How many contractors do you meet who are as nice and smart as andrew? Loans out one of his bob cats and it breaks down, he goes out and puts new parts on it. Lady wants her island cushes cut, gets 2 boats and puts a rented bush mower on 1. Guy gets broken jetskis and fixes them and rides with he dog. Something breaks, he pulls out a cam and fixes it and shows us all how. Doesnt put tons flair and useless bait info out either. I mean this guy ROCKS. Love this guy! real mans man lol

      OK so with aluminum it’s probably a good idea to use a torque wrench if you’ve got one. You can also put a little blue Loctite on. Chainsaws vibrate a lot. Loctite is good stuff and the blue is easy to get apart Later.

    You are a multi-talented young man Andrew.... that old chainsaw was manufactured 4 years before I was born and when I was 16 I started my first real job as an Apprentice gardener in a big country estate in Scotland, UK. We didn't use chainsaws in 1971 but a crosscut saw and a bow saw over my shoulder when climbing the tree to cut the limbs off the tree.
    I wish we had your equipment that you use now and have half the knowledge and smarts you have Andrew.

      I was actually going to say something similar ! Something to add in as I’m an arborist climber owner of my family business. One thing I might want to add. As a new rebuild I would almost treat it as if it was a new saw ? I’m not 100% sure but I would assume so ? Correct me if I’m wrong. When we purchase brand new saws as the business is expanding we are always told to run one tank of fuel through at idle and then the second tank we cut but be a bit easier on it not bam bam bam rapid fire cutting. Give it a little break time and then third tank hammer down. I usually just idle a tank on the way to the first jobsite and she’s good to go. Always had my saws last 3-5 seasons minimum. I have a few big Stihl that we beat the living crap out of 2000-5000 hrs on some of these saws and nothing aside from sea foam in my mix every single tank. Keeps that shit clean and running great. We cut 8-10 hrs a day every day M-F

    Thank you for a truly great saw video Andrew. I need a much bigger saw than the little 16" I have now, and can't really afford a $1000+ saw. You've inspired me to get a used and broken one and fix it. I'm so glad you ignore the haters in the comments and keep making excellent content for us. Your work is much appreciated.👍

    Okay mountain girl here’s some fun homework for your enjoyment.
    There’s always something inherently sexy about any person who’s good at what they do.
    In this longish video this young man is very creative obviously loving what he does well. He kept surprising me with one angle after another and what appears to be a endless store of energy. He kept everything moving along with great editing and even introducing some advanced film making techniques. Towards the end he takes us out on his property and cuts down a couple big trees. He’s sharing some great techniques and safety tips. He’s a great story teller and even brings his dad into the vid at one point. Nice touch & respectful. He’s jumping on different pieces of big equipment fluently and without any fanfare shares a little bit of his life with us.
    I Especially liked the use of camera drone and multi-camera captures of falling trees.
    Sometimes people can pleasantly surprise us. Thumbs up. 👍

    You are a miracle worker. I know most of those saws and have quite a few of them. I can’t believe you got them to run. None of mine are working now & i do NOT have the patience you exhibit. Wow is all I can say. Thank you for so much inspiration. I will say, years ago I came across a similar 1950’s monster saw at my local Sunday market. I think he wanted $400. It was basically a Johnson/Evinrude outboard motor configured as a chain saw. Unreal. You had to flip the engine over to engage the float bowl, get it going then flip it back to keep it running, it was like a Merlin in a Spitfire but doubtfully that reliable. Insane piece of kit. My “X” said if I bought that, there would be no need to show up for dinner. Best $400 I ever spent! I will be watching this vid again to try & get more of my saws running again. Thanks for your great work. PS when I saw you bring out the “mini” skidder and grab a tree I thought , “why is he not just going to hang the tree instead of cutting on the ground....” bingo.... touché...

    Great channel! I worked construction and always enjoy watching pros.
    Our road crew had a couple of chainsaws from late '50s - early '60s. They had always used 30W motor oil in premix. That's probably where the 12/1 ratio came from. I used 40/1 and they ran for several more years. With motor oil, the gas always evaporated/separated and first pull, oil in the cylinder. Made them hard to start. A half teaspoon of gas down the carb worked. Both were manual chain oilers you pumped every minute or so. They were also low RPM chainsaws, at least at the chain. Kinda slow cutting. And they had hardnose bar tips, which sucked a lot of power, roller tips much better. The swivel ring on some old saws was likely so you could turn the bar sideways for felling. Some really old saws wouldn't run on their sides.
    I took our old 990G Homelite and put a 4 foot roller tip bar on it with a skip tooth chain.
    We had a lot of big redwoods blocking roads after winter storms. The 990G could do a six foot log if needed, but it was slow.

    Good to see your dad using that old saw. Probably brought back a lot of memories for him. Great video Andrew. That old saw looks like the one that Noah used

    You hooked me up for 2 hours. I never spent so much time on an you tube video before. That was amazing and lot to learn from your ez narration.
    Thank you, my young Technical Engineer. Good luck! If you allow me I will visit your work place someday.

    Never thought this video would be as good as it turned out to be. Very informative and some great humour.
    Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
