Rich oldie but a goodie 😊😊😊

I thought that electronic on the tag meant no Bosch ignition.

That was cool, I'd love to see more cool shit like that around

Right on 👍…some of those old saws are like the guy who ran them…no quit in them, ready to go to work anytime, just might move a little slower than when they were in their prime 😎👍…nothing but respect! I restored a 056 Magnum a couple years ago, it was a full wrap, guy who worked for me about 6 years ago ended up with it after his Dad passed…it had sat in the basement and was pitted, fuel line and ignition were toast, but he was so happy to have it back running…he was telling me how he used to get to do some maintenance on it for his dad when he was a teenager…pretty special to be part of that 😉👍

Those coils are like hen’s teeth.

Very cool old saw. My question is what in the heck happened to those poor batteries on the back of the bench and was that middle one in a saw when it happened?

Thanks Richard. The older I get, the more I appreciate old things, especially keeping old machinery running.

Back when your saws were designed to last and able to be serviced in the field by the owner. I sure do miss the simplicity of equipment.

When things been build to last, still run today like a champion... I highly doubt u will see modern saws will last that long...

👍👍unmolested nice saw. Happy 4th

My 075av is getting a 48" some 056s' had points

Thanks for sharing the old 056AV SUPER workhorse Richard. I have it’s little brother, my Dad’s old 1982 034AV and I have to say that it’s technically no longer a one owner saw, it’s been mine for many a year now, but it will always be a one owner to me because I swear since I got it running right, and it really came to life with a dual exhaust port but it’s mostly stock, i see my Dad right there alongside me when I was a boy showing me how to run “his” saw. It was no bs with him, and if I was the handler of the saw, I was also the maintainer. That is why today, my old 034AV looks much like the 056AV that this gentleman has. I’ll never give her up, but maybe someday I can pass it to a real “second” owner and like my Dad I’ll be right along side the young man. Happy 4th of July y’all!

Wow ! The best equipment ever back then 👍

That would be the greatest surprise when that beauty fired. Surprise!

Right out of high-school I went to work in a log yard in Port Angeles WA bucking logs for the scalers and I used a 056 super. Absolute beast! We also had a 084 to buck the old growth spruce and cedar! Good old saws!

Great saw,and a great video Richard. Hope you are having a great Independence Day. See you next time.

Somehow this was a great Fourth of July saw even being German. Lol. Thanks for showing us this old gem and mentioning the rarity of that bar. It was fun watching that beast torque through the wood. I was 8 years old living on a college campus while my mom finished school at the time.

Oldie but a goodie! Thanks for sharing👍🏻 Happy Independence day! I also keep most of my old spark plugs🤪

Nice One just wanted to say Happy 4th to everyone have a great day and God Bless everyone out there

Jerry’s saw was a little smaller (55+ cc) and a couple of years more recent. It sounded a *LOT* like this one. It had a shorter bar - about 28 inches or so.

I was married in 1988 at the ripe age of 23. Seems like it was only a few years ago. Looks like my marriage wasn't the only great thing that came out of '88. Happy Independence Day to my American friends.

They don't have the cutting speed but man those old saws were built well !

Hi Richard, i have 2 056 magnums that have 54mm bores the same as supers. The magnum 2 is the one that has a 56mm bore. I bought them as parts saws so i tore them down and was expecting to see 56mm but i was not happy to see 54mm on both.

Yeah i have more saws of that era stihl than newer the 051 is the one that got me started getting older saws love the way it cuts and sounds, very neat good footage amazing quality

Cool ol 1 owner saw Richard 👍👍

I have the super. Runs really good. Worried about replacement parts. Especially ignition. Is there places to get new?

What is the weight of that old horse?

Needs a Richard Flagg port job!

Good old fashioned arm stretcher.

Wow keren. Saya pernah pake mesin itu. Tangguh bertenaga. Cuma di karet bodi nya sangat rawan. Dan parts nya susah di sini

Happy 4th Richard!!

Live oak is wicked tough to cut and will wear you out loading limbs into a trailer. It is the most common hardwood in my area of Texas except for maybe mesquite but mesquite can be mechanically cleared.

