- A discussion relative to cost and issues typical with junk pile saws...and SOME work around's,
This really is a conversation about the concept of finding a logger or dealer where you can get a pile of worn out OEM pro level saws and boil them into running saws for your self and selling some to pay for the build effort....actually end up with way better saws than Aftermarket for more elbow grease but much less money over the duration of the project. AN alternative to kit saw for those with the sources of saws and skills to completely rebuild them. NOT for everyone. First not everyone has loggers to ping off of and a good parts supply. AND not everyone has a location along with tools and skills to do this level of rebuilding. AND kit saw are cheap and clean..:) Clean being a huge plus...:))
Another point is selling a rebuilt OEM saw lets you sleep better. The quality of the parts is there and a OEM saw is in fact an easier sale to make. ANY time you ha e AM parts in a saw, first you HAVE to let a potential customer know that if your have any integrity at all. And AM parts will most certainly effect the resale of a saw. For your own personal saw? That's a different story, you can ethically do what ever trips your trigger...as you are the person running it. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
the biggest trick to saving $$ on these saws is to get them cheap and relatively complete. nice job guys
I want Bob's hoodie!🤣
Nice to see a couple of friends enjoying a hobby and fellowship together
Great to see Bob in the videos. Awesome build.
$900 for all 3 saws with 20" bars and full chisel skip tooth chains. sold! my wife cant wait! this sequence of videos [385-390] has been awesome.
Great video! Did not know whether to look left or right. And your point is made, now the only thing to do is find yourself the three dead saws...
To add to a previous comment, I too have done some plastic welding with great success using a flat tip on the soldering iron and found that old zip-ties make excellent filler rod when the surface is too thin and needs a little more to it. Great vid!
Looking forward to seeing all of these saws run.
Nice to see ya working together. Cheers guys.
great video , i have a lot of the same saws you work on so constantly on watching all your videos , a lot of days i,m gutted when a new video is not aired lol
Your lucky to find these , I get a red 2186 cheap and ugly , did what it had to do and now it's a very fine saw ;)
Enjoyed it.
Good stuff.
Trick I learned long ago: Take a copper soldering iron tip or heavy copper wire or brass rod and hammer it flat...makes the plastic repair much easier and stronger by not grooving the seam.
Good Show!! Guys
here's lunch! yes!
I've "welded" plastic the same way. I've used plastic forks as "Filler" rod. I bet you could cut up an old gas tank into thin strips so color would match.
I see you hang up your weedeaters by their cutting head. my thoughts, exactly, because it allows the grease from the cutting head to get on the shift. hanging them up by their motor will keep any grease from getting on the shift. my 128L husky always hangs by its cutting head and I use EP2, synthetic grease for the head, which is the same grease I used to use on my 25 year old FS-76, Stihl.
its worth it fixing up old saws and its fun building them
If you have the skills yes. AND a good parts source. Skills also includes an understanding of what really needs to be replaced and when.
ALSO depends on the state of the said saw...some are beyond repair..:)
great video thank you man, hey just wondering my old mcculloch 10-10 is pinching in the wood its sharp and sharpened it and used a raker guage and it has oil have you ever came across this or maybe have a videos of it?
the tension over oem vs huztl in there you can cut it with a knife lmao. *scratches chin* "you know a huztl gas tank is like four dollars right?"
Q-bond works pretty good for plastic repair...
I have an older 285 CD and I was wondering if the CD stands for capacitor discharge or something else ,I've had this saw for a long time and could never get an answer and figured you would probably know if anyone would .thank you, Rich from western Pa.
i need one of those saws 385XP
Hey are these flex hones worth the money ? I need to salvage cylinders from saws that aren't available such as a 2100xp etc
Yes, while they can only deal with cylinders where the plating in the bore hasn't been compromised, ( no gouges into or flaking off of the plating) they can save hours of time on "scratched" cylinders.
How can I get ahold of Bob? looking for a 2150 top cover and chain brake handle. possibly more. thank you great videos by the way enjoy them all.
Curious about the process on the cylinder... hone them and oil to prep for use with no wash off in between or was it skipped in the video?
it was cleaned..
Adjusting a high an low adjustment screws on a poulin wild thing chainsaw
well did you sell the saw??
You are lucky that original cylinder and piston are that cheap over there. Here in The Netherlands a net set for a 385 is 381 euro (400+ Dollar) 160 dollar is much more viable to buy a new set over using after marked set.
Thanks for the video guys, what is the correct name of that tool Bob used to punch a hole in the fuel line please?
i have struggled with these sometimes, you made it look easy.
i am going to try that way.
No idea, that is a shop tool for putting spark plug "springs" on the plug wires. He got me one as well through Husqvarna.
Hi Walt nice video, I have a question about all your dead and used saws. Do you buy them or do people give them to you? I have looked on ebay for parts saws and they are to expensive to rebuild and pay the shipping. Just curious.
Before I started doing repairs, I would go to dealers and ask...especially the ones that have been around a while. Most had junk piles. Now they just land in the shop...sometimes I don't even know who dropped them in the milk house (where I have folks leave and pick up saws when we aren't on a compatible schedule
Thanks for the answer Walt. Have a good evening
just picked up a genuine 070 for $350 is that about avg price they sell for? wish i knew how to find out what year this thing was made...
Really not familiar with the 070's
Hi I live in Canada. I have a 455 rancher , I love those Forester bars you use. Where do you order yours from , thanks
Ahlbourns. I have an account
At 5:53....is that a dig bob? ya gonna have to try harder hehe :)
Matthew Olson if the nut fits, wear it?☺
may be a silly question, but what is the purpose of the orange stripe down the center of the work lift?
We were and actually did have a little joke going but I cut it out of the video...:) funny some one noticed..:)
Do you have a buyer for the $300 saw?
Want to run it, debug it before it goes anywhere. It HAS to throw some serious chips in a video before its job is complete..:)
nkcwilliams I have been bugging him about it for weeks and you just got more out of him than I've been able to! He must like you better or be mad at me😞 I feel like a red headed step child😉. ✌💜😀
Wondering the same.
Where is bob???
oh idk man its 2020 a sheet of plywood is $50...
did ya end up selling this saw?
not yet...soon maybe. doing hay now
Ah kool, where you going to end up listing it I'd you do?
Great video guys! Need you guys as business partners...can I get your shop # please?
Neither one of you would make it as flat rate mechanics😀
