You got my attention now Harvey I’m so excited this awesome stuff for everyone not just me your one of the premier builders in the states I know how privileged I am to have you working on my saw I also know there are lots of people waiting in line to get a saw too you thank you so very much for your service I will cherish that machine for the rest of my lifetime 👍💪
im building a jonsred 625 with a 272 top end it was my late brother in laws saw i found it as a pile of parts in a bucket thanks to these videos i got it to run !! or kinda haha still working the bugs out of it but from a 5 gallon bucket and a guy that has never worked on a saw im happy to hear her run !! just wanted to say thanks for the videos and help
You are the best at explaining everything. Even if I never port a saw it is interesting stuff. Maybe one day I will try one. Before I started watching you I had no idea how a saw worked. Thanks for all the explanations. About time for a story. Love the stories.
Love it Ironhorse. I have a 61 and if it ever goes haywire I'm gonna put a 272 cylinder on it wow that will be fun. You are so full of information about these saws. Love it thank you Ironhorse.
I love these videos I have a white top 61 I was planning on building I was hoping this build was coming sooner than later. I have followed you're videos for a while now and thank you for all the info and kindness 👍👍
Just took down a 50+ yr maple on the front yard. Dropped it just where I wanted. Thought of you when I started up my MS270C. She purred just like she always has over the last 20 years. Great video. Keep them coming.
Winter i wish, we hit 47 deg c on tues. These appoxies amaze me, i sealed a rusted hot water heater with a decent hole using dyna steel putty and many many weeks later still no leaks.
That is a great trick for the decompressor hole. I put a 72 cc cylinder on my Jonsered 630 with some amateur port work done by me. And when I put the plug in the decomp hole I was wondering about doing something like this. But I didn't, But man it runs good! I guess if for some reason I have to take the cylinder off again i will have to jb weld that hole. Thanks Harvey!
I'm not sure where you're from I'm from Western North Carolina stuck back in the mountains you guys are the only TH-cam show I watch iv been cutting trees and working on my own tools all my life thinks for the show I have learned a lot
Was a nice day in woods. Stiffened up some.gotsome white oak 35 inches on stump skidding out.I'm with you on the bearing thing. Bigger the better.old stuff definitely made to last.my old Franklin's 40 year's old will out pull most modern skidders.
I'm glad I found this channel. This is an older video but filling that decomp hole with JB weld to prevent some compression loss is a detail you won't find on many other channels. I really like the attention to the fine details on these builds. Thank you.
You must be new. There are better channels with actual porters, this guy sadly ain't it. Unless you want a chainsaw that makes a lot of noise and have subpar compression and some scratchy ports for 600+ bucks.
I was fortunate to buy an absolute mint 272xp a few years back. The only things I have had to replace so far are the fuel line and the recoil assembly, the motor has never been opened.
Hi Harvey cant wait to see the second video of the 261 with the 72 barrel goin on the first video was very helpful i have a couple of 61 and a couple of 66 plus i have a 72 piston and topend which i have planned to fit so youf knowledge is really helpful thanks. DAVE FROM IRELAND
Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi ..shurly we can get one up on germany .. Just picked up a my first 371 for $200 .. So been watchen all the port timing vids to sharpen up .. Keep up the tips and tricks vids there really good aussie oi
I FOUND A SAW MASTER! GOT TO DO THIS TO MY OLD HUSKY 61...THANK YOU SIR. IN MY LATE 60'S DONE LOTS OF SAW WORK, AND BUKIN'BILLY'S LITTLE RIPPER HOMELITE RUNNING A SKINNY 32" BAR MADE MY MOUTH WATER, BUT THIS HUSKY IS MY GO TO RIG. HAD SINCE NEW IN '86, BEEN THROUGH IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NEVER FOUND ANYONE WHO REALLY KNEW WHAT YOU DO.
This is a Nice man committed to wonderful channel and content if you haven't subscribed do it you won't regret it and thanks mr ironhorse for a wonderful conversation.
Germany is still here and waiting for the Portingjob! Just found a Husky 61 on garbage with lose carb. Tightened it and changed the Piston to a Meteor . Piston was a bit scored caused of the airleak by the lose Carb. Ran perfektly and has been sold to a new Owner. Watch my Chanel with Piped Solo 651 with screaning clutchbearing😂 and wearing Bunnyboots. Learned a lot from your Videos, keep on ! Best Regards
THE IRONHORSE j. Witschor just click on the Picture of my Comment. My Problem is to reach the Transfers in that small 50cc cylinder. Need the right tool for it. Dremel is not the best without anglegear.
I bought a nice jonsered670 super. The guy put a 272 top end and carb. He did a lot of work to it. It’s nasty compared to my 2166. I bet that guy is on this channel somewhere
HEY HARVEY, I DID MY 61, STILL WAITING FOR THE HOLZFORMA OEM INTAKE BLOCK GASKETS. SO WHAT DID I DO? SAW A PIONEER "PRO" 4620 (NOT THE PLASTIC CHAIN ADJUSTER MODEL)FOR SALE BY A GUY WHO COULDN'T GET SATISFACTION WITH IT-OIL LEAKS, ETC., BUT IT HAS A HARD-CHROMED CYLINDER SO THEY CAN RUN IT LEAN, GOOD COMPRESSION, AND HE BOUGHT IT NEW. AND I WANTED A BACK-UP, OR A SECOND SAW IF I EVER WERE TO HAVE HELP DOING FIREWOOD, (FAT CHANCE OF THAT!:). I HAD $25 OM ME, SO I NOW OWN IT. NEXT ONE I WANT IS AN OLD 395 OR A STIHL O56, BOTH OF WHICH I OWNED WHEN I WAS LOGGING. I'VE GOT A LITTLE "ONE-HANDER" STIHL 180C WITH A 14" BAR FOR CLIMBING, SO A "BIG FALLER" IS ALL THAT'S NEEDED TO BE "ALL SAWED-UP" FOR WHATEVER. GOT A WALNUT GROVE TO TAKE-OUT FOR A GUY, AND GET A FEW YEARS AHEAD ON MY FIREWOOD FOR ONCE...HARVEY, YOU AND TINMAN GAVE ME KNOWLEDGE I WISH I HAD BACK THEN. BUT HEY, AT 66, I KNOW I'LL APPRECIATE THE GIFT EVEN MORE. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!
Hey ironhorse. Is the husqavana 61 and the 66 the same saw.. av a old 61 there never let me down. A was thinking of doing some crazy ironharveyhorse stuff to it fella.
61 would be 48mm piston 66 would be 50mm piston (I believe) and 272 is 52mm piston. But all same stroke of 34mm I think . Some one correct me if I am wrong.
Iron horse should do this. There’s power on the table there. I’d like to hear his knowledge. I must say, I played around a little and a fast saw has a 325 chain and a short bar with an extra tooth on the sprocket. But I done know much. I understand simple physics and that’s what I came up with and boy it sure did speed up the cutting on an echo I played with. I sold it it really was gutless after everything. Every echo I ever had was gutless. Good workers but lackin in the extra power department.
I have watched almost all of your videos, I have a 372 x-torq do you think you will do a video on porting and building a x-torq ? Thanks love your videos!
Mike Withrow yup. I’d like to hear about that too. I got. 2166 that wields nice. It’s light and strong. I like the saw but is got a weird ignition and it’s got low rpm.
love these 61 /272 builds this said i run the 630 jred platform with same 272 top end also love to hear if u can and doo any jred stuff i have a jred 80 i need help with~!!
That 272 cylinder propably wont go under the white top without some modifications? How do you like open port cylinders like 61s in general? Im building Jonsered 525 with 535 engine. It was not straight bolt on, cylinder needed some lathe work. Im building it stock other than having a 2ccs more displacement, but im building it more for sentimental reasons than perfomance since my father had 525.
Hey ironhorse will this same setup work the same on a 162se without changing out the carb or intake boot?. Picked one up and can’t find a kit to fit oe. Thanks in advance your content rocks!
What's the difference with the husq 61 top colors? I've seen white, black, and orange so far, but is there some way of telling the age of these saws by the colors too? I just bought a pretty rough 61 with a black top that I'ld like to make a project out of but am still trying to learn more about them.
Hey got a question I have a stripped out Husky 61 trying to find parts to fix it but having problems can you possibly refer me to someone for parts for it so I can rebuild it
It is not good to put any two components of glue (2k metal) on the decompressor, at full operating temperature, part of that glue can be torn off to destroy the piston and cylinder. Just tighten the screw.
You got my attention now Harvey I’m so excited this awesome stuff for everyone not just me your one of the premier builders in the states I know how privileged I am to have you working on my saw I also know there are lots of people waiting in line to get a saw too you thank you so very much for your service I will cherish that machine for the rest of my lifetime 👍💪
Yeah man that ain't no joke ol uncle harve knows his stuff....I dont LISTEN to or HEAR, just anyone but when he says make this that shape...I do it
Folks don’t forget back in the day people used what they had to make things work. These older folks have so much knowledge.

