I really like your channel. You are a very smart man with a great attitude. I have used old chainsaws for many years. Just for cutting my families firewood. I always liked my xl12. A buddy of mine just gave me a pro mac 55 it's a pretty good saw to. I just want to say thank you for your videos. You are great.
Thank you buckin for taking the time to speak to us beginners. I would love to have a crane and a chipper with a 1000$ saw but I took my 50$ found an old mcculloch and got it running and I had never wrenched anything. I was also thinking i wish i had someone to show me how to round file as a beginner.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Buckin! And to all others watching and reading, Have the Happiest of Holidays! From rather frigid Northern Alberta ( minus 41 C right now), much love to all!
Merry Christmas Rob! Nice to meet you! Thanks for sharing those awesome and unique saws. Buckin, it is always a pleasure. I hope your mom and family have a fantastic evening!!
Nice to see Powersaw Rob out again been a hot minute since I remember seeing him on here lol take care everyone and keep warm everyone in Canada were getting thumped pretty hard by winter
Enjoyed this video...also "vintage" Buckin as well. :) BTW have a few loops of 1/2 round chain left, sprockets too for those old Homie's and the gear drive sprockets ( stars ) for those who really want to see how our dad's and granddad's did this stuff. Keeping some too for a couple of projects. :) Think some are 78's and some 84 link. Yours if you ever need one. Or two. Those old Homelite's were BUILT strong. And you kicked the bees next on the Green saw for me, ran them with "bow" bars cutting pulp as a kid, have a "line" on four of them now, just haven't bit.
Buckin, I have a 1959 Homelite wiz that has that same style of chain. I was banging my head against the wall trying to get a hook into that chain. This video was a big eye opener. Thanks pal. Hope you and the family are doing well.
Wow, always good when PSR turns up, i'm not sure what model homey you have there, but I have 2 x 9 -29s with governor's, they run 1/2 " pitch, as found the rakers were 60 thou down 😳 chain was worn out. Luckily I found an NOS 1/2" chain, Oregon beautiful chrome top chain, they don't make em like they used to, in all ways, not just chain ! Great to see an old vintage legend getting the BBR sharpening, PSR get that 36" on quick time, the GD needs that length I reckon !
Got myself a power saw bill ..your an inspiration to many ..done my first few trees caried out some necessary training the sky's the limit 💪.. Peace n love from Cumbria UK 🇬🇧 ❤️
Thank you for the insight on the round chain. Gonna try tune up my ripping chain the same way for my milling. I didnt realise that i was probably going to far under the top plate and getting that burr going slowing down my cuts and making the saw work harder and leaving too much raker. Take care and thanks again. Best of the holidays to you and your family.
Thanks Buckin. I've been trying to sharpen my Mac1-43 with a round chain and you're spot on with the top plate rolling back. I've been grinding it but it still doesn't cut Right. 👍
Hello Buckin' sir, I had to look trough your videos to find this one as I have one round ground chain and I have sharpened very aggressive and the chain with bitte and chadder due to the hook I have left. Thank you for your videos.
Hope ya's have a very Merry and blessed Christmas and a Healthy and happy new year Buckin and family and you too Rob, thanks again for sharing good people.
I file my saws the same I would rather be under it a little more than not enough! I mean either way your chains don’t last forever they are a consumed product yes you always want to get the most out of them because they aren’t getting cheaper. But at some point when cutting a lot of wood it’s just part of the job. But their are some chains that are so good right down to the last file and hate to see them go it’s just part of doing tree work! Love y’all great video Buckin happy holidays to everyone.🍻
Love it when you show and talk about vintage saws, no matter the brand. Seeing you working w/ older generation Huskies is what’s inspired me to get back in touch w/ my inner power saw geekness. Just purchased a used 395 XP to rebuild and put into the fleet…..any advice on that model from your many years of experience them? Cheers, and have a wonderful Christmas Buckin’. Keep the uplifting content coming brother.
Merry Christmas Buckin'.... Thank you for getting me through the hard times this summer! And thank you for teaching me how to file a power saw chain! Merry Christmas from mid Michigan!
Bring a box store husky 455 in build it up to pull a 28”-32” bar. Sounds almost impossible or almost as expensive to just buy a 90cc+ saw but I’m tempted to try it.
The first powersaw I ever ran in the mid 1970's was an old gear drive David Bradley from the 1950's. It wasn't fast, but you could not dog it out. dig the dogs in and give it shot of oil every once in a while. I have no idea if it was 9/16. .404 or what pitch but it was a cutter.
A 900 series homelite I sure would like to find one them in decent shape. My dad logged with one. I started sawing with it when I was a teenager. That thing turn you into a man real fast.
So the stihl dealer sold me a 13/64 files and now after 2 sharpening jobs on my chain i notice the top plate looks thin very thin. Glad you confirmed my suspicion that the 13/64 is to small. Probably need to move on to the 7/32
I'll tell you what bucking I've been cutting like I told you for 20 years I'm 39 I started when I was 18. 3/8 chain always ran always use 3/8 file until I watched one of your videos I've been following you for a long time I'm sure you said it before but in the last 2 months I watched a video of yours and you said use of 404 file for 3/8 chain I think it's 7/32 I believe what a difference using that size file with a 3/8 chain I get them sharper than ever thank you God bless
A great saw and with a good chain it will cut better I looked in a skip and found two saws no bars or chains tank had petrol in and oil found a bar and some chain started ok but I put a new plug in and was running half way to be better. But would not tick over filter off and the tick over screwed right in, got her running and onto tick over so bar on and chain one adjust oil pump because it was hard wood was to get cuttung pulling in great set tick over and give it some work and stopped check plug perfect good colour and it was a big old husky heavy the next was a old still checked every thing new bar and a new chain but was very noisy cut well run well but the noise to the exhaust of no padding nothing so of it cam down to the scrap bin got a good on and put it on, it was a different saw pull well all I did let the saw pull it self in a great big but heavy saw checked the plug perfect colours when I first got the saws they went into my car boot he came back did you see any one take the saw away, no but you know what it's like in the skip it's any one. And have a happy Christmas and a happy healthy safe new year
so while your going after the hook your also creating a ski ramp..do ya leave it till after a couple sharpenings and then take it down even..if ya try and take out the ramp first don't ya end up with a wider opening at the base of the tooth making it so the file has a larger gap at the top and middle making the "C"..just an observation...thks for sharing with us...
You’ve taught me so much about what a dance that hook and top plate is all about. With the 3/16 file I get too much hook on a new tooth, but with the 7/32 the tooth is aggressive but doesn’t roll as easy. Thanks for that.
Great to see, the vintage saw Billy, i was dealin with one myself, also with a round chain on it, it had the same issue...no gullet. wich i sorted the same as you did. I'm also lookin around to put a longer bar on it. 28 a 30 inch (now has a 21 inch) but they are quite expensive overhere. what do you recommend...solid nose or bearing.... thanks for all the great videos have a merry Christmas and a healty new year...
Buckin makes me want to find an old saw to fix up and put back in service. God knows I could use a few more inches. 14" just isn't going to cut what I have on the ground.
Hey Buckin. I scored a good running dolmar 7300 but it doesn't have a bar. I plan on getting a 28 inch Husqvarna light bar, do I need a 92 or 93 drive link chain?
Thank you for the videos I've been learning a lot I'm very inexperienced I have a craftsman 50cc and I just can't figure out the sharpening technique I bought a Stihl 2 in 1 worked it over it cut better but didn't last long I think I might need a regular file to really work on the hook your referring to. What the best Rager gage do you recommend? Thank you!
I really like your channel. You are a very smart man with a great attitude. I have used old chainsaws for many years. Just for cutting my families firewood. I always liked my xl12. A buddy of mine just gave me a pro mac 55 it's a pretty good saw to. I just want to say thank you for your videos. You are great.
It's always a good session when Powersaw Rob stops by!

