- In this video I'll go over all the little things I do when building a saw that will live in a production environment.
chanding crankseals, Av mounts and fuel lines is a good idea when building a 5 day a week saw.
thanks for watching. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Thank you Tinman. Purchased my first 266se yesterday and to say I’m hooked on the 2 series now is an understatement lol. Thanks for all you do.
I love these saws
Wet bulb conditions require more layers 🥶 when you work on freezers and cooling towers you learn wet bulb dry bulb quickly. I’m from the swamp 😂
@@skidooer583 look it up.! Term we use when we’re talking about something getting cooler or warmer more quickly wile WET
Some great tips there tinman. Sometimes if housing is parallel i have used vice jaws carefully to press brgs in.
Very good video. Good mechanical knowledge. I have the same habits when building anything. Learning to adapt and making your own tools. I would gladly have a saw that you built. Good to see someone who enjoys what they do.👍
Thanks for the video always helpful , DAD !!!!Those (0) rings , anti vibe mounts and crank seals are all available here in Canada at good prices .There's no point in typing the company that has them because every time I do, my post gets deleted from youtube I suppose? So anyways there you go. Cheers
Nice video! Your attention to the finer details was spot on. Take your time, do it right and enjoy the fruits of your efforts.
Thanks for the content Tinman and congratulations on being a father, it's the best! I wanted to say that a maul definitely has it's place in the woodyard for those tough to split wood pieces. As much as I like using a splitting ax, the old maul and some iron wedges come in handy from time
To time. I like a 6lb maul
i'm on the prairie, not a lot of softwood trees. just chunky old elm and ash impossible to split with one swipe. i've spent many hours pounding mushroomed out iron wedges
Late to the party, but excellent content. It's what I need to see. New at working on saws, first project is an 056, then a Husky 61, 576 and a 365. Thanks!
Thank you so much for showing us how to do crank seals. I've been a little apprehensive about doing them because I haven't been that deep into a bottom end before. Now I feel much more confident. Thanks again!
Thank you Tinman for showing the details on a build this is why it takes hours Cheers 👍
Thanks for having us, good work man 👍🏾
Another great and informative video, thanks from down under mate
Hey Tinman, that was top Content.
These Basics are very important for a good Saw. Crank seals could be such freaky Assh…!
When you want a good Saw, you have to look at everything on it. You make a perfect Saw for Hogan that will last.
Waiting for the next Part of this Rebuilt. Thanks for sharing!
I split all my firewood with heavy axes and mauls. The key to splitting this way is how you buck your logs up. Cut short and spit less. And have a solid base to split on. I do it in my garage on an old crane mat.
Bud you and Harv are the reason why I love a 2 series Husqvarna. I'm going to be building a couple here in the future!
Buddy make some videos please I'll watch and share for for sure got a 272 I'm gonna do a vid on needs new a.v. mounts some good cleaning and a few small things hope it turns out like I imagine lol
I’m about to rebuild my 268 want put 272 head an piston so goin to go threw the whole thing bottom to top no point goin top to bottom lol
Gotta love homemade and modified tools👍🏻 if at all possible, I also remove the gasket maker squeeze out from anything I use it on!
I was just in the process of changing fuel hose on my 266/72 the other day and when you where talking about trimming the length so the filter end moved around easier within the tank. I thought to myself that I had better checked mine. Instead of trimming, try reversing the hose!
They make rubber guards that slide onto the ax handle and do almost the same thing as a wrap, we got some at work and I started throwing them on my wedge banger, splitting maul. And some sledge hammers. They're a real life saver if, like me, your accuracy leave something to be desired
Great video, thanks Tinman I am doing a 61, and a 272 right now, I have been a Stihl guy for a long time, now thanks to you and Harvey, Walt. Etc. I now enjoy the Husky’s,I bought out an old saw shop this summer I have like at least 8 of the 2171 Jonsered to play with this winter (Ontario).Hope all are well with the family
Appreciate the video, brother. I'll definitely be giving my 257 a once-over!
I had a 257 years ago. Great saw
thank you for this content. Bought a 266se localy because of your channel. it was quite slow, but with good porting numbers in a 272 cylinder it became a True ripper.
Smashing that like button!! 👍good ol muggy manitoba
thanks about your sharing, really appreciate your channel mate!
It's that time of year when the heat is on at night and air conditioning is on during the day 35 to 40 degree swings😁 for us.
