@@Chickanic I’m from south Arkansas and I’m just now learning about chickanic? I watch Utube quite a bite. She has some really good videos. Very informative. LinemanG
Had one almost exactly like that one. The ignition coil cratered and a six month search for a replacement failed to find one. Poor baby went to chain saw heaven. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
That's funny you said this. You are not the only one! LOL! Watch this video I put out right after about why I didn't talk in that video. th-cam.com/video/zbq2EaLH4OM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=d6ajw5cX9AjRmjdj
I started watching and realized there’s my chainsaw 😊 a gift from my mom when my wife and I bought our house in 1986. I bought another one for parts about ten years ago and of course it ran after a little work so now I’ve got two 😃 Thanks for posting this ♥️ you brought back memories of my wife and mom 😇
Just the adsulute perfect woman, loves two strokes......seriously this was a great video, no bs, no fannying about, just a great shout to your grandad. Learnt loads from your videos and thank you from the UK. Messing with an 009 and an 015 at the moment, just love old top handles. Xx
I love the top handle saws, they are just the right size to carry on the 4 wheeler. I plung cut into the end of a piece of 4x6 post, strapped it to the rack on the 4 wheeler.
Dad received the Poulan green version of that saw from fellow hunting buddies in 1973.The darn thing just won't quit. We cut wood to feed the woodstove with it for 15 years until we finally moved on to some bigger saws. That saw in it's bright green carrier still followed us out to the woods as a rescue saw for many years. Still gets dusted off occasionally. Bet I've been given 3 dozen of those exact same saws in various manufacturer's colors over the years. Seems like the most rebranded saw of all times.
Probably the coolest chainsaw video I have seen except for the one that you showed about starting an Echo timberwolf, thanks, I really enjoyed this one
Great video and very nice resto job. Looks amazingly like my 1989 Poulan 2300 CVA. Recently replaced the bar oil supply lines and fuel lines. Still runs great.
Bre, You are amazing! That Craftsman chainsaw looks brand new. It was not only very satisfying to watch you tear it down peace by peace. I'm sure you got a lot of satisfaction of restoring it, and on top of which, the sentimental value that it was your grandfather's discarded treasure. You do such amazing work, and I always enjoy your enthusiasm.🙂👋
Great job! Just finished restoring a Homelite XL for a friend. It had been sitting in his grandfather's basement for a long time. He wasn't sure how long . Love you videos. Mikey 😁
I have my father's chain saw I'm doing the same with. I do enjoy when you talk more in the video. I know you can't win for losin'. Wishing you the best and really enjoy and learn a lot from your videos.
Dam girl that was great, I'm sure Grandpa would be proud of you. I never would have remembered where all those screws and bolts would go, fantastic video, now I have to go take a cold shower😊
That was truly a work of love. I would have stripped in down thinking I could fix it but then have no idea how to put it all back together. I am very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed watching every but!
That saw was in remarkable shape for where it was stored. I’ve seen equipment in worse shape sitting in a garage. The carburetor was unbelievable. Great job! Looks fantastic..
"Love Americian style, truer than the Red White and Blue" Old 70's show...........Didn't know they had shirts! Great video. Glad you got your voice back at the end. Missed the narration. lol
Now THAT is a true restoration video. Not FAKED. I have brought several of these older Craftsman back from the dead and they are ALWAYS worth the effort.
Those old Pouland saws always work, they're too simple not to. Same with the old Homelite and McCulloch. My Dad has a Mini Mac 110 that will never stop running!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this chain saw by Craftsman/Poulan. They were light weight, easy to start, just a pleasure to use. The only grip I ever had was there was only one bolt to tighten the bar. It should have been manufactured with 2. Otherwise. Thank you so much for doing the work and posting this video
Reminds me of the Poulan Pro I had. Worked well no matter what I threw at it. Really impressive re-build and restore of the Craftsman. A little bit of your Grandpa memories came back to life.
And that is an original Poulan great saws. I have a 306A and a 2.0 I nought new years ago and they both run as good today as when I bought them. I am now 76!!!!
Just worked on one exactly like that one this week for a lady. It was her dad's. I didn't restore it, but I did go through it and make it run like new. It sat for several years. Funny thing is, when I took the carb apart, it looked as clean as yours did. The pump diaphragm was slightly "plastic-y", but the metering diaphragm was soft as silk. I was as surprised as you were, lol. Cleaned and rebuilt anyway with a new kit. We normally tend to turn older equipment away if it's not worth much, but those old Craftsman saws are legendary.
During Covid I went a little nuts and bought a pile of saws and did the same thing. Ended up with an Echo CS-360T that’s a beaut now, but had been crushed by a tree. It now lives in my dads shed and gets used all the time. Did another for a buddy a Jonsered 625 that is now used all the time.
I can't believe all the bolts were still in the saw. Most have lost many of the originals and many have threads that are stripped. May I suggest lock tight too keep them for posterity.
AWESOME!!! I enjoy working on old chainsaws and other equipment. I prefer Homelite saws but I also Rehave a yellow bone in my collection. Recently I got my mom's old Ford rototiller that had been sitting for at least 15 years got it going in a day. Needs gear seals and the govenor sticks and belts
Dang girl! You just amaze me every time I watch your channel. You made that look easy, but i know it's not. I have my daddy's old saw in the garage. You just inspired me to give it a go. I won't attempt too far. I know my limits. Thank you. You're the best! 🎉
Glad I found this! I have this same saw but Poulan (at least it looks identical) I got from my uncle years ago sitting on a shelf waiting for me to get time to go through it.
Your most welcome love your videos keep up the geat work your a inspiration to all of us not just women out there glad to take information from you anytime Kraig from Washington State
My first experience with a chain saw was with a Craftsman just like that one. I cut down an Elm tree that was 38" in diameter with it and sawed it into firewood. The next saw I used was another Crafts man and it was also a workhorse. My understanding was that Poulan built the Craftsman saws but i had a Poulan and it was a do detter, but it did not last long with all the wood I cut. Great job Bre and loved the video

Young lady, (yup, I’m old enough) you’ve done your Grandpa proud. Another great job with a difficult task.
Aw! Thanks!

