😇😀😮😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 The Saw Tossing Contest With The Homelite at The End Made Me Lol Mr Obsolete 😆😆😆 Prayers Still Going Out to Mrs Obsolete 😇😇😇👍🏼 For a Full Recovery
I believe that the s25da was a commercial grade version of the saw if I remember correctly. Others have commented about them using them in tree service with good results. Many versions of the 25 series saws were made. The worst ones I have and have worked on had a puny clutch with a bushing for a bearing, which wore out real fast and chattered. The better ones had a much larger clutch that had a needle bearing in it. Many other weird features were the different fuel line routings, fuel tanks, carbs and chain sizes.
Good to see yeah Mr Obsolete. Hope Mrs O 🙏 is healing up and feeling better. I think my son and I pick up a poulan version of that first saw you showed. Haven't really got to mess with it yet. But it is light weight Wouldn't be hard to throw that one too far 🤣 . Think we paid ten or fifteen dollars for it. Great video......👍🤙
Mrs. O is getting better every day. It will be interesting to see what you think of the generally terrible small Poulan's once you get it running. They are great for throwing too.
My wood shark actually ran every time i went to use it. It needed a carb kit when i bought it but never missed a beat after that. I gave it away though at Tazapolusa and got a pro mac 610 given to me. It had the zama carb you can't get parts for so i put the walbro carb they also came with on it! Much better as it actually runs now! See ya next time! Oh hpoe Mrs O is getting better!
Mrs. O is doing better all the time. It's funny about the crappy Poulan's, as some actually ran and gave decent service, but are a small part of the large amount of them that were sold. I refer to them as factory rejects, that were somehow put together properly at the factory. My McCulloch 610,s all came with Tillotson carbs, but many were sold with Walbro's as well and the later ones came with the terrible Zama carbs.
I know I've commented here before on my first saw the "factory reject" "wood carp" which was actually good and reliable for 10 years and countless hours of use. I wanted to add one pro and one con that I thought were significant. The pro: never leaked bar oil. Same thing with the similar saws I've owned. Con: really buzzy. Hands go numb after several hours of use. Probably a lesser known con since they typically don't stay running long enough for that to happen.
I have had a number of comments about some of the cheapo Poulan's, such as the Wood Carp and Wild Thing. The Wild Thing I received was a nonrunner, but when I started to work on it, I found the clutch drive teeth were worn out and the bottom of the bar was really worn. The first owner had gotten a fair amount of use out of it. On the other hand, the Carp saw had only about 6 hours of use before being thrown out in the shed for years. The Carp saws owner manual says (for intermittent use only) as the vibration can permanently damage the nerves in your hands if used extensively. Most of these small saws didn't run long enough to do that kind of physical damage. Thank Goodness !
First saw in video....I have fixed so many of these. Always the fuel lines and stupid routing of the lines. Great saw but never had one with the power sharp still in place! They still run strong for limbing.
Mrs. O is progressing steadily, but still has to use a walker. In about 2 weeks she will graduate to crutches. Thanks for asking. Maybe we should start a new hobby, throwing cheapo saws from the past and the present. Sounds like fun !
The Homelite Timberman, or as I call it Timber Mouse, is truly the worst saw I have ever owned. The Wood Shark is a very close second. Good thing I have McCulloch's and Pioneers to do the real work. These other saws are for entertainment.
I have 3314 it's the newer strato version of the woodshark I pick it up at Walmart for 60 dollars.I didn't think it would last the weekend .I've had it for 7 years with zero issues.I have cut a lot of firewood with it .I would never pay full price but for 60 dollars it's hard to beat ..
The little Poulans seem to mostly have quality control issues in manufacturing, as some last a few weeks and others last a long time. I have experienced this situation myself. Luck of the draw !
Ive got a couple of the yellow 42 cc saws , maybe 15 years old. They've cut a lot of wood in the past. But then again l can an do fix em. I prefer my Husky , Dolmar ,an if l could get my mac pro 1010s to pull enough gas too run. I'd use it, l retired my poulans. Seems if ever a problem always a problem. I do have an old Remington saw l love it always starts. Check this l bought a Chinese saw an bull large saw for a chainsaw mill. It's worked well but lm scared if it ever breaks down. In the garbage can it goes.
Being able to repair your saws is the key to operating and using vintage saws for sure ! The newer Poulans always seem to have some issue, making them a good candidate for the recycle bin. I have not had a Chinese saw, and don't plan on getting one either, but they are much better now than just a few years ago. Vintage is best for me !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 The only Chinese saw really is call Blue Thunder. It's a Chinese sthil, the use the parts to repair the Sthil saws. I bought it out of curiosity an the saw mill. Sure not useing a good saw for that. It tears up, oh well, honestly runs better that the new box store saws. I mostly see carb issues an repair or replacement. Just don't work at times. People don't have much choice when they have an emergency. It's really sad state of affairs. If l cleaned out that stuff my saw building might have room. I got some old homelite super xl12 s. Another mac 1010 . I just might test my slinging arm tomorrow.
There are 3 saws that are copied heavily by most Chinese saws. They are Stihl, Husky and Zenoah. Zenoah 's are not sold in the US, but are a large seller everywhere else. They are owned by Husky. Looks like you have some good ol US saws as backups.

Humor is good ! Mrs. O's recovery is going well. Thank you.
Haha! That was my favorite surprise ending of a video so far! 🤣
A little humor is always good !
Used poulan s25da saws for years in my tree service and loved them, never had any issues with them.

This video made me laugh, great video! Subbed.
Thanks for watching and subscribing.

The Poulan 25's have very good power for their size, but they are hard to work on for sure.
I like how you throw that Homelite chainsaw in trees in Georgia video very much and I hope your wife is doing well thank you for the video
Good to have a little humor in the videos from time to time. Mrs. O is doing well. Thanks for the nice comment.
How’s the Mrs progressing?
Maybe start a chain throwing contest.

I have had all 3 of those saws and totally agree with how you ranked them. That little Homelite really is one of the worst saws ever.

I've owned all 3 saws and will not own them again. I just got rid of a 3416 and a 3400.
The 3 saws in my video are kept around so I have something to gripe about. They are great saws for throwing however !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 right.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 right. I know what you mean. I've been there a few times lol
Are all mcculloch 10 10 53cc besides the 10 10s??
All Mac 10-10's are 54cc from what technical info I have been able to find on them.