Great video with a ton of great information
Hello , came across your channel by accident looking for parts for a stihl, and up popped a video from TH-cam, I have an 038 Magnum, was in a shop for repairs for over a year, got it back in a thousand pieces , the problem in this country is getting spare parts for this saw , like hens teeth rare , lot of after market on ebay, but OEM out of the question, decided to do the repairs myself, have watched all your 038 videos , I say THANK YOU , have learnt a lot , about assembling the beast , Peter 🇦🇺
Glad I could help Peter
That was great Tinman, very well explained. Do want to see more. Thanks
awesome video tinman .cant wait see her running .peace an love from scotland stu an family.
Great job as allways Tinman you da man.Hope you are all keeping well.All the best to you all.
The 266 looks like it was a well built saw. I guess that’s why they are still out there getting a lot of work done even when they are old.
Tinman you are the man . Asked you a question about my husqvarna 359 and you got right back to me. ..THANKS. THANKS. THANKS. Keep on keeping on man . Cheers
Now that’s a great topic for a video! Nice
Great content. pay attention to the details is key. I learned a few things today
GREAT TIPS buddy,,stay safe timan ,,
I really love these kind of tips and tricks videos, so much knowledge wich are just golden👌 Love all of the other videos too though, have a good one👍
Many thanks from Sweden! I am a happy amateur.. have rebuild a small 242xpg. Have an old 260cd, that starts and run, but requires some love. It will be fun. Great channel !
I'm glad to hear you got a bigger carburator on that 266xp, Because I took a carburator off of my 1320K railroad saw that had a 255 and replaced the stock 224 carburator and did an exaust mod on my Tomos Slavaina Yugoslavia 266XP and I was literally laughing today when the saw got into the power band! I have an awesome arborist around my area that dropped off some big Douglas fir logs in my driveway and it's just about the most fun a 55 year old man could have if you ask me! The saw is a hog slayer! The sound my 266XP has says it all! I don't even have to brag about how badass it is! It speaks for itself and boy does it got alot too say! I love the sound of a Husqvarna, So I figured I'd better get a couple more Husqvarna chainsaws and was fortunate enough to introduce two more two my chainsaw collection. I got ahold of a 61 300th anniversary edition and a 1974 L65 and just an exaust mod on the L65 and I am impressed with that thing for a 1974! And I hear nothing but stihl coming from every guy I talk to these days I like to tell them that they're is other brands besides a stihl and I have two Sachs-Dolmar super 120 and my 266XP that I think are just as good if not better than a stihl! 🤩
Why not 3 so Caleb can juggle em?
Seriously though, the devil is in the details, and this is an excellent vid on eliminating variables when working on older saws (stuff in general). As you say "thank you for watchin", I say "thank you for makin". Have a good day sir and keep them blizzardy winter manitoba vids comin. Makes me realize how good I got it in TX. 😉
Good job
Thanks for teaching!
Thankyou Jacob!!
Spot on video. Starting to tear down the carcass of an old 266xp. The 272xp I built cut another cord of wood today. Still running it a bit fat on the top end till it fully seats the ring. It was 10°C here today, virtually no wind, today, perfect cutting weather. After I was warmed up I was cutting in a t-shirt. Thanks again Tinman for all your sharing of knowledge. 200 series husky are my absolute favorite. The 55's are in my wheel house as well. Just good reliable saws. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
I got a 55 last winter, and I love it. Needed a top end so she's still breaking in. But man is that a good little saw.
@@Chuckrussell75 I've change one on my saw, I purchased Adefol parts on Amazon, $45ish for the whole top end
Good quality. I look for filled by Amazon for shorter delivery time. I have never had back luck with those ones and one third the price.
@@tdawg8605 Oh Cool, Thank You. Good to know. Yeah I got.mine (top end kit) from amazon too. I can't remember the brand or vendor, tbh. It was middle of the road priced like that though. I will say, I wasn't very impressed with this one, but I touched it up best I could. I ground my exhaust roof 98 ish if I remember right, & polished it. And dropped my intake floor slightly.
The big thing (for me) I did with that saw, was match, & flow the cases. And of course my base gasket delete created a ton of comp. Not trying to write you a book here, sorry. But my big problem with that cylinder kit, was it had like....4-5 Tiny pits in the coating. I don't have ball homes that size. But even so, I kinda doubt I could've gotten 'em out. Today, it got noticeably stronger. It just starts, & runs great though. I don't know what more to say. I'll watch it though. After my first tank, I ran my bore scope in, & so far so good.
