Haven't seen an old Skilsaw in a long time! I used to work for Skil power tool years ago rebuilding anything and everything! I enjoyed the work. Always something new. Thanks for the memories!
Thanks LD. I'm glad you enjoyed the old saw vid! I get a lot of negative comments on this video because its not a "proper" restoration. Thanks for the positive comment.
For $20 that's one great find! Glad to see it come back to life with a little TLC. I still have a bunch of my grandfather's old tools. Find I use them more than my own. Can't beat quality craftsmanship.
There was some construction going on near by, about the time you started cutting wood, the smell of fresh cut wood had made its way to me!! My Dad has his Dad's Skilsaw, looks a lot like the one you have. First time I got to use it was helping Dad build the garage addition,about 50 years ago! Grandpa showed me how to be safe with it and Dad how to build a garage . . .
I worked with my cousin Jim from 2003 to 2008 and he had a worm drive just like that. I haven’t heard that sound in a long time. Brings back memories. Great restoration video, Dave. Thanks!
Someone broke into my shed 2010 and stole all my mom’s tools. She had an old Skil just like that. Worked great. Just had blades sharpened then stolen!! Along with all old wood planes, awls etc. very saddened. Police said that old not worth much!! I told them my mind!! Love this video.
Great video Dave. Cleaning that gear box reminds me of my youth when we used to dump coal oil (kerosene) in our cars oil pan to flush out the engine before an oil change. Mine was a great old 6cyl 1952 Chevy, was a great car. It was something we thought needed done back then :-) Of course in those days there were still some "non detergent" motor oils around that were supposedly paraffin based. Hard to beat a worm drive saw, plenty of power. I like old things, just makes me feel good and comfortable :-)
I like old stuff too. Speaking of Kerosene and oil, I used to have a Ford 860 tractor and in the manual it says ( during winter months drain One quart of oil and replace it with one quart of kerosene ) ....old school winter viscosity.
All the companies that make saws have worm drive versions.....what you find is they are popular or unpopular based on geographic region. On the west coast, worm drives are everywhere...Alaska too......In the mid-west....9 out of 10 people have never seen one, and "sidewinder" saw are the king.
Man A lot of musical instruments were made in Chicago.....I wonder if there is any musical instrument companies left there. Valco was in Chicago, Harmony, Kay, ( I think). I have 2 Chicago harmonys on the wall right now....an acoustic guitar and a baritone Ukulele.
I just got a saw just like this. Spent the last few days cleaning it. It was packed with old saw dust but gunk engine degreaser and hot water works great. The gearbox was empty but clean as a whistle. I'm giving it to my dad who's right hand is too messed up to grip things tightly.
@@Bushradical that's cool. My landfill sells stuff dirt cheap. They had another metal case saw but it was missing parts so I didn't take it but now I kinda wish I did.
I remember back when I started carpentry I used those saws. They like to give you a lil tickle if you know what I mean especially in humid or wet conditions. Great video Dave thanks for posting.
I got a vintage Skilsaw at a second hand store on my way to our cabin in Minnesota (after my cheap sidewinder saw croaked.) Of course the old Skilsaw works but it could use a bit of TLC so I was looking on UA-cam for tips. The old saw is a beast and it weighs as much as one too! I was already a subscriber and happy to see the Bushradical approach. Thanks for the video Dave!
I found an old Craftsman Jig saw about the same vintage as your circular saw and restored it. It's a beast and one of my favorite saws. They sure don't build things like they useta. Thanks for another great restoration video. Hey if this is what it takes to be an Alaskan I think I might make a fair Alaskan someday.
Your supposed to do that with gear cases. I read it on the Wheel horse tractor forum to flush the transmission with diesel to get all the gunk out of you wheel horse tractor ( to other old garden tractor) figured it would work good for this saw too.
The things you notice when watching a video... I have about a hundred of those Dei Fratelli tomato product cans too, they're the bomb for just about anything because they're larger than your standard can and they're lined so not much sticks inside them. Very useful for brushes both when you're painting with them and when you're cleaning them. Another good video, thanks.
Nice saw. Needs the air vents and cooling fins cleaned for sure. Mine is a little older. The name plate is a tag on yours. Mine has the name etched into it. They didn't change much over the years.
is that a tune up or a restoration? i may be wrong but i thought that a restoration included a complete tear down, inspection, repair and replacement of demaged components
How did the bar oil work out? I bought the same saw at a flea market about 15 years ago and still use it occasionally. It came in the same style of case and even had an original tube of Skil brand grease/lube...it wasn't oil. I use 00 grease in it now. It works well and doesn't seep or leak out.
I grew up on a commercial fishing boat and the smell of diesel has bad memories. Cleaning 100s of fish off the stern of the boat in rolling seas. But great times too. Thanks
I swear I took Woodshop, but I've never heard of a skill saw! 😮 now I want one! (Good thing I'm only 16 so there's a reason I don't know everything! 😆)