Awesome! Very good job! I believe you have worked on one or two chainsaw’s before. Lol.

Love the way you set the flux gap . Nice bit of restoration. 👍🏴
The fastest working mechanic on You Tube!
from an era when Craftsman made good stuff!
Grandpa is looking down, beaming with pride.
Great work restoring Grandad’s chainsaw.
A strong woman, a craftswoman, a chickanic. Great work.
What I like most about a project like this is seeing how many parts I have left after reassembly. :-)
Truer actions were never spoken.
Great rebuild...
Had one almost exactly like that one. The ignition coil cratered and a six month search for a replacement failed to find one. Poor baby went to chain saw heaven. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
That old craftsman is probably better made than 90% of what is for sale today
It has unusual design, compared to any Stihl, Husqvarna, Partner, Shindaiva, Dolmar or others I ever seen.
I missed your usual detailed commentary on this video.

The music cracks me up every time. Nice job on the new shop!
It needs a sticker that says "Craftswoman" to replace the Craftsman sticker. This was great! I learned quite a bit too.
glad to see my "use packaging material to gap the ignition coil" technique is chickanic approved.
Outstanding!
Wow!! Your best video ever. Took a lot of guts to tackle that one without narration.
Grand pop would be proud! Now git 'er done!
Lovely👍.. bring back old stuff back to life.. I would have done the same

One of the greater joys in life. Taking something apart. Been doing it since I was 3, when I took my Mom's vacuum apart.
Your the best mechanic I've ever seen, I live in Maine , no one in My area can compete with you knowledge 😊
What a great video but that wasn't an armpit assist getting that flywheel off! I love that you're keeping your grandfather's saw going!
that is a beautiful chainsaw mechanic lady.
Probably the coolest chainsaw video I have seen except for the one that you showed about starting an Echo timberwolf, thanks, I really enjoyed this one
Love this video ...all explain and expose without any word.!!!
Wow. That saw looks good and sounds great. I tip my hat to you.
believe it or not craftsman chain saws were pretty good. back in the day
Love your videos. It's nice to see women doing things that were traditionally done by men.
BTW, love your pink Nitrile gloves! Nice touch.
Great video and very nice resto job. Looks amazingly like my 1989 Poulan 2300 CVA. Recently replaced the bar oil supply lines and fuel lines. Still runs great.
Yup, most Craftsmans were simply rebadged Poulans which were best to my knowledge made in Shreveport, LA and in this case just painted grey.
No other way about it. You are an awesome, talented mechanic. Great job.
Thanks for working on something that does not cost $1000 --ya know, like a grandpa would buy
Those are pretty decent saws, I'll even grab one for camping now and again in my rotation
If I am ever invited over for a family feast is that work table on the pool deck the same table for eating lunch.😂

Awesome. Made back in the days when quality mattered!
Couldn't agree more!
Thank GOD for arm pits and long screw drivers!
Love the screwdriver under the boob trick😁
Hey Mrs Chick superb job you are a true master of your craft definately outstanding and excellent 😊. Keep at it. 😊😅
OMG i have the exact same saw. Still running great to this day !!!!!!

What a gem!
Awesome I’m sure your grandpa is smiling that you restored his saw and it’s running like a champ. Great work!
Chick's with chainsaws awesome 👍😁
That saw was in remarkable shape for where it was stored. I’ve seen equipment in worse shape sitting in a garage. The carburetor was unbelievable. Great job! Looks fantastic..
I have that exact saw in perfect condition, purchased new in 1995 if i remember correctly. Love it!

Beautiful. Love to have it!!!!!!~!

My poulan has a metal case
Wow Bré you grandad will be so proud of you hope you use it for work around you property
Bre, you're the best. 👍👍👍
Bet grandpa is smiling down on you.
Was hoping for a shot of you jumping in the pool at the end, DANG!
The OSHA approved footwear cracks me up every time.
And that is an original Poulan great saws. I have a 306A and a 2.0 I nought new years ago and they both run as good today as when I bought them. I am now 76!!!!
I just got this same chainsaw at an estate sale for $5, your video is going to be a huge help
A real restoration!😅 tjamks again!
I love the limited dialogue and speed up video style.
You never cease to amaze me Bre. Amazing ability and knowledge, definitely not a girly girl most of the time. Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that! Thanks!
not girly girl but def nice legs 🙂

There is nothing more satisfying to me than bringing something back from the dead. Your channel is amongst my favorites and this was a gem. Thanks.
That poor gas can sitting beside it. That was one of the good ones 😢
Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. It’s a labor of love for sure.
Excellent job !!!!!!!
Sweet! I could get it to the place where it was apart but from there forward I’d be lost. Very satisfying for you I’m sure.
A true master at work !
Good job with grandad's saw , can't believe that diaphragm was still good . 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the advice/insight on the premixed gas. The Echo blower is a new machine now that I don't use the junk premixed fuel.
I knew that was a Craftsman, my dad had the exact same one. That's the saw I learned on.

I have my fathers McCulloch, around 1962. Would be herculean task to restore it.
I loved watching this I do this stuff dayliy well done amazing stuff looks amazing
Glad I found this! I have this same saw but Poulan (at least it looks identical) I got from my uncle years ago sitting on a shelf waiting for me to get time to go through it.

Poulan 2300. Nice little saws.
So good to see you using proper screwdrivers not the electric type
