Thanks for the feedback Harv, was great talking to you on phone. Cant help you with that Wright haha. Hoping we can make some good things happen for guys with bars and chains lol. Please feel free to beat the snot out of that stuff and show how it goes good or bad. I’m not interested in selling junk. I’m interested in a good product that helps guys with bottom line. If we can get close to the “big boy brands” in terms of performance and longevity or match/ exceed that’s value for sure.
BeeRay Farms hey I’ve used archer chains on a few firewood saws. They rip. There’s an oil channel in the drivelink. They stay cool with the bar buried. Appears to have a tempered cutter
Don’t have BARS to fit the old Larger Homelites now as our old stock is kaput but we still have access to lots of .404 63 gauge chain and almost any configuration or gauge in 3/8 and the other common sizes. In terms of Bars the current TsuMura Bar line is geared towards Husky, Stihl, Jonsered, Dolmar(Makita) and saws that will mount to those. There are methods of making bars fit saws, but I probably shouldn’t get into that. Other channels will show you how. TsuMura also offers a regular “non lightweight bar” (no resin squares). They typically run a bit cheaper in any given size and like Harv says that’s probably a better option once you get over 90ccs. Balance is important in my mind..
Very informative video! Don't worry Mr Harvy I know guys half your age thank couldn't cut along side you because they couldn't keep up you'll get better just takes time. You have the most valuable thing is younger guys have that's experience and knowledge and I thank you for sharing both with us. Keep up the awesome work 👍👍💪!
Harv my dad always said there is old loggers and bold loggers. There is never an old bold logger! Don’t feel bad about not being able to production cut anymore. You have a different calling now embrace it. You are helping a lot of up and coming loggers. Just one question what would you give now to have had a guy share his knowledge of logging like you do back when you where a green horn? (Left acorn??? )
youtube imagine if we'd had it decades ago , it makes learning many things so much easier these days and it costs nothing. iron horse , his wife and son are a blessing.
Hi Harvey and Cullen!!😀😀 You have to face the fact just like I had to. Logging is a young man's game. Unless you stay at it steady . When you hit 50 you start to really slow down in the woods. If you have old injuries they start to make it almost impossible to make a living cutting timber. That's where you and I are now. We both have bad backs and bad legs from all the years of doing it. We have to just enjoy cutting our firewood and trying to teach the younger guys the right way to do it so they don't get hurt. I love to cut wood but I can only do it for a couple of hours and I have to sit down and call it a day. But I can still block 4 to 6 face cords of wood in that much time if it's decent stuff. So Harvey enjoy making firewood and teach Cullen how to do it the proper way!!😀😀 Take care my friends!!😀😀❤ Logger Al
I used to run a tank of gas out before I stopped but sense My 7 weeks of radiation and chemo 2 years ago I could only work 15 minutes at a time because the saw is now twice as heavy as it was 10 years ago. I'm 74 now my saw is a 50cc 20 " bar but I got rid of the dead Elm that was close to my house here in Minnesota. So there.
So I got to tell yah stumbled across your channel .... watched some ... Honestly trying to make a decision ... On whether the content was something I already heard before or not ? But now I'm big fan. you go into depth on things that others are not willing to do. The main reason I try to be a better woodsman can be more self reliant is so I have some things to pass down to my son. Ive cut and made my own firewood since I was in single digits. But can always learn something more !! Thank you sir !!!
I’ve used archer chains on a few firewood saws. They rip. They are sharp stock. There’s an oil channel in the drivelink. They stay cool with the bar buried. Appears to have a tempered cutter
Thanks Harv, nice to have a sit down with a coffee and see what's happening on your channel! Feels part of the team. One thing really like is your goal, from my point of view it great to see you out and i guess you just gotta keep doing your stuff.👍 And thanks for the information on cutting, I'm winching 400 ton of lark out of a small wood, selling for fire wood gives me a better return. Don't do much felling but it nice here tips and pointers really enjoying your content has always.
love your videos and have learned a lot from them. Gotta say the firewood videos are a great brake from all the technical stuff that hurts my head trying to understand it sometimes
I’ve watched a lot! Of your videos especially on porting especially since I’ve done some on outboards. Because of you I bought a 365 burnt a piston and rebuilding it now just no factory p&c I just bought a new Echo 620 p it has 24 inch bar with full comp chain and pulls it fine. I only had one tank of gas through it but I would put it against any stihl or Husqvarna of the cc
I saw the Wright saw in the background and was happy to see you talk about it in the video. I have several of the blade saws and also a Wright chainsaw. You mentioned that you know where to get carb kits. I have been unable to find carb kits anywhere for the Carter ND carbs. Some came with tillotson HL's, and I have kits for them as they are very common. If you know where the Carter kits might be avaiable, I could get a blade and chain saw in operation, do a video and talk about the history of the companies that produced these saws. Mr. Obsolete would appreciate any help. Thanks.
Hey Harv I’m 63 In about the same shape as you it’s because we worked very hard in our lives ya know love you brother I would really like a story sometime ok ❤️🙏✌️👍💪
Good episode, Harvey! A lot of good information. You can get a white board an make some drawing of cuts too or show them on a stump. I have to watch this again - and again. :D
One thing I never hear you guys talk about is cracking trees, When I worked as a short term logger the old logger who taught me would always saw the trees close to the ground and would yell like hell if you didn't fall it right and cracked the tree, very important not to bust up the lumber. Harvey knows all about that, I am sure.
ive put on alot of weight this year too,sad part is i know what to do having a fitness backround and a fully furnished home gym....motivation is my problem....and starchy carbs haha....firewood cutting season for me is comming so that will help alot......
TsuMura makes real nice solid steel bars (non lightweight) still have replaceable greasable tip etc, and are high quality. Anyways I put a 28” solid TsuMura on my 660 Stihl. I will just say that Bucking firewood logs in a pile with that setup in half dirty situation is a game changer with that setup. This stuff we are in now is Red elm, maple, walnut mix and big diameter. Maybe we will post a video after the 4th…
For anyone trying to loose weight around the middle, it is very hard to shift. I had fat around my waist, that would fold when I sat. I took up cycling; three one hour training sessions in the week, and a 5 or 7 hour competition ride on the weekends. Even after two years of doing that, the fat belt was only down by about a half. I think the only way to get rid of it is to do sit-ups on a very regular basis. Best of luck...
HARVEY YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN DO BUDDY,THERE MAY BE SNOW ON TOP BUT THERES STILL FIRE INSIDE ,JUST START WITH SMALL GOALS YOULL DO FINE BE SAFE BUDDY
I saw what pun you did! LOL It wasn't only Wright who did this type of saws mostly used for bucking. It started as stationary's on a hinge frame here in Sweden.
Not that I cut a lot of trees, but for hinge size I try to use 10 percent of the width of the tree. So, on a 24" tree I would like to have just under 2 and one half inch of hinge.
Start classes ill go to the HPD school of hard knocks. But sirously id pay to be tought the right way to fell timber id love it.Let me kno where and how to inroll
Don't buy the save edge files well not the 8in goofy file good flat file but not good for square chisle chain i tried new oregon 24in skip sender to the scrap pile this may get exspensive well more excpensive