Hey BB. Skil is a brand name. If you go into a Lowes or a Home Depot, you'll find all kinds of stuff with the Skil name on it. "not to be confused with skill" .
I sold a vintage drill press to a guy and he was so into old power tools, I gave him that saw. So Its out of my hands now.....But I wouldn't be surprised if that guy fixes it up good.
I have a similar 77 model 9. I'm not sure when it was manufactured and I have not been able to find a history of the model numbers. Unfortunately they are hard to find parts for. mine leaks oil because the seal has failed, but they can run forever with minimal oil in them, at least for occasional DYI projects.
Great timing. I have a 1950's saw in case sitting in my shop for a couple of years waiting for me to give it a good over. I don't think it was hardly ever used but I think I will give it a good cleaning anyways. I was think of using some sea foam that they use for cleaning car engines, what are your thoughts about how that would work or would you just stick with the diesel. Thanks for sharing.
The diesel is an oil......its thin but its an oil. I don't know a thing about Seafoam. I know people swear by that stuff for just about everything. I would probably stick with fuel oil/diesel.
I would never use Bar and Chain lube in anything beyond wheel barrow and law mower wheels. That worm drive has extreme load on those gears and should have a lube with the right properties. I'd first check to see what other word drive saws use for lube. Many recommend 90w and 85-140 gear lube OR simply get the Skill oil from the box store.
Nice to see it running again, but please do be careful about the electrics! I've picked up an old 40s-50s Black and Decker 'Ripsnorter' circular saw (worm drive, 9", with original box not unlike yours) and while I know I can look after the mechanical side, you can bet I'm taking it to a shop to overhaul the motor and make sure it's safe. And if it can't be made safe, it's gonna be one hell of a conversation piece in my shop...
I like the way you cleaned out the oil. Is Brooke the culprit of the ice cream buckets? Lol. It’s okay, my wife is the same way..... I just take advantaged it. Lol
I just bought one at an auction for 7 bucks, blades, case and jury-rigged power cord included. It's bigger than newer saws, it probably weighs 10 or 15 pounds for anyone unfamiliar. I was certainly suprised at it. The one thing I'm curious about is the clattering/knocking noise that it started making at the end of the video. What was that about?
The bar oil is the thickest stuff I had, so I dumped it in...but I know you're right, I should load it up with Skil saw oil. I'm in Alaska right now and worm drive saws are very popular here so its easy to find.....but I shot this video in Michigan and a lot of people have never even "seen" a worm drive saw there......everyone has sidewinders.
@@Bushradical haha that answers my question. He does teardowns of tools and he did one on this model saw. He also mentioned he was sending it to a UA-camr to restore it. You gotta check him out if you haven't. AvE
Dave, Thanks for another interesting video. Do you have any plans to replace motor brushes or any internal parts? It appears that Sears www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/825type11/0981/0744410.html and Ebay have a limited selection of selection of parts for your model. Sears Parts Direct has a couple of good parts diagrams. Your cabin building may call more for chain saw than Skil Saw. Nonetheless the vintage model 825, complete with case, will come in handy. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks. Thats super interesting that you can still find parts for that saw. I wonder if the guts are the same as the mag77. They still make those and they are everywhere. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
You know it sucks...I deleted that footage! I might try to pull it into Imove from youtube. I'll be lucky to get 1,000 views on the saw restoration project....but I bet a 20 second Loop of the mouse flying out of the air compressor ( again and again) would be huge!
Crap........I looked through all my deleted footage and finally found the clip. I copied it over and over...I was laughing my but off....then I did a frame in slow motion......then I cropped it .......and that when I saw it was actually a beach tree leaf. There goes my 1000000 view video
Darn those beech leaves, I put in slow-mo again and saw it too! Was this cropped more than at first? It seemed to be much clearer than the first few times I watched it....Oh well, if your place is like mine, there's probably a few mice running around.....just a matter of time!!! :)
Nice country up there. I bought a wheel horse tractor up by Mio this fall , buts thats as close as Ive got to your neck of the woods. You really have to be "going to Alpena" to get to Alpena.
You entitled your video as restoration not service. To restore you would have had to do a tear down and all components checked. Any parts that are not "serviceable" are replaced after a thorough cleaning. That Sir is a restoration.
You're right. I won't argue that point at all. I could have titled it vintage Skil saw service, but it likely wouldn't have got half the views , because the term service just isn't searched for like the term "restoration " is. I just wanted to title the video in a way people could find it, that were looking for videos on Old Saws.
Haven't seen an old Skilsaw in a long time! I used to work for Skil power tool years ago rebuilding anything and everything! I enjoyed the work. Always something new. Thanks for the memories!

