Thanks! It is pretty exciting after doing a lot of work to it

@braedentesterman5369 Sure thing! that'll be the next video. I'll work on getting the edits done this week

@@theoccasionalfarmboy Awesome, looking forward to it!

Thanks for the tip! It was running better when I started it up again after I got it home and seemed to run much cleaner. I've been doing an overhaul on the machine for the last year that I've been documenting and am currently getting it all painted up, so I should have a first start video coming in a few months. Will have to see if it does ol'smokey again

Ya, I messed that up. Had to rewatch to realize I said Swedish 🫣

Came with the unit when it was bought. It has been since sold, and the owner put on much brighter LEDs. You local farm supply/ dealer should have what you need. Just keep an eye on lumens rating and colour of light

Sure does! It needs an overhaul itself, but just limping it along until I finish this project up. I love my wooden safety shoes too!

Time crunch is on and real for the end of the year 😆

Me too

Cheers to that! Really fine engineering there

​@happyjohn8256 it's a good point. However, users are reporting generally pretty decent results. I won't be surprised it will become more and more commonplace as end users feel that historically trusted companies increasingly don't have their consumers backs. For example, loblaws, apple etc. In the chainsaw world, the mainstays of Stihl and Husqvarna are increasingly being left aside for 3rd best Echo and then Chinese. Personally, I rather buy once cry once, but can totally understand the balance of cost vs longevity. And as an aside the whole idea of Chinese is junk is no longer true. There are some really good work done in China and tons upon tons of unnecessary garbage. I'd rather not support them but that's very hard when everything comes from there..... even if it doesn't say China something likely was used from there. I don't want to support russia either but found out my tires were made in Russia by a supposedly Finish tire brand. Anyways, comments support the occasional farm boy!

It's all calcium to prevent any freezing of the water

@@theoccasionalfarmboy I didn't even know you filled tires with water.

Thankfully not! The Tire ended up being patched with silicone before I purchased it, and I guess that's where I decided to blow.

I love my wooden safety shoes 😆

I haven't seen any specs about the play. On the forums, they said to just crank the end castle nut up hard and should be good. That's what I ended up doing. Otherwise, it'd have to be brought to a machine shop built up and the teeth re- ground. There are not a lot of options, really.

Hope you're having fun while at it. Can be a daunting task, but getting through it wasn't so bad.

Thanks! I must say it was a surprise as to how well it went and turned out!

Almost turned into a deere myself🤣

What did you think of my cheater jb weld paste. Is there a better way or no alternative unless I'm better at welding/ fabricating

@@theoccasionalfarmboy I have used lead as a filler as well as brazing. When I made my centrifuge heater tank for recycling veggie oil I used epoxy to fill my weld holes. If it works it works!

Great Machines! Lots of power packed in the same footprint as a garden tractor

@@theoccasionalfarmboy yes they are wonderful looking for one to go with my Chinese mini excavator I think it wld help me as far as transporting materials

@@theoccasionalfarmboy subbed

I appreciate that! Next time.... will keep that in mind to look for.

You're welcome! Let me know how your new toy works for you!

@@theoccasionalfarmboy run's like hell, before i started the saw i cleaned it for hours. I don't know how long it was sleeping, must be a while, but now it's back again, more for fun

Building a 90 by 30 shed, and with the tree there it'd be right in the middle of the drive. Same with that 100' tree.

Definitely was a beautiful tree

Full unboxing video coming soon and first impressions

@@theoccasionalfarmboy cool

Thanks! How many do you have in your collection?

@@theoccasionalfarmboy only 24, I want more tho

@MAKESHIFTFARMs Haha, I think you've gotten more than me at that point! Are there any saw you are looking for to build your model lineups?

@@theoccasionalfarmboy if u mean build as in porting and stuff, I might do that to my Makita 520i and a Poulan wild thing I’m supposed to be getting

@@theoccasionalfarmboy or if u mean if I’m looking for more saws, I want a stihl 009, Stihl 041 farm boss, any Shindaiwa, and a Homelite super mini

It sure is a great machine, and the engine sounds amazing. Works very well for us

It's always good to find out what these are capable of. Some have even put a small baler behind them

I've been spoiled and have only ever used live PTO so this was a great experience!

Standard 540 rpm depending on the engine speed.

Yippers!!!

Class Forge Harvester

Do you remember when you corrected the blow down/video link? That would be great So far, the chain tensioner broke, so will see how it goes

I'm glad you find joy in watching, and I hope you're able to find a job shortly that fits your needs

Oh I will find a new job real soon bud can you do me a favor please

?

@coreykunkel6941 what's up

Can I use you for a special project it easy I sent you a Instagram invite I will. Tell you more on there

Thanks for the extra history insight on these classics!

@@theoccasionalfarmboy 👍The later versions 6400/7300/7900 were manufactured in collaboration with Solo in Stuttgart with Solo‘s models having 1mm more stroke resulting in 665/675/681 all using the same chassis. When Sachs owned Dolmar they had a Wankel engine saw briefly, the model KMS4. The Solo Twin two cylinder chainsaws from the 60‘s are really neat and rare!

@kbittorf335 Yes, I haven't see a Wankle or the Twin setup in person, but those would have taken quite the collaboration and geniuses to make it compact yet usable. This is great!

Still Springs

I'll be Gramps...... he's got hearing protection and this is a controlled cut. If he was slashing or felling, then yeah, I'd agree, but hes not. This is akin to reving your motorbike in the driveway without your leathers. But I'd hope you wear your leathers and helmet on the road..... I'm not worried. la viva