I could not agree with u more about the work saw concept, years past I would try and explain the "Total Saw" concept. You have a lathe right? Turn up a few seal drivers. I have for most of the "common" for me saws. 372,390 etc. Even 550's. Looks like that might be something I do for another 670--272 blend build. Details like 1184 on oil pump screws....critical. And one concept I heard u "hint" at then slide right past, is too much sometimes looks cool & runs cool for a while. Stress past the design limits of things like the case/crank and it's just a matter of time before things like bearing pockets get pounded out :) Not a work saw concept. Great video. Who ever gets that saw will be a fortunate person. :) Excellent video!
Hey, fuel line and tank vent too. :)
This one is going to Buckins son, he's a full time cutter. And you're right to me they have to last for a good while or I didn't do my job.
Any idears where a guy can get an oem 266xp cylinder ? Seems like they aren’t very plentiful - I came across some info that a 670 jonsereds cylinder (which I CAN get) will fit but the cylinder has a nipple vs the block - no big deal to swap but just asking , maybe someone has a secret stash of them and is willing to part for the right coin 🪙
Good video
Good stuff!… thanks!
good porting comes with experience and trying differents things
A saw has to work or its worthless! Good as always Tinman!
You can in fact get the o-rings from McMaster-Carr along with the X-rings for the oil pump. The quantities they sell them in however kind of negate the savings. There is a fella I get them from on EBay from Texas, he kits them and sends them in an envelope and sells them super reasonable. ($7 per set I think is what I paid for the last set)
The good stuff
G'day , If you come down under for a visit you may not pick up any tips and if that's the case I'll probably say OZ didn't give anything to the Tinman that he didn't already have 🤔😜anyway back in the early 80's when I first used huskies I can remember how easy they were on the operator compared to the Stihls that were hard on you to run but as it turned out the very thing that made the huskies a pleasure to run in the hardest wood also was its undoing those mounts would flog out in no time. Husky has worked hard to build saws that suite Australian standards and a lot of young blokes are running them now days, I also think Stihl has used similar concepts for their anti vibe on their medium size saws but I'm not certain about that and maybe incorrect 👍🇦🇺.
⚙️🚲⚙️💥 leaves have almost gone here in Rhode Island. Makes it easier to see the cuts.Frost isn’t quite here though. Good time to plant grass 45*f and stack wood for next years burn. Gotta dry it so you don’t get all that creosote in the chimney. Godspeed Tim.
The other thing I found building my 272xp, it's not hard finding the big parts, it's all the little bits and pieces that are harder to source. Bolts, rubber boots, carb mount that sort if stuff. Just say'en. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙
Nice build Tinman.. Would like to see the seals installed in your arbor press. A lot less hassle for sure man.
Whenever I do bearings like this with hand tools and tight fits, I put the female part in the oven on warm, just to expand it ever so slightly. Usually just enough to not mangle the bearing when installing. If all metal bearings I'll put female in the oven and bearing in freezer, and they slide together without a hammer.
The 200 series was always my favourite to work on. 266 was never that popular here. 254 out sold them 3-1. Firewood guys usually went 61 or 630 Jonsered.
Thank you for the good video! Which part number have the flippy caps?
Ty for the knowledge tinman love watching you bro your a master with the saw! Looking forward to some business with ya! If ya need a handle let me know
feel yeah buddy, cold here in Ontario to. snow flurries the past three days.
That’s crazy that Newfoundland was 20 degrees today , I moved from Ontario last year . I was under the impression that it would be colder here 🤣
Almost 30c on my deck in BC today.
I forget your email dude. But I have a couple quick questions for you. I mentioned those o-rings awhile ago and how a guy can get his hands on a pile of them for cheap. Was gonna see if you wanted a bundle sent up to ya.
Weather's the same down here in Michigan. Like straight winds, & wet. Friggen cold. Lol, I use forceps for my fuel lines too. I was like "Hey, we're basically the same guy". Cool video, thanks as always.
I went thru my 61 last winter and got it running Sweet. Well sir, after it sucked the intake gasket into the crankcase, I obviously had to tear it Back down. And in doing so, discovered my clutch side bearing was toast. I absolutely should've just pushed new ones in when I bought the old saw, but I couldn't be bothered with it. So yeah. It's in a box waiting for me. Got the new bearings in, just need to finish.