Sure is fun using the old stuff.

Thats awesome.
Received this exact saw from my past father. It is a beast. Good tips on cleaning up as this one needs it too.
I worked with my cousin Jim from 2003 to 2008 and he had a worm drive just like that. I haven’t heard that sound in a long time. Brings back memories. Great restoration video, Dave. Thanks!
Definitely check the brushes.
Pull the armature out and clean out the air path for the motor cooling.
Thanks.
The sound effects alone were priceless!! Haha! I have one of those but it's not that old. Love it!
Someone broke into my shed 2010 and stole all my mom’s tools. She had an old Skil just like that. Worked great. Just had blades sharpened then stolen!! Along with all old wood planes, awls etc. very saddened. Police said that old not worth much!! I told them my mind!!
Love this video.
Awesome! That saw is a piece of history. I can’t believe it was so cheap.
It was a fun project.
I still have a Skil worm drive saw from the 1970's. After you use one of these, you'll be spoiled. I love you channel.
Great video Dave. Cleaning that gear box reminds me of my youth when we used to dump coal oil (kerosene) in our cars oil pan to flush out the engine before an oil change.

I love that this skil saw was saved and not tossed in the city dump
Nice one. Never seen one of those worm drives.. very glad to see good old tools brought back to life.
All the companies that make saws have worm drive versions.....what you find is they are popular or unpopular based on geographic region. On the west coast, worm drives are everywhere...Alaska too......In the mid-west....9 out of 10 people have never seen one, and "sidewinder" saw are the king.
How interesting! Had to look it up. They are not sold here. I imagine the balance in hand is better with the motor oriented like that.
I framed houses for years! That's a great Saw!!!! Great video Dave!
I've had a mag 77 Skil, and I use a Makita worm drive mostly. Love my worm drive saws.
Bushradical worm drive saws rule the school! I swear you're a brother from another mother!
Ludwig drums use to be made in Chicago! They're made in Monroe NC now.... LoL
Right on!
Man A lot of musical instruments were made in Chicago.....I wonder if there is any musical instrument companies left there. Valco was in Chicago, Harmony, Kay, ( I think). I have 2 Chicago harmonys on the wall right now....an acoustic guitar and a baritone Ukulele.
Was hoping Dad's old Skill saw was worth more.... but! Loved the rebuild!!! ❤❤
"This is startin to look like the blues.." That cracked me up!
Nice restoration Dave!
Thanks!
I just got a saw just like this. Spent the last few days cleaning it. It was packed with old saw dust but gunk engine degreaser and hot water works great. The gearbox was empty but clean as a whistle. I'm giving it to my dad who's right hand is too messed up to grip things tightly.
Awesome. Good thing your gear box is clean, thats a big plus! Peavey saws but they are sure built to last.
@@Bushradical I like to tool shop at antique stores because of tools like this. I found this saw at my local landfill store for $5.
wow, thats almost free!!! I bought an Atlas bench saw yesterday for $25. Its like a table saw but about half the size.
@@Bushradical that's cool. My landfill sells stuff dirt cheap. They had another metal case saw but it was missing parts so I didn't take it but now I kinda wish I did.

good job dave you probably have the best skill saw in the state

Yeah it needs a Diablo fine tooth.

