Those same situations caused McCulloch to fail and go out of business.

In kerosene lamps, don't use kerosene. Use super refined lamp oil and you won't have any smell and can be used indoors with no problem. Your kitty will be OK with this solution.

@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 thanks. I did it, but its hungary. Its worse than kerosene was 50 years ago

I tried one brand of the lamp oil that still had an odor when burning and switched to another brand that has no smell and I use the lamps in my 10x20' shed all the time and even in the house at times.

When I first received my 034, I thought for sure it was just another cheapo plastic saw for light farm and homeowner use. STIHL actually sold the 034 as a pro saw, even with all the substandard parts and poor design. You are right about absurd parts prices too. I would never buy any new STIHL power equipment.

Coleman stoves always used a front mounted fuel tank. The stove I show that has the side mounted tank was made by American Gas Machine (AGM).

Old gas stoves and lanterns are interesting and useful at times too. I know you like them both. Hope all is going well for you.

Thanks for watching.

We have been lucky so far as to power outages. The longest one was 30 minutes. You can see I am ready to see, heat and cook with my vintage lanterns, heaters and stoves if that changes. Good to hear that you are not restricted anymore. I will watch for your next video.

I did watch you lantern video, although I wasn't able to comment at the time. Good video. I have a lantern video coming out as well and will direct them your way for a more complete history lesson.

Thanks.

We like our old stoves and lanterns, especially when the power goes out. Happy New Year to you too !

Thanks for the nice comment and for watching.

We like and use our vintage junk !

.325 chainsaw chain was developed for low horsepower homeowner saws. It has small cutting teeth which makes it less likely to kick back. It cuts very smoothly, but doesn't cut as good as 3/8" low profile chainsaw, which is made for the same low power homeowner saws. I don't see any need for having two different size chains for the same cutting circumstances. The 025 performs quite well after I did some modifications to it and a decent carb installed. In stock form it was barely better than useless.

Old stuff is what we like best and also use for doing our work and chores on the homestead.

The best and easiest way to put a decompression valve on an 034 is to replace the cylinder and piston assembly with one for an 036. The cylinder /piston kit bolts right on, the cylinder has the port for the decomp valve, raises the displacement to 61.5 cc's and increases the hp and torque a fair amount. The top cover of the 034 would need a hole put in it for the decomp valve to stick through or put an 036 cover on it that has the hole already and a decomp valve. It should be relatively easy to install a purge valve also.

OK. Thank you for the reply, sounds great.

Lombard saws are unusual and an interesting part of chainsaw history. This particular saw is a nice and great running example.

Not all 034's are created equal. From comments I have received about them, the German built ones are much better than the US built ones. Many have also commented that running any bar over 20" is too much for them. That has been my experience. The original owner of my saw and his dad bought two of them new. I repaired them back to operating condition, ran them both and the performance was identical, neither work well with a longer bar. Stihl made an 034 Super version of this saw and has 61.5 cc's instead of 57 like the standard 034. It is a much better saw, has power and torque. The 034 Super has the same top end as the 036. As for my saw, it has 140 psi compression and the bore and piston are in excellent condition. One thing of interest is that almost all comments about not running any bar over 20"s came from pro loggers that used them as work saws. I did a muffler mod on mine, which improved the performance a tiny bit. The 034 works great, revs out well as long as it is cutting small wood, branching or cutting up rotten wood. When I need to do some real hard work, I just get out one my McCulloch's.

You bet !

I am lucky that I have a source for fuel that sells only non- ethanol fuel in regular-midgrade and premium. I would not recommend using VP fuel. It burns dirty, leaving a lot of deposits. I would suggest watching Chickanic and Richard Flagg's videos on it. Chickanic has a power equipment dealer and repair shop, and Richard flag is a professional saw repairman. Both talk about and show why it isn't any good. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

We like running our vintage saws and being in the great outdoors !

My son actually built the layout and did an excellent job. Happy New Year !

From what I have learned, the German built 034's were much better than the US built ones.

Our weather here in the PNW has been typical, very wet and rainey and some heavy windstorms too. I have 3 new blowdowns, but they are smaller trees thankfully. We had an extra nice Christmas this year and hope for a better new year, as this year was not the greatest.

The Marklin layout came out great.

You have a nice layout there. Thanks for watching our vintage train video.

The 034 works great with 20" bar or smaller. They don't have enough torque to run anything longer. Keep the revs up and the 034's cut great.

I worked part time for a train store that sold Marklin as well as Lionel etc. I did maintenance, repairs and sometimes restoration of vintage toy trains. People would bring in collections for sale at times and I would get some of the stuff for my collection. Since I was only interested in the early postwar era, over time I rounded up some really nice trains buildings and accessories.

The old mechanically operated stuff is what we like, no modern quiet electronic crapola for us. Thanks for the tip on the balance board for Mrs. O.

Thanks for the nice comment. I started collecting Marklin HO many years ago. The buildings came from collections that I bought, there again, a long time ago.

Vintage is best !

We also have prewar and postwar trains as well. Check out some of older Christmas Toy Train videos and you will see some of them in action. Marklin trains are high quality and well made trains for sure.

Marklin trains if well maintained will last just about forever !

Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas to you !

Thank you for the nice comment and for watching. We used a European made grass mat to emulate the correct color of their terrain. I had collected vintage Marklin trains and accessories over a long period of time and my oldest son, who is also a big vintage train collector, built the layout so we could play with all our old trains. He did a superb job. Obsolete is best for our family !

@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 Your oldest son is an extremely good builder. I think his work on that layout is beyond compare. You are a very lucky man to have such as fine skilled family. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am lucky to have a talented son who also enjoys collecting and operating vintage toy trains.

@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 You sure are!

Thanks for watching. Mery Christmas to you and a Happy New Year too !

The Marklin layout is our best one yet. My oldest son built it for our family to enjoy and like to share it with others via the internet. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

We really like to showcase our vintage trains and look forward to making our annual train video. Thanks for watching and commenting. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !

It is interesting to get comments about the Wild Things, especially about some that gave good service. Most didn't. I would suggest going back and watching some of my older videos on them where I show the modifications that greatly improved there performance.

@ I absolutely will! I don’t use them a lot or make a living with them. Them ol saws just remind me of my dad and when I was a kid. He cut a lot of wood in the winter for extra money and he always had an ol wild thing. I guess u can say I collect for memories

Neat family memories !

Thanks for watching and commenting. We started working on the Marklin layout in July. It is very satisfying working with very high quality vintage trains and accessories. The equipment is operated by solenoids and electric motors, many with gearboxes to make things move. Merry Christmas and a Happy new year to you and family !

This is the best layout we have. My oldest son built the complete layout so our whole family can enjoy it. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you !

Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you !

Thanks for the nice comments. Mrs. O is finally healed. We greatly appreciated all the prayers and nice comments we have received since her accident. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you !

Thanks for your very nice comments and glad the video brought back some fond memories from your past. Mery Christmas and Happy New Year !
