks knew after good use holds up good I know the 36in where .63 gauge only the new husky lite weights the other where sizes where .50 gauge so might double check everything i even use the same chain on my bar same oregon chain and works amazing no complaints love the channel and content you really have made a difference in my life now I have gotten out of doing heroin and finally got clean 4 years now from watching you channel helped me down the road of recovery and now I'm clean my son back that's 5 years old and know have a huge collection of power saws my favorite I have I my poulan pro 455 and p60 pioneer 😁
Hello Buckin, I metal detect alot and in the winter ( not snake season) I go detecting back in the cypress swamps here in south eastern North Carolina. Once in a while I find an axe head or two. One I found is a double bit that has been folded over and forge welded over the split/broken socket that held the handle. ( if you put a wet axe outside and it freezes, the handle can split the socket it rested in. The ice expands in the wet wood and the steel/iron can not hold such expansion). The repair must have been made in desperate times by a good blacksmith. I will set up my electrolysis tank and clean it up along with another single bit I found near there. The old cypress stumps still show the kerfs where the hoppin boards were set to stand on while sawing with the big old crosscut saws. The buttress of these old stumps can be huge. the hoppin boards got the jack above the width of the buttress. If the axe cleans up nicely, I will box it up and send it to ya. Smiling, George.
@@ericriddle467 Thanks, I wear kevlar waist high chaps just in case one of those coils takes a swing at me. We have eastern diamond backs, timber rattlers, cane breaks and cottonmouths and copperheads. I have a pair of hip waders that I patched, a rattler hit me hard on the shin, but his fangs never reached far enough through the boot to get me. I look forward to cold weather so I can detect in less stress. I enjoy the old axe heads when I find them. I wonder what hard lives the men that used them lived. I will check in once in a while when I find an axe head or related tool. Smiling, George.
I have planted some Bald Cypress up in upstate New York and they grow quick, but they will never go to seed and reproduce up here at the limits of their growing zone. They aren't naturalized here. When axe handles or splitting maul handles get wet and or freeze, it will also sometimes crush the wood cells and shrink when dry. I don't let my handles get wet if I can help it, and in more recent years I'll cover the end with epoxy.
@@richtomlinson7090 when I was a kid, Dad would stand the axe up in an old bucket with boiled linseed oil in the bottom... Seems like that kept em swelled tight and waterproof. Seems like they didn't get rust either... Of course, rust and calluses rarely visit the same tool.
@@trimbaker1893 yes good idea, any of the oils or finishes that soak in and harden through polymerization, like boiled linseed oil or tung oil. It also helps to store them off the wet ground. But I could see how freezing a soaked handle could split a slim axe head at the cheeks, the heavy heads like hammers and mauls just crush the wood cells.
1. That concrete saw needs to be kick started. I followed that build. Shipping to you made good time. I cranked up the volume. Ironhorse posted a vid of dirt bikes. His saw sound so close to what those vintage dirt bikes sound like. You need to run her a little more and more. Every day is xmast and every night is thanksgiving for me since I was 27 years old. I am 61 I love coming hear.I posted a pair of 394s at the deerfield fair milling NH Bull pine.
You spooled up 063 chain for a husky mount Sugi bar. The tip caters for 058 & 063 but the guide rails should be 058. If its a Stihl mount it could be 063. Check the numbers near the mount not what's written on the tip because they use they same tip for 2 gauges.
According to Husqvarna Canada, the 32" only comes in .050 & .063, there is no .058. Seems pretty odd but that's what's listed. They have the .063 as listed for the 592xp so maybe it's to compete with Stihl guys so the chains are interchangeable?
I love the look of those xtough lite bars! I wish they made them small enough to fit on my Husqvarna 550XP in a 18 or 20" 😂 someday hopefully they will
hi just watched you with the chain binding in the bar . i had similar a week ago and decided the cause was new chain and new bar both at their new tolerances so the bar groove was small as it ever will be and the drive link the biggest it will be add some temp and there is an interference fit I increased the bar oil and free ran it to lap it in it worked great when i went back to the timber no temp marks on the bar cheers from Australia
Oh boy Buckin she's gonna be a ripper. Wondering if there was a hard burr inside the rail from the oiler hole or if the tip wasn't lined up right. Just some things for people to check. Looking forward to seeing what you figured out with. It. Love ya brother thank you Buckin. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Johnny the man is beside himself. Thank you Johnny. You made the mans day. Not sure on the chain setup. Will leave that one to the men that make a living with the saws. Iron horse built one heck of a saw brother. That thing rips. God bless you sr and everyone be kind and help someone today. Oh ya I just became a grandparent for the tenth time. Brand new baby boy. Is a great grandson. I think he is a keeper.
Oregon timber faller here... Love the sugi haras being they are lighter but still nice and rigid. And those new husky bars are essentially a sugi bar but i have had huge problems breaking those sugis right where you said they break. Have a couple in the garage broke 3 inches up from the dogs at only a couple months old each. Have not tried the new husky bar yet but I might need to give one a try I guess.
You do exactly the same thing I used to, grind those drive teeth, save the chain, have seen people throw a chain away, check your sprocket and make necessary repairs. Good day my friend
Hen I got my ms660 ,it was recommended I get the lite bar. Only because I never used one that big before. WOW , love the lite series bars now. Game changer for sure.
Listing is key to understanding things, I run a couple Woodmizer Saw mills and it's the same thing as running your power head, she's talking, just need to listen 😂lol Keep safe and love ya's,!
I love your channel and want to talk saws and axes but I just can’t because I am so excited you had a Cucuzza squash! We always pronounced it guh-gootz! Hope it was good!
Hi Billy, i dig your channel. You have taught me a lot about felling trees, enough to keep me alive (in fact completely unharmed so far). I have a Husq. 455 Rancher and any time it throws the chain the drive sprocket wil chew up several drive teeth. This is a difficult problem to fix in the field, requires stretching the chain and filing the drive teeth at the same time. Usually its better to just put a different chain on and fix the other at home on the vice. Anyway, rock on!