Hey Bob, your totally right. Those cans are perfect. Brooke makes pizza every Friday so we have tons of those cans around.
All of their products are good but Dei Fratelli makes the best canned pizza sauce I've ever had.
Nice saw. Needs the air vents and cooling fins cleaned for sure. Mine is a little older. The name plate is a tag on yours. Mine has the name etched into it. They didn't change much over the years.
Awesome. Ive never seen one older than this, I'll try to find you saw in pics on the internet. You must have one of the earliest ones?
Sounds great with the solvent
is that a tune up or a restoration?
i may be wrong but i thought that a restoration included a complete tear down, inspection, repair and replacement of demaged components
No, you're probably right....I didn't really go very far into it.
not a major concern. probably soon you'll show us how to replace demaged components on it 😀
nope. Thats as far as I ever went with this saw. I shouldn't have used the word "restoration" I just wanted it to work and not be full of sludge.
Great video Bushradical I have an older metal trigger 367 skilsaw I wish that I could find out the year I have owned it for well over 20 years now.
right on! Love those old tools
Very nice!
Thanks
Beautiful saw!
Thank you very much!
you did a good cleaning, but the saw deserved a complete restoration. Send me what I do ... kkkkk I'm close, I'm in Brazil ... kkkk
I gave it away to a fella who bought a nice old drill press of mine.....
How did the bar oil work out? I bought the same saw at a flea market about 15 years ago and still use it occasionally. It came in the same style of case and even had an original tube of Skil brand grease/lube...it wasn't oil. I use 00 grease in it now. It works well and doesn't seep or leak out.
It worked OK, but the Skil lube that you can buy is thicker by quite a bit
I was wondering about that. I have a model67 that has a sight glass on the side. Gear lube or 00 marfak grease.
I grew up on a commercial fishing boat and the smell of diesel has bad memories. Cleaning 100s of fish off the stern of the boat in rolling seas. But great times too.

Oh!! Ok now I get it.
@@Bushradical I have a modern saw by Skil. It's plastic etc and is about 25 years old, really nicely made though and works like new.
Just nodded one on Ebay! Going to restore it like you!
I'd love to find one and restore it. Have two old Sidewinders
Great video
Thanks

