Using vintage saws of all types and sizes is a fun way to get my wood cutting and firewood work done. Using all the saws, both good and bad, makes for good footage for my video's, and keeps my mechanical skills sharp. Thanks for watching and the nice comment.
yw !! Sir , i like the old stuff myself , although i aint a mechanic , if i dont have something good to say , i dont say it , i do enjoy your channel , Thank Ya Sir
Kittys and chainsaws that’s a instant subscribe for me lol I got some videos of my tractors just got into the saws hope to get some videos up soon thanks for your time!
Loved the big Stihl with the 60 inch bar! When I was 16 years of age my dad bought a McCulloch SP-125 with a 36 inch bar from a logger friend so we could cut firewood to heat our house in the PNW. I run the saw for dad since I was a small engine enthusiast back in the late 70s.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 Agree, that saw hurt me more than once starting it up when I forgot to engage the compression release. It was a great saw that always started on the 3rd or 4th pull when cold. I believe it was the best tree falling muscle saw ever made.
I usually wear gloves when starting my biggest saws, as it is easy to hurt your hand otherwise. Your saw must have been in perfect tune to start in 3 to 4 pulls on the starter, as most don't start that easily. That shows your good skill as a mechanic. The last SP 125 was made in 1977, and only 45 years later, Stihl made a saw that is about equal in performance, the MS 880. The Mac SP 125 was and still is the KIng of all chainsaws !@@hawkhunter8180

I started collecting saws a long time ago, when no one was very interested in them, and their were still a lot of them around, so I was able to find some nice ones. I am going to cut up a 4 foot diameter tree for a friend soon and will do a video of it before too long. The 075 is a real oinker !
All I need now is some real big tree's ! Sometime this spring I will have access to a 4 foot tree to cut up, to see how the 075 Stihl does in real wood ! Will do a video on it.
The big Pioneers were used in commercial logging a lot, so there are not many around anymore, and since they are considered muscle saws, there is a demand for them and the collector prices are the result.
Greetings from down under. Just some chainsaw BS today,the clutch from a 52cc chinese chainsaw 6$ AU bolts strait on to a powermac 310,the clutch drum just needs a sleeve. Mac parts shipped down under can cost more than a slab of beer!! Stay out of that heat Man. Happy Trails Nick.
Good info on the clutch stuff. Me and my vintage saws don't run well in the hot weather. Fall is approaching, and that is when I get the most stuff done outdoors. Thanks for watching.
I have been looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint. The sheath on the Mono is great. I am trying to expand my collection but never seem to find much variety locally.
Most of the saws I have collected have been from a long time ago, when there wasnt much interest in them. The bar cover is a neat accessory, as it has Smokey The Bear on one side, and the MONO logo on the other side. I am sure it is a lot rarer than the saw. Thanks for the nice comment.
If I had to use modern saws, and had only two, one would be an ECHO CS 2511T top handle saw for light work, an the other would be about a 60cc Echo or Makita The Stihl and Huskys home owner grade saws are just too crappy to own.
I love my Mcculloch's, I own 7, 6 of them run but I mostly use the 1010 automatic, pm605 and a little 32cc. I love the pm700 but with the 28" bar it's only once in a while.
Got some nice saws in your collection I don’t think I would ever want a pioneer myself they’re just hard to find parts for I’ve been told especially because I believe Pioneer went out of business in 1985 I believe it was from what I read
Pioneer went out of business 1n 1983, re-formed as Pioneer Partner through 1988, and Poulan produced the big pioneers through 1992. All the small saws were phased out when Partner merged with the remains of Pioneer, and Poulan purchased the remains of the Pioneer Partner and continued the big Pioneer designs through 1992. Parts are hard to find, but if you find a complete saw in good working order, they will give excellent service for years, as they are very well built saws, and require simple maintenence.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 That’s what I’ve been told is that they are really Durable hard-working chainsaws just the fact about if you ever needed parts for one that’s what would steer me away from ever wanting to own one because there are some chainsaw companies that went out of business that still have a plethora of leftover parts around but Pioneer is just not one of those companies
Hey Mr. O. Very cool collection you have put together. Im just wondering if you have had the opportunity to do any milling with these old timers. My guess the P series Pioneer saws would do the job with their strong bottom end. As a retirement hobby I have started a little milling but I really dont want to put out the $ for one of these new saws with massive RPM. Hmmm Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for the nice comment and for watching. I have never done any milling, but a friend of mine did a lot of it using two Stihl 075's A Pioneer P60, P61 or P62 would do the job, but there are not many around. They were used in commercial logging a lot, and were just used up. Parts availability is very poor. I dont have any good recommendations for what to use.
Hi Mr obsolete.greetings from down under, hard wood central -AUS. My Solo 60135 105cc circa 1970 rips my hand off when starting. Any help appreaciated. Happy Trails.
Greetings ! On my biggest saws, I use a leather glove when pulling them over for starting, and I pull on the starter cord very slightly till the piston goes over top dead center, then give the starter rope a fast pull. This gives the flywheel a bit of momentum, and one is not pulling against compression. Works for me. I always prime the carb or pull the plug and put a small amount of fuel in the cylinder if the saw is cold. Watch my video (Mr. Obsolete Saves The Railroad) and I show how I do that on my Stihl 051. Thanks for watching.
Success! every thing is easy when you know how,pulled the plug,seemed to release the compression lock,gave the monster a squirt of Aero-start,replaced plug and started the saw, no broken fingers! U.S.A help much appreciated down under AUS. Does this mean i dont need a new saw? The local Sthill/Huski dealers will be pissed!! Cheers Nick.
Every saw has it's quirks, and learning them can be a bit of a challenge, but once figured out the saws are easier to work with. Thanks for the nice comment and for watching.@@nickmackey7234
Nice Vintage Saws Mr Obsolete I Love The Big Boy’s 😀😀😀 Thank You Mrs Obsolete Your Camera Work is Impeccable 😀😊👍🏼
Thank you for the nice comments, and for watching. Mrs. O appreciates the kind words.
Thats what I say to people who ask why I have so many saws. Because I can. Love the channel buddy