So there.
You covered a lot in this one!! Great info especially for less experienced folks!! Thanks for sharing!! Stay safe buddy!!
So I got to tell yah stumbled across your channel .... watched some ... Honestly trying to make a decision ... On whether the content was something I already heard before or not ?
But now I'm big fan.
you go into depth on things that others are not willing to do.

Thank you sir !!!
Love listening to folk that have done stuff not the one's who think they have!!!!! cheers harvey.
Hello from Petrolia Ontario; thanks for sharing all of your expertise and love of the timber. Blessing to you Harvey.
Wow a saw that Harv has to try and pull over!!! That means that wright has HUGE compression!!
I’ve used archer chains on a few firewood saws. They rip. They are sharp stock. There’s an oil channel in the drivelink. They stay cool with the bar buried. Appears to have a tempered cutter
Harvey thanks for the information for the bars and chains
Thanks Harv, nice to have a sit down with a coffee and see what's happening on your channel! Feels part of the team.

great video as usual! 🤠🍻
love your videos and have learned a lot from them. Gotta say the firewood videos are a great brake from all the technical stuff that hurts my head trying to understand it sometimes
Thanks Ironhorse for the info on the bars and chain. And thank you the explanation of the different cuts you make buddy. Love it all. 🌲❤🌲✊
That old saw is pretty cool! I've bore cut on head leaners to prevent barber chair.
Thanks for the information that helped a lot.
I’ve watched a lot! Of your videos especially on porting especially since I’ve done some on outboards.