Bearings and brushes would help too, probably can still get them too

And if it can't be made safe, it's gonna be one hell of a conversation piece in my shop...
right on
There's an oil blow out hole behind the blade that's why there's always oil and saw dust back there .
I just picked up the model saw before this. 1942 to 45 date
Wow that oil wash out did the trick...
Thanks Jeff
I was here 3 years ago and im curious to see if you still have this saw?
I like the way you cleaned out the oil. Is Brooke the culprit of the ice cream buckets? Lol. It’s okay, my wife is the same way..... I just take advantaged it. Lol
No, its not Brooke....She loves her ice cream, but if I go shopping ....one of those gallon buckets always follows me home. lol
Can't blame saw put a carbide in there it's like new now.
I just bought one at an auction for 7 bucks, blades, case and jury-rigged power cord included. It's bigger than newer saws, it probably weighs 10 or 15 pounds for anyone unfamiliar. I was certainly suprised at it. The one thing I'm curious about is the clattering/knocking noise that it started making at the end of the video. What was that about?
I think it was just a bit loose in general but the lube it had in it was as thick as wax and kept it quiet......
me too i happen to have a few emptied ice cream tubs, dunno why! what saw do you like best between your Skil and your Makita?
Were you able to find a pets list for it or an original manual?
When does the restoration start?
Sorry , it was more of a put-back-in-service video.
@@Bushradical cool.
i was wondering this same. this hardly qualifies as a clean up let alone restoration.
You just destroyed the seal in that saw and put the wrong weight lube in! Better store over a pan of speedy dry
Well it didn't need a seal in the first place the "oil" that was in the saw had the consistency of roofing tar. It was almost a putty.
Are you still able to buy blades fir it?
did Ron Swanson give you any tips for this Andy?
Andy?
You’ve got a new subscriber! =)
Thanks Rocky! I appreciate the sub!
Bushradical =)
Awesome
Thanks
Bro it needs a diablo blade
Skil saw lube is available for purchase.
The lube recommended by skil is crazy thick. I wouldn't run that chain lube in it. Your gears will wear out within a year
The bar oil is the thickest stuff I had, so I dumped it in...but I know you're right, I should load it up with Skil saw oil. I'm in Alaska right now and worm drive saws are very popular here so its easy to find.....but I shot this video in Michigan and a lot of people have never even "seen" a worm drive saw there......everyone has sidewinders.
My blade guard doesn't have the handle ?!! That's weird 🤔 same saw minis the blade guard handle !
My old Skil saw is supposed to have a blade guard??? Broke that back in the early 90's!
You should take a look at the motor bearings too, Doesnt sound right.
Or its just old motor design, todays tools just start and stop within a second.
Most of the stuff I build is Log and I cut with a chainsaw 90% of the time. I probably won't use this much to be honest.
Once you hit the trigger that blade guard will snap back. It's nothing wrong with it they're all slow like that when they're not running
was this the saw ave tore down?
I would love to have one of these. Does anyone know where to find one
Ebay or Facebook Marketplace
I have one but i am in Arizona it doesn't work but haven't bother to check it out
I just got one
The trigger stick on tho
Was this from AvE?
?
@@Bushradical haha that answers my question. He does teardowns of tools and he did one on this model saw. He also mentioned he was sending it to a UA-camr to restore it. You gotta check him out if you haven't. AvE
It wasnt me he sent it to. I bought it at a second hand shop
I want to buy that saw. Do you still have it? Would you sell it?
its not for sale sorry
@@Bushradical
Okay, I tried. Good luck with it. It's a gem!
Don’t run bar fluid in that’s saw, Get some skill lubricating oil. It’s only $5.50 at Lowe’s
8 fl. oz tube is $5.98 at Amazon in 2022.
Sounds like the next video on this old beauty will be the bearings.
We shall see
Good job Dave. Brian 77
Thanks Brian.
Did you replace the brushes?
No i didn't
You sound like Red on the Red Green Show.
Red Green is a personal hero of mine.
I actually met him in Fairbanks Alaska one year. Super cool guy.
Dave, rename the video, Awakening Sleeping Beauty! ;-)
lol, its a cool old saw, but I don't know that its beautiful.
Oil change and and compressed air hardly qualifiy as restoration.
You're right. But titling the video....."Oil change and compressed air cleaning of a vintage Skil Saw " would be a lot less searchable.
BAR AND CHAIN OIL HAS PARAFFIN IN IT. WON'T THAT GUM UP THE GEARS
I have no idea. The stuff that was in the gear box was almost putty it was so old and dried out.
Dave, Thanks for another interesting video. Do you have any plans to replace motor brushes or any internal parts? It appears that Sears www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/825type11/0981/0744410.html and Ebay have a limited selection of selection of parts for your model.

Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks. Thats super interesting that you can still find parts for that saw. I wonder if the guts are the same as the mag77. They still make those and they are everywhere. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
Put a Diablo blade on it
I have Diablos on all my user saws. Great blades.
Слишком мало работы, слишком много слов.
Hey Dave, cool project! Was I seeing things or did a mouse jump off your air compressor when you fired it up @ 3:25?
OHHHHhhhhh. I never saw that in editing. Me and my daughter are laughing our butts off.
:)
You know it sucks...I deleted that footage! I might try to pull it into Imove from youtube. I'll be lucky to get 1,000 views on the saw restoration project....but I bet a 20 second Loop of the mouse flying out of the air compressor ( again and again) would be huge!

Do you live in the UP or LP of Michigan?
we're in the Northern lower Peninsula in the winter and interior Alaska in the warm moths.
Bushradical Nice. I live in Alpena.
Nice country up there. I bought a wheel horse tractor up by Mio this fall , buts thats as close as Ive got to your neck of the woods. You really have to be "going to Alpena" to get to Alpena.
Bushradical That's very true. And deer season is a holiday over here.
Restoration??? ...change oil and nothing more.
Disgusting bla bla bla and, annoying "soundtracks".
Anything else you want to add?
That's NOT a restoration. Its a service. Not even a complete one at that!
What is more searchable....."Service" or "restoration"?