Alcohol is the natural thinner for epoxy so the cleaning should be alcohol.

Hey Harvey You should do a video on clutches and bar+chain combinations!? There not really any videos on that.
Iron horse should do this. There’s power on the table there. I’d like to hear his knowledge.

Dirty fins means over heating. Iron Horse is that true....cheers
It will cause overheating!

Gonna be a great saw!! Cant wait to see it work out a little!

Hey Harvy I'm a new sub can you do that same build to a 266 SE ???
Yes!
Awsome thanks brother . Hey love all your content btw . Mite be getting with you on one of them pipes you put on buckins 266 if possible
First HEY IRONHORSE hope all is well welcome to all newcomers
I would be worried a crumb of that would break off or crack off and then what....it is in your cylinder.
I have a practica 61 just like the one in this video totally stock what is the easiest way to get more torque?
After you port the saw? Does the cylinder get easy to pull start?
In most cases!
Hey Ironhorse do you have a parts list for the 272 top end kit?
Rest of the story....lol...kinda like a controlled runaway diesel ? If that makes any sense
I had a transfer cover come off the flywheel side of my ms 311, what’s the best way to seal the transfer covers
Hurry Up show us IRONHORSE !!!!!!!!
😊😊😊👍👍👍👍
Hey got a question I have a stripped out Husky 61 trying to find parts to fix it but having problems can you possibly refer me to someone for parts for it so I can rebuild it
What parts you need?
@@theironhorse6600 muffler cylinder head and a pull string I know for sure right now
👍🏻
Where do you get these cylinders
Wolf creek saw shop
HELLO HARVEY LOTS OF GOOD ADVICE
Did this 20 years ago.
Makes a nice saw aye?
It is not good to put any two components of glue (2k metal) on the decompressor, at full operating temperature, part of that glue can be torn off to destroy the piston and cylinder. Just tighten the screw.
Can I get more power out of my 028?
Find a 028 super cylinder.
What's your email? I have a few questions.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
