Thank you. They sold a ton of the little Frontier saws over the years, and a lot of them were used by arborists and pulpwood cutters and were simply used up. After Electrolux took them over, they sold them for a while then phased them out and didn't supply parts for them shortly thereafter. Kinda rare to see one still operating today.
That little foldable table I have , is extremely handy. I use it when cutting kindling, a portable tool rack for when I am working out in the woods and don't want to leave my tools on the ground, use it to put my camp stove or lanterns on when out in the outback etc., etc.
Sweet little saw! I got a pro Mac 610 given to me at Tazapolusa. I've quickly found out that Macs aren't the most fun to work on! Not simple like Stihl or Husky! Should be good when done though!
I have always thought the Mac 610's were easy to work on compared to most other saws of the same era that I have worked on. My experience with old Husky's and Stihls, I found them to be overly complicated and clunky. Now my Stihl 025, 031 and 034 are very easy to work on by comparison. My Mac Mini Mac's are terrible to work on. It will be interesting to see what you think of the Mac 610 when you have it in the wood.
My go-to chainsaw is my Stihl 021. It will flat cut most anything that falls down in my yard. I rebuilt it several years ago. It has an 18” .325 Stihl bar and chain. It is about 30 years old. If I need something bigger I can grab my .stihl 024 or 025. They are decked out identical to the 021 but have bigger engines. After that, you get into my Pro sized Stihl saws but the are bigger and more cumbersome to work with. I tailor my saw use on what I have to cut and a 16-18” bar will easily handle a 12” tree or limb. I cut up a 13” oak limb that fell into my daughter’s yard with a MS 180 Stihl a few years ago and it lasted a 16” 3/8LP chain. I cut down a 12” wild cherry for her last year with my 021. It mowed right through that tree - face cut, back cut and it was on the ground. I cleaned it up with the 021 and cut it into nice firewood for her.
Small saws can do most jobs on the homestead, and I like to use a variety of them, as I have a good selection of them. Most of the tree work I do is split about 50/40 between small and medium trees. The small stuff usually gets the small saws and the midsized trees get cut up with 50 to 60cc saws in most instances. I enjoy running a variety of my saws, even those that are not as good as others, but they get the job done and gives me fodder for my video's.
Picked up an Oleomac 261 saw from the tip shop last week , all there & turning over . . never heard of the like , thought at first due to dirt it said Olev Mac . . I thought holy hell it was some obscure eastern bloc saw , vintage Italian it turned out
I have been working on my HVAC this week. It was 103 degrees here at 6:00 PM, yesterday. No rain for weeks, so I have been watering a lot, too. You guys in the PNW don’t have to worry about these extremes to much. I cleaned my AC’s condenser and had to replace the thermostat, too. I still have to replace the start capacitor. It is too hot to run saws and to dry to even mow grass. Stay cool. You can’t do it, here, outside.
We had a mini heat wave here in the PNW of 3 days. Got into the mid eighties, but with the high humidity, it feels a lot hotter. The weather is now back down to the mid sixties, so I can mow and do some light sawing and other outdoor work.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 it was 100+ here, again, yesterday afternoon. I had to repair the rail on our front porch steps. I repaired it, caulked it, sanded it, and painted it. The paint was dry before I finished painting it. It was 98 at the time.. combine that with 70% RH and it was hot. I spent the morning watering the front yard, so I would have some grass to cut when it finally rains.
I had a Mini P Partner version years ago,good little ripper for its size and presently have the Husky 35 version and like yours a Frontier F35 Mark IV (Nameplates scarred up)lol
I have five of those little guys! A Jonsered M36, three Skilsaw 1612, and one Skilsaw type 2. Would like to get my hands on a blue darnam . One of the baddest little chainsaws i have is a Montgomery wards butterscotch colored Featherlite with a decompression valve on it! 😉

Your TV table/ saw holder is a great idea while using the saw buck . Thanks for the idea, Mr. O !

That's a cool and awesome little saw
It is a great little vintage saw.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 that it is. It seems to do really good
The Frontier isa very good and useful small top handle saw for sure !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 right.

Cool little saw
The Frontier saws are nifty little powerhouses !
Cool little saw! It’s really nice to have a saw you can handle with one hand sometimes. Thank you sir!
These small top handle saws are great for small tree work, kindling cutting and small firewood. Veru useful.
Your Mini Chainsaw cut right through that pretty powerful THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO
Frontier chainsaws were very good small chainsaws. They were better than most small chainsaws of the same era.

I have heard of Oleo Mac saws, but have never seen one. An unusual find for sure.

that little thing has good cuting speed for 34cc they dont make them like they used to

The Frontiers were sold with more different brand labels on them than any other small saw I have ever run into. Great little rascals !

Wow ! Nice collection.
Frontier, well thats a new 1. And l dont have 1 of that brand either.
The Frontier saws were big sellers, but rarely seen today.
That looks a lot like my little Skill Saw, are they the same?
Other than the paint color and decal, they are the same saw.
😀😊😀👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching.