At 18:45 I was convinced I saw some sparks fly from the top of the chain close to the power head. Initially I thought it was your cosmic energy channeling into the saw itself 💪💪💪. Did anyone else see that? I love how you take us on the journey, even when things turn out unexpectedly! Love you all...❤️❤️❤️ Lieutenant Bradley
I had the same thing happen to my saw. Had some custom chains made for my Oregon 32" bar on my husky 572. The chains were #73 also. Exact same chain as you have Billy.
i had the same drivers problem with my 572 XP 24" bar. 10 minutes after using it for the first time... same i had to file the drivers by hand. greating from france ;-)
Did the same thing with a new Stihl OE bar and chain. I think it was chain stretch and wear in on the new bar. Swapped the chain re-tension and no problems afterward…
@@RI-td3gv They prolly know the Japanese make the best... Japanese tools are the cream of the crop. I own quite a few, and the quality and craftsmanship put into them is on another level. I haven't looked at a sugihara bar yet, but I'd bet they're grade AAA , in fact, I'm going track me one down, or the rebranded Husky version.
About a month ago I bought the same bar. I put a fresh CJ105 straight out of the box on and had the same experience. I threw an old bar on and it ran beautiful. Looking closely at the bar I found burnt lacquer in the groove. A few q-tips and acetone later and the bar has worked great. Heavy as a brick compared to my Sugi but a very rugged smooth running bar. Just my experience, others may vary.
Billy I had that happen when I ran a .375 chain on a .325 sprocket. The miss match bent all the drive links over. I was repairing a used saw and the saw should of had a .375 sprocket on it as built.
It's almost like there was a mismatch between the chain pitch and sprocket pitch. Like trying to run .375 chain with a .404 sprocket, or even a .325 sprocket. That'd do it!! Blessings Buckin. Other than that, maybe that chain was way too tight to behin with. That thing looked like a banjo string. Then you said the Oregon chain doesn't stretch. That's personally what I think happened.
I agree. Happend to me also , when I threw a chain and the chain catcher grabbed it. Being not in a possession of a belt grinder I had to fix it with a file ;-) Worn or damaged sprocket can also cause this.
Exactly the same thing happened to me, drive sprocket was a .325 and the nose sprocket was for a .375 (3/8") it burred up the chain drive links. I had asked on a. chainsaw forum and no one came up with a correct answer, had to figure it out for myself, after finding that the the saws came with two different pitch sizes.
@@lennie8098 If I was there on the forum, I think I could have helped! Too late now!! LOLA! I'm glad you got it figured out my friend. Clutch sprocket, bar sprocket, and chain all gotta be the same pitch. Take care.
I just got my first ever personal saw, a 372xp with an x-tough light bar too and had this exact problem. But I only cut one round and then stopped cause it was sounding slow and bogging down a bit and I was wondering why it was so tight and getting stuck just like yours. I haven’t investigated it though like you so tomorrow I’m going to check that out.
It happen to me too at a job site it got caught to the point the chain did not spin at all and it got stuck to bar like it was glue to it I had to use a flat head screw drive to pull it apart i had to do it all around the chain so I can pull it off the bar couldn’t figure it out till now thanks bucking
I had a similar thing happen with a cheap bar, it filled up the groove with sawdust on the first use and jammed, I cleaned it out and it was ok after that.
Now that I think about it, this may have happened before I replaced the worn sprocket on my Stihl 066 magnum that I bought used. It has given me a lot of good use milling wide slabs, but now I think the coil wire is going south. It's about 30 years old.
Man Buckin you guys sure are doing good on your current fuel prices. Regular in Michigan is about $3.39 your getting the good stuff for like $1.44 if my math is correct.
that saw sounds so good. maybe that bar did not get so mutch oil in the beginning and did get too hot.a did have similar problem with my new husky saw and was wondering what was the problem.not bad ide but some oil in the bar when its new and first run with it.cool axe heads.
Im no expert but when you fitted the chain it looked really tight, it may have had something to do with it, if thats your only problem you are a lucky man, im lucky if i can keep my saw going for 10 mins, if its not the saw its the chain, theres always something, with your saws they run great, just got a 372xp and just need to look at the low screw and the revs drop, i would send it to ironhorse for a port like yours if i were a bit closer, anyway i think im now addicted to powersaws bc of you Buckin ha ha, keep up the good vids
The issue was his drive link tips got mangled and created a drag in the bar. Over tightening will indeed slow the saw down; but as the saw and chain heat up, the chain is consequently stretched faster. In other words, it would have loosened up if it was merely over tightening.
The 28 inch forester platinum on my 272xp is heavy like that does a nose dive lol, I bough an 24 inch archer bar and chain for my hot rod hisky 350 couple years ago that somehow got burs on every drive link, was a pain to flat file it.. peace and love to our Community and welcome new subscribers:)
Those are good bars , they are made by SugiHara and I’ve ran them for a while. I’ve had one for a long time and hasn’t shown any signs of wear I think I hit the rails one time.
Is oiler putting out enough oil check gap in bar to I had one that done that to me along time ago had one spot finally found it opened it up work like a champ
I use a blue or red marker to mark every 10 drivers.... If you don't want to bolt your breaker or spinner down, bolt a piece of angle on it longways underneath so you can clamp them in a vice. I might bolt both to one piece of angle so they are always together, and just flip it in the vice
Have any of you ever run a bow on your saw ? I found a bow with bout a 36inch chain that my dad used back in the 60s or so. He had an old 60 cc or so Poulan and Homelite that look the same accept the paint. Red homelite and green poulan. If I can remember, he had a black and yellow Mac from sometime in the early 80s. I hope I can find his felling equipment.
Still drinkin a pint then climbin up them trees to do your work...all the power to ya you crazy fck glad to see youre still rippin with all 5 fingers an 3 arms
You be youngster if 94 was good. Grew up with 100 octane, then they got silly, stared using av gas. Great stuff, but you have to have a somewhat regular plug deleading routine. On small engines anyway- my Suzuki loved it straight out of the pump, never even looked at the plugs just ran it. Maybe you can talk to the guys at the airport?