Donny uses moto seal on the pump side around the o-ring too. I know he's smart doin that, but man it's a mess when ya pull that pump out next time. I dunno, I may just do it again because I'll get irate if I have to tear back into it after all that eh. Smh.
Winter's coming, where us guys shimmy out to the ole barn & get out tinkering done. Thank GOD I got that shovelhead job out of my life. What a pile of junk. Nothin but saws. And an evo sportster to finish up. I'm ready.
Thanks!
You're welcome buddy
I find heat gun the case up a bit with heat gun, and push them in with vice and socket, also use retaining compound for the surface of the seal or case so that you don't get any leaking round that part.👍
Good video, can’t wait to see this one finished
Thanks
Thanks Paul
New guy here,just subscribed.
Do you have any tricks on finding air leaks in crankcase?
I have a few 630's and I have changed crank seals on them but still can't tune them with any consistency. I suspect the gasket between crank halves or jug base gasket,but would like to confirm before tearing them that far down.
I think I will be checking your video's daily,cool stuff,thank you.
From the north woods of Mn take care.
Totally agree with you tinman, these small details are the only way a saw can run properly, you are the 2 series husky guru. Thanks for sharing with us, cheers.
nice video Tinman ..i have 262Xp so this was very helpful..tnx..
Speaking of VI it’s sunny and 21 C here today
Tinman, I've got what I think is a 268xp. Data plate and stickers are missing... Is there any reliable way of knowing what model I have?? Thanks and keep up the great videos!!!
Hey was wondering if the brand bearings matter an if so what are you running? I’m building a 268 with a 272 top end so I want go threw the bottom and make sure she hold up

My 266XP Saw is stock but refreshed with muffler mod, some big dogs. It pulls a 24" bar ok but not great. With a 24" it isnt ballanced well.
Hey tinman, will those husqvarna flippy gas caps fit your sachs dolmar 120? I've got a 120 and wouldn't mind using a flippy cap on it :)
You should check out Florida. It's always warm most often humid and only 1/3 of the trees are native so you never know what your going to cut. And everyone just loves Ironwood trees....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I've been to Florida several times, love it there
For my start on urban tree felling or falling,I need a big saw. I only have a new Husky 445 x-torque ; not exactly a take-down saw. Would you please help me find one from your homeland. I like Huskies but I don't reject Stihl. I am a very experienced engine builder and I am well "tooled" up. Thank you for all you do. If I am feeling down, I come to you and, truthfully, I am sunny again. I am in Iowa, and, oddly enough, I cannot find a big saw. I understand it will be expensive to ship but I can handle it.
Love a good work saw don't have go be a race saw.
👍💯🥩
Hogan's 266 has more frequent flyer points than a Wall Street CEO.
Hey Tinman O-rings might look a feel good but take them out. Check the inside of the ring but most importantly the condition of the groove because o-rings seal on three sides. Inside,outside and one of the edges of the groove
This is why I glue them. Never had a leak since I started doing that.
Just replaced my oil filter on my 266xp. Did as shown.... cut a collar from a pop can, did not overtighten the three bolts (put some thread lock on). But when I reassembled it, I could hardly pull the starter cord.... it was SO tight.... any thoughts anyone?
Tôi có biết dùng gưa huqvanaz 266xpg
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
See if you can tell us where you got those o-rings from.
All my orings are husqvarna oem. I haven't bought any aftermarket ones.
I think you can get then from McMaster Carr
How much would you guys spend for a saw like this? Not mint but runs.
What is your opinion on the 572 xp
I have a 570 is that the same as the 572
Ok you
was your saw faulty , or was the other saw he had was more "interesting " to him at the time ?
There was snow on the ground this morning
What is the difference between a 266se and a 266xp
Piston, carb and cylinder are different
Отличная пила, как бы поршневую группу на неё купить у нас в РБ нет ничего
Cut that ash at 5 ft and split it into handle blanks
If you cut my wood we have a bigger problem
😆
I enjoy learning but I get the feeling you are an election away from being a politician. I left nuclear egineering to work with my hands and to me nothing beats woods work. Maybe the better way to explain mods is to do what mods can be undone first then move on to risking the one way mods like cutting ports. Your notes could save a lot of experimenting . That is why I am here and you are honest to a fault.
Don't come to BC then, because you'll never want to go home 😊