Nice memories. Running a Mac SP 125 is quite a special treat, as most were used in commercial logging and were quite challenging to start !

@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 The last big saw I ended up with was a Husqvarna 394. That saw too served me well over the years of logging.
One of the best Husky"s made.@@hawkhunter8180
I like silly saw! And the humor!!!
The silly saw will be in some big wood this spring, and it will be interesting to see how it performs. Thanks for the nice comment.

Great episode, love the Stihl 075 and cat is so cute.
I will be doing a video soon using the 075 and the 051. My little kitty, Fuzzy Wuzzy, is my constant companion.
nice classic power saws.. greetings from germany

Seeing all the saws is nice. The cat and watching “modern” homesteading, made me laugh. :) Thanks for sharing all your saws.
A little humor is good in these crazy times we live in. Thanks for watching.
Another great video.. Why not I say, get all you can!
Thanks for watching
It is good u take ur antique saws out n cut with em nice to keep em goin n nice to enjoy em alil bit.love ur saw collection sir.
Since I dont own any new saws, I just have to use all these old ones !
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 best ones for the job sir
Yes they are !@@justinweaver8787
60 inch bar wow
All I need now is some real big tree's ! Sometime this spring I will have access to a 4 foot tree to cut up, to see how the 075 Stihl does in real wood ! Will do a video on it.
Old power saws and a GMC square body in the background. Sweet
Vintage is best !
Another fine video, thanx!
Thank you too!
I enjoy all your videos I love the vintage saw that you showed thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Love this channel!!!
Thank you
It's awesome that you have a big collection. Old motor boat motors are cool also. Would love to see a black bear saw run.
We like our old junk !
Great video keep up the good work
Thanks, will do!
I cranked a P51 the other day in one pull. My buddy had rebuilt it from two junk saws. It was heavy. I ground start most saws.
Starting one of these big saws in one pull is better than usual, as mine usually need 3 to 4 pulls when cold. Ground starting these is best.
thats a big saw for an old boke ///well done
It's a big saw for almost anybody, including this old dude ! Thanks again for watching our video's.
What a collection. The Pioneers are know to be great saws. They are sure hard to find and expensive.

I wonder what two saws Mr. Modern would use. Thoughts?
The Silly Saw is one we all wish we had, just for the heck of it.
If I had to use modern saws, and had only two, one would be an ECHO CS 2511T top handle saw for light work, an the other would be about a 60cc Echo or Makita The Stihl and Huskys home owner grade saws are just too crappy to own.

You should be able to do just about any job with your collection.