It's all good Billy. You been doing that long enough to know what is going on.
I've had the same issue when the chain flies off the bar and hits the stock chain catch on stihl saws. Teflon rollers help a lot.
I had the same thing happen to me a while back ! Couldn't figure out why a brand new chain just wasn't working til I figured out my sprocket was wore and it was mushrooming the back side of the drivers!
I think it would be neat if you sent all those used chains to a black Smith and had them make you a axe head out of it
Man oh man! That’s a hell of an idea!
Chain Damascus.
I second this motion and move to ratify immediately
Yes!
Now there's an idea! Talk about an axe with a ton of memory and meaning within it!

You know, I thought I saw the same thing. But then I said to myself silly, you're seeing things. Lol
Good catch
Bar oil spraying or sparks, can't tell?
Seen something also..
Yep

Thank you Johnny Holgrem! Wow, that's awesome 👍
Only on BBR’s channel will you find a “quick fix” titled video that 30+ min long. Scratching my head though cause I’m not sure what the quick fix was.
Hey Buckin, that is the same bar as a Sugihara lightweight. Love the channel!
LOL no it's not... husky is different
When you have joyful music in your soul, the whole world becomes your instrument of expression!
Fun Fact: the lightweight Husqvarna bars sold in the USA are rebadged Sugihara. They paint over the plastic cutouts
Yes that’s correct, kinda of a shame that husky didn’t make their own…

Those are made by Sugihara so don't know how its heavier
@@CSkwirl no answers for you there but I'm guessing about 2 lbs difference. At 61 I feel every ounce. 😆
@@CSkwirl they are heavier because they stopped the inserts halfway hence ''tough''
I have an HB maul and it's my favorite maul I've ever used. I think you'll like using it.