What a beautiful saw. I guess there’s some gems still out there. Happy Independence Day and God Bless America 🇺🇸

Happy Independence Day

Mesin husqvarna 394 itu sangat bertenaga. Sayangnya parts nya susah di sini bos

Hi and thanks for sharing, appreciated. Saw chain is designed for a cross cutting tooth to leave the guide bar and take chips in an efficient chipping motion. It can plane off noodles with the grain but it's engineered cross cutting action is a dynamic rocking action that happens automatically through the forces and reactions from when the wood strikes the leading edge, through rivet pivots, pivoting/rocking on cutting tooth heels and pivoting on the depth gauge. The slopes on the top plate also take part in what can and can't happen. Sources: _‘Dan Tilton Chainsaw Safety’_ vid from the 80’s - is on YT and _‘Carlton Safety Manual’_ an online pdf, p6. The Tilton vid, from the 80's talks of how the depth gauge should progressively increase from 25 though to almost double that at the witness marks. I'm not sure if that's really the best but it seems the progressive depth gauges give better cutting results especially as the teeth get to and beyond half filed away. All the best and thanks again for sharing sincerely d

When all else fails replace the coil. yeah trying to get a bad coil that won't Not show fire can be aggravating it's all get out. I've seen them show all types of different symptoms from running poorly when you first started and running great when it gets hot to running great when you first started and crapping out when it gets hot. Acting like it's starving for fuel all the time showing fire. Try to keep a bunch of test coils laying around the shop. When everything else checks out I'll throw one of them on problem solved. Maybe about 45 minutes later

Isn’t it bad to run at high revs with no load? Damages piston?

Proof is in the pudding... Good quality oil is cheaper then a full engine rebuild...

You video was so educational. I use to do some small work on these back when I was firefighting. But lost most of the tear down. With you making small mistakes and mentioning what could go wrong and how to correct it, really was good information. And yes, I did stay till the end. What good is it to try and learn from an expert, if you don't listen and watch everything you need to know. That's like reading a book and stopping mid way, then trying to tell the story as if you read the whole book. Thank you for this and I will definitely keep you in mind and continue referencing back to get more training. 👍

I just watched a project farm vid on chainsaw bar oil, he did quite extensive testing and found the cheapest bar oil performed the best in every test, harvest king brand. The Stihl performed the worst and had the least (almost non-existent) wear inhibitor additives in the oil. Funny how the guys selling you bars and chains have the worst oil and causes them to wear out.

Interesting video, it's worth noting that the Hipa chain was the only one that was so-called safety chain.

Hi Richard, what's the best way to get in touch with you?

Oh, good. I thought I was being F.U.D.D. by using a graduated cylinder for oil measurements.

Good videos you got. I had some stihl ultra as well, I was gonna try but not after watching your videos on it for my saws, but however I just recently mixed my outboard tank at 42-1 so can get rid of what I have. Not sure if good idea or not but figured a outboard runs cooler as its water cooled. Lol! So if you think is bad idea don't be afraid to reply back your thoughts.

You seem to always have the sniffle Richards. You got bad sinus my friend ?

Im running 32 to 1 in my stihl bg86 for 10 years now. Got rid of the spark arrestor. About 7 hrs a yr of intermittent throttle use with a minute of wide open throttle per use. Spark plug is brown color and doesn't foul out. If your spark plug doesn't foul out, you're not using too much oil. Thankyou for the video.

I wonder why you say dominator gums up. My 5yrs of use and engine building 100% proves that to be completely wrong. It is by far the cleanest oil. I cannot find another oil that even is comparable.

I been running royal purples air cooled oil. I like it

Hey Mr flagg... I'm wanting someone to port a new 550xp mark 2. I'm from Smyrna TN and don't know anyone in my area that does that kinda work. Could you recommend me someone who I could send my saw to that would do me right. I'm looking for someone dependable and trustworthy and not someone who will just rip me off or even steal my saw. I'm a truck driver but use saws alot on our farm so not needing a race saw but something that's still very impressive to grab a hold of. Any advice or direction would be great
