Very proud of you okiewoodsman Jr. Mr Joe that was a great build. Those are great skills for jr to have. Thank you for teaching him. Looking forward to seeing that saw in action. I have never seen a worm gear shread like that crazy. New oiler and gear should do nicely for that saw.
I appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. It was sure good to do the work. I always think I am going to get to this sort of stuff but life gets in the way. All of a sudden, months and years have suddenly passed. He really wants to get into the Husqvarna saws now. Thank you again!
He sure did well. He loves tools. In fact, this boy is fairly hyper and bounces about his life but put some tools in his hands and the whole world calms down. Thank you friend
Great video! Some of my fondest memories are of fixing farm equipment with my Dad. Awesome job of teaching- bonus is that the saw runs again! Thanks for sharing your experiences.
That is so neat that this video took you and other back in time for a bit. I sure hope my son remembers and appreciates in time. Pretty cool it is down in footage as well. Thank you again!
Nice job, Joe. Always rewarding to do major repairs affordably! If you do many rebuilds, a cheap benchtop press from vevor is great for bearings. Another way I've done it is to throw the crank in the oven and the bearings in the freezer for a bit. I've not done much with chainsaw rebuilds, but I couldn't count the 2 stroke dirt bike engines I've done. Lol Great to see Jr. out there getting into it too! Best part! 👊
Thank you Lucas. I did not know you had so much experience with the mechanical aspect of all this stuff. Makes sense because you have a very nice and complete shop setup and you do a great job building things. Thank you for the tips. I really should have probably gone and researched it a bit before jumping in. If I started watching videos I woulda likely lost OW jr there! hahaha. Always appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment. Be well this weekend!
So I’m gonna start by saying I love traverse creek but they definitely are not oem quality like Meteor is. I’ve had a few issues with their piston/cylinder kits and their bearings, great for their price point but that’s about it. The other thing is the plastic raced bearings is they are not bad, in fact they are significantly better in almost every way especially since you can have a bearing failure with them and it won’t wipe out your top end like a steel raced bearing would. They also are heat resistant and the only reason that on failed is how hot it got from straight gas, I’ve never had one fail in a way that a steel raced bearing wouldn’t, they are more than adequate for chainsaws. Congratulations on that rebuild, always a great feeling when you resurrect a saw
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have always heard the plastic/nylon race is a bad thing. Especially when it comes down tot he 5 series saws. Could that just be blown out of proportion? It also makes sense that if/when they fail, less internal damage can occur due to the bits being far less abrasive. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and then comment a valuable comment like this. Appreciate the help because I love learning from all of you that know way more than I do.
@@oakiewoodsman I’d say the we’re definitely having issues but did get blown out of proportion, part of the issue is people were just holding them pinned and with how high reving they had some issues. In all honesty so many other saws have the plastic caged bearings that they really aren’t as bad as people think
Awesome video an I ordered some things from traverse creek for my 620p an 501p an man quick shipping an good parts I'll definitely be dealing with them again an im glad to see your boy wanting to do these kind of things
They are surely good to deal with so far for me. I certainly check with them as I am shopping for my chainsaw needs. They have 75% of what I am looking for most of the time. Thank you for sharing and safe cutting!
Well, that is sure appreciated that you took the time to watch and come back. That means a tremendous amount to me. It is a longer video for sure and we sure had a good time doing it! Thank you again for your time and your comment!
I bought dogs similar to that for several of my saws. I found they had two sizes and both are larger than the stock ones but I do prefer the smaller of the two larger sized options.
Awesome project Jr and Joe👍🏻 I could feel the excitement and accomplishment through the screen! Tho those went on easily, a future tip for installing crank bearings is put the crank in the freezer and heat the bearings with a heat gun or hot plate, then quickly slide the bearings on. They'll slide right into place, and once the temperatures equalize, they'll be locked into place.
I will need to do this for sure in the future. If I remember correctly, I have seen Afleet command do something like that. Sometimes I just get in a hurry and sometimes it does't work out right. Hahaha... glad you like the compressor. I recently purchased a blower that can handle 150PSI. That is very nice to have the air cranked up like that for sure. This thing is quick to fill. I have run a ton of stuff off of it. Framing Nailers and sorts of things. Thank you AP
OWJ was waiting patiently to tear down this saw with dad, and what a great project. The confidence you are building in your boy will follow him through his life.❤
Thank you Kenny! He sue had some fun with this. Was a long day in the shed and I am sure glad we went and grabbed the box fan. We are gonna need it with the future projects coming up!
Interesting! I did not think about that. I ran the saw today and am curios about a few things. I may have to tear back into it. I certainly was hoping that would not be the case but it may be. Footage coming CF. Thank you so much for being here as always.
i agree! I did not have this sort of life growing up and they are learning so much by being out here. I am glad to have some knowledge and tools to be able to do this sort of stuff. Thank you again!
Great episode my new friend. Family man, thrifty, good how-to, easy instructions - love it, I like it! I appreciate you and how you operate. I look forward to having you on my podcast soon. Keep cuttin'!
I will have to check that out. Honestly, I didn't even noticed and even more honestly, I am not sure I am familiar with it. Thank you for watching and being here!
Those dogs i use on a few saws but depending on your wood the AM 5 point dogs will jam sometimes with thick bark wood like cottonwood as example. I have used alot more AM bearings then oem but if I'm building a saw thats going into regular arborist work then i use oem seals and bearings for piece of mind. But ya amazon I'd cautious unless can its same product from a reputable parts place, duke's new chain is sounding good, i have a previous version of his chain and its been good. Suspect its oregon who makes it based off opinions of others folks, but the stuff i have i have used Oregon prestraps and straps to modify it. Great video
Thank you @ChippyOutdoors. I appreciate you sharing this information. This is new to me for sure and I am positive there will be a learning curve here. I have run the saw and a strange issue has come up. I have it on film so I will be posting about it hopefully soon. I am having trouble staying caught up for sure. Between work, YT work and editing, I am finding myself short on hours. Thank you again for sharing your experiences.
@oakiewoodsman oh man I know all about the editting ..... alot of my videos now have 1 or 2 different camera angles some of my older stuff used to run upto 3 cameras takes me weeks to edit now the issue is trying to find to edit anything in a reasonable time now a days
@@oakiewoodsman Kinemaster on my phone, my desktop doesn't like running editting software and plus the flexibility to edit on the go or when I have a few free minutes is nice
Very good! Lots of people do it!. It takes quite a machine to be able to edit 4k footage. Phones are really quite incredible. Many also use an iPad. Thank you again
Amazingly Video!! Well done!! Super cool father son time, rebuilding a saw and hearing it start up for the 1st is a great feeling of accomplishment. Why did you have to remove the bar stud? When tightening a clutch a good way is to rev hit the chain break a few times.
Thank you Mark! The engine is held into the frame by that one bar stud. Learned it for Super Dave. He has an excellent tutorial tearing this saw down. I will have a video coming out shortly where I show some issues with the 390 and I am hoping as an audience, we can fix it! Thank you buddy!
Hahaha.... First time I have ever got into a saw this far. Was a good experience but I think I have some kinks to work out. Thank you for watching and sharing
That's a great video, I'm very impressed by your son, I remember when I was that age, I loved motors, was always over at the neighbors, he had go-carts and mini bikes he was always working on, I was over there a lot. Sure wish I had you tube back then, sure would have advanced my skills faster...LOL
I thank you for sharing your memories. I had some similar experiences myself with some neighbors and family friends. I totally understand what you mean about TH-cam! It is so incredible to have all this information at our fingertips. I love the TH-cam community for sure. Thank you again!