Wow look so young and healthy in that photo, reminds me of your son now. I bet you're stronger and wiser now though. Cheers from stateside!

Great Channel always watching.just got new home to us heating is a wood stove we looking forward to the work need a daily user axe. Westkelowna B.C
Sugihara is making the husky bars now. I run a 36 all day and the tips are really sweet
Being a pipe welder, I think I may be able to tig out a decent muffler. The muffler on the old saws I found need to be redone.

It has given me a lot of good use milling wide slabs, but now I think the coil wire is going south.
It's about 30 years old.
That old chevy looked sweet
Another real quality show!
Love to see you tune and make a Danarm 125 Mk2 sing.
Man Buckin you guys sure are doing good on your current fuel prices. Regular in Michigan is about $3.39 your getting the good stuff for like $1.44 if my math is correct.
Good info , have not ran into that problem
Kind of you Johnnie & hello from Australia 🇦🇺
that saw sounds so good. maybe that bar did not get so mutch oil in the beginning and did get too hot.a did have similar problem with my new husky saw and was wondering what was the problem.not bad ide but some oil in the bar when its new and first run with it.cool axe heads.
Im no expert but when you fitted the chain it looked really tight, it may have had something to do with it, if thats your only problem you are a lucky man, im lucky if i can keep my saw going for 10 mins, if its not the saw its the chain, theres always something, with your saws they run great, just got a 372xp and just need to look at the low screw and the revs drop, i would send it to ironhorse for a port like yours if i were a bit closer, anyway i think im now addicted to powersaws bc of you Buckin ha ha, keep up the good vids
The issue was his drive link tips got mangled and created a drag in the bar. Over tightening will indeed slow the saw down; but as the saw and chain heat up, the chain is consequently stretched faster. In other words, it would have loosened up if it was merely over tightening.
That is a mighty nice looking flannel you got on billy, looks like it had a split on the upper back so you can actually move around.......
The 28 inch forester platinum on my 272xp is heavy like that does a nose dive lol, I bough an 24 inch archer bar and chain for my hot rod hisky 350 couple years ago that somehow got burs on every drive link, was a pain to flat file it.. peace and love to our Community and welcome new subscribers:)
Those are good bars , they are made by SugiHara and I’ve ran them for a while. I’ve had one for a long time and hasn’t shown any signs of wear I think I hit the rails one time.
Is oiler putting out enough oil check gap in bar to I had one that done that to me along time ago had one spot finally found it opened it up work like a champ
Hell yeah thanks Johnny!!!
I think my first thought would be to mic the chain dogs and the groove on the bar. Just a thought
Bongo Billy. I love it.
Thank You Johnny H. 💚🌲💚🌲💚🔨
Be kind all✌
I love your McCullock drums haha
I use a blue or red marker to mark every 10 drivers....
If you don't want to bolt your breaker or spinner down, bolt a piece of angle on it longways underneath so you can clamp them in a vice.
I might bolt both to one piece of angle so they are always together, and just flip it in the vice
Try out the lazer or the forester bars they use same tips from the Oregon bars love them
I had that truck at 3:40 I can tell you were up after sunset working on this.
Peace, love and sharp powersaws👍✌👍
Have any of you ever run a bow on your saw ? I found a bow with bout a 36inch chain that my dad used back in the 60s or so. He had an old 60 cc or so Poulan and Homelite that look the same accept the paint. Red homelite and green poulan. If I can remember, he had a black and yellow Mac from sometime in the early 80s. I hope I can find his felling equipment.
when i started using the premix gas have had no trouble with my saws, god bless
I burn 30+ gallons a year in my saws that would get a bit expensive.
"im goin to show wendy that" hahahaha that was great!
Husqvarna bar requires Chain Full chisel, 3/8" pitch, .058 gauge. If your chain is 3/8" pitch, .063 gauge, it won't work.
Still drinkin a pint then climbin up them trees to do your work...all the power to ya you crazy fck glad to see youre still rippin with all 5 fingers an 3 arms
Thank you Buchin
Thanks Johnny!
Hello buckin hey bud when you lifting that gas can out the truck sat it on the bed side gas was running down the can lol.. you need a new can bud
Using that sanding belt was definitely OSHA Approved!
Joking friends
You be youngster if 94 was good. Grew up with 100 octane, then they got silly, stared using av gas. Great stuff, but you have to have a somewhat regular plug deleading routine. On small engines anyway- my Suzuki loved it straight out of the pump, never even looked at the plugs just ran it. Maybe you can talk to the guys at the airport?
As a drummer, I fully appreciate the gas can groove.
One of those bars would look great on my '78 480CD.