I been a subscriber for years and always smile due to Buckin's passion and expertise on hand filing

Hey Buckin, love these old saws and the torque they make !!!

Thank you ROB 🦾 buckin great work on the file. I’ve learned so much from your videos. 🙏❤️🔥🧬☀️
Thats proper ol chipper chain....tough as nails. Hard nose stellite tip. Like the D-9 of chainsaws.
Buckin is an old school tree guy Man some of these other tree channels bring out so much modern heavy equipment its crazy
Watching Buckin file is like watching Bob Ross paint. 🙂

Great old saws.Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a great New year.Tell the next one buddy take care.
Bring a box store husky 455 in build it up to pull a 28”-32” bar. Sounds almost impossible or almost as expensive to just buy a 90cc+ saw but I’m tempted to try it.
perfect timing on the upload. I was looking for something good to watch.
Merry Christmas to you and the family old buddy and to all the subscribers

Hi Wendy seen you sneaking in the background getting some wood. You have an awesome wife Mr.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, great saws , thanks for sharing your invaluable knowledge 👍

Winters don't look too bad up there
Rob is on to something .404 an 36in bar with o yea!!!
So the stihl dealer sold me a 13/64 files and now after 2 sharpening jobs on my chain i notice the top plate looks thin very thin. Glad you confirmed my suspicion that the 13/64 is to small. Probably need to move on to the 7/32

Mr buckin i would love to meet you one day my man!!!
Very good filing training! Who's splittin' wood behind Sylvia?😀
Old gear drive saws are the best! Dig the dogs in and pull up on the rear handle and listen to em sing and throw wood chips.
picked up a tool kit for adjusting the newer factory jets for like 9.bucks on amazon. cheers
i have the poulan 3400 counter vibe and love it...
Hey Buckin. I scored a good running dolmar 7300 but it doesn't have a bar. I plan on getting a 28 inch Husqvarna light bar, do I need a 92 or 93 drive link chain?
Powersaw Rob and the Tailgates? Did Buckin' start a new band?! Look out Clay Walker, Buckin' is comin for ya!

I had always thought the Poulan’s were low level downgraded versions of Husky’s. This was cool to see
Nice video. Hook me up with a good quality double bit handle... i cant find one worth a darn. Keep on keeping on