I have never seen a worm gear shread like that crazy. New oiler and gear should do nicely for that saw.
The new oiler works very well. I have a few kinks to work out in the saw. Probably some errors on my part.... but we will see!
Very cool buddy ! Love seeing you and your son making memories ❤
Thank you Tom! Good learning experience for sure. We may have created a monster!
@@oakiewoodsman 🤣
Oakie Woodsman Jr had good questions and was truly interested in this project. The amazed face that it started was great. Really good information.
He loves this stuff! Thanks for watching!
Well done work together a memory he will never forget
I think he wants to get some more tools in his hands friend. Thank you again!
That's awesome Okie! Good to see you tearing into that saw with your boy.
Thank you sir! Great to see ya here buddy. I hope you are doing well down south.
Hey!
Thanks!
Thank you!

Thank you much. Have a couple kinks to work out for sure with this saw. Thanks for watching
@@oakiewoodsman I have faith it will work out just fine. 👌🏻
I'm impressed! Your assistant was excellent, too! Well done! It's nice to know a ruined saw can be rebuilt without investing a lot of money.
He sure did well. He loves tools. In fact, this boy is fairly hyper and bounces about his life but put some tools in his hands and the whole world calms down. Thank you friend

I liked your project to begin with but when you and your boy tore into it together I subscribed.
Good times 👍🏼