I really enjoy your videos I learned a lot I would love to bend your ear about not only 2 strokes but life in general

Hey Harv I’m 63 In about the same shape as you it’s because we worked very hard in our lives ya know love you brother I would really like a story sometime ok ❤️🙏✌️👍💪
Seen 9ne of these Wright saws on Hand Tool Rescue....pretty cool saw in a pretty cool video
that thing looks like giant gas powered reciprocating saw , definitely cool
An old horse may be slow but he knows what’s going on.
We have one of those old Wright saws we got at an auction, it's a hoot to run, but it's a heavy old beast!
I have the gold wright saw need to tear into it this winter
That saw is a beast buddy shes clean though hope you BARB and CULLEN are doing great ,hope your garden is doing well also
Itching to see the Fiskars axe head mounted😀
Hey Harvey that old wright great for palm trees,because the fiber that palm trees have
The Daily Ironhorse Q & A. What a Great idea to get Subscribers/Viewers the Answers they want.👍
Hey ironhorse! Round is a shape! From a broke down oversized mechanic also..
Good episode, Harvey! A lot of good information. You can get a white board an make some drawing of cuts too or show them on a stump. I have to watch this again - and again. :D
You got my ol wright behind you!
Love the content as always. Wrights are a cool old saw my local saw guy collects them.
You help us,so hang in there!!#

WE. LOVE YOU HARVE. I LOVE GOOD FOOD TO.
Amen price point really does matter ! I'll b hitting him up for sure.. thanks for the link mr harvy
You try Woodland Pro chain? From Baileys. Shipping may be high.
the look on the face tells you how much comp you got
ive put on alot of weight this year too,sad part is i know what to do having a fitness backround and a fully furnished home gym....motivation is my problem....and starchy carbs haha....firewood cutting season for me is comming so that will help alot......
Need to draw it out or show us in the woods please about the falling technique

It’s also a place where Archer Chain is the way to go. Lots of mud and steel in logs… it’s a good “destructive” test

HARVEY YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN DO BUDDY,THERE MAY BE SNOW ON TOP BUT THERES STILL FIRE INSIDE ,JUST START WITH SMALL GOALS YOULL DO FINE BE SAFE BUDDY
when your cutting you need to have thing just wright
I saw what pun you did! LOL It wasn't only Wright who did this type of saws mostly used for bucking. It started as stationary's on a hinge frame here in Sweden.
Loudest saw I own.
Let off the throttle and it grounds it out. That's the kill switch.
Its a big tease seeing the blue saw sitting idle in the background
Don’t you Wonder what it takes to get Companies to Update Equipment they Make ? Lots of Testing.
Good luck on the weight lose. Easy to go on...hard to take off. Stay 💪🏽
How much for one of those bars? Looks good
That's the one I thought you were using. Where is the best place to buy the file?
You could do something with that Wright! Depending on port timing. And turbos have been done don’t waste your time
there's old loggers and bold loggers. but no old bold loggers...
Not that I cut a lot of trees, but for hinge size I try to use 10 percent of the width of the tree. So, on a 24" tree I would like to have just under 2 and one half inch of hinge.
I’d like to hear stories of your dad and you growing up
👍
thanks 4 video. be kind.
Good video
Start classes ill go to the HPD school of hard knocks. But sirously id pay to be tought the right way to fell timber id love it.Let me kno where and how to inroll
arr
That’s the biggest saws all and the oldest lol.
Don't buy the save edge files well not the 8in goofy file good flat file but not good for square chisle chain i tried new oregon 24in skip sender to the scrap pile this may get exspensive well more excpensive
You like Cannon bars?
I love them!
Never grease a tip it only holds dirt
Then dip and clean the bar nose blow it out and re pack grease should help
Thats weird harvey I just picked up an old wright about a 2 months ago. Let me know if you need carb parts I got a source for them.
to file a chain its all feeds and speeds /////bout 3 chains per file well thats what i get
Please would you tel me ,where
Do you get your files.
I have looked for weeks nou but
I cant get the right files for sqaure filing
I find them on eBay!
I would think Madsens or Baileys might have them.
Howdy!
100 bucks
👍
