Hey Steve by chance u know where the stihl ms180 c-be is made heard some.are made on China?
Thanks
Good News: I notice that I put my chain on backwards. Bad News: I still myself look like an idiot. Thanks ☺️
THANK YOU, STEVE! I’m a 48 yr old wife whose husband has recently spent a 2 month stint in the hospital...he’s home now, but still not up to par so I didn’t want to bother him when the chain fell off the saw after I did some much needed trimming in our back & front yard. Your video was SUPER SUPER helpful! I’m so THANKFUL you had the mind to do such a demonstration because if you notice, you & 1 other person HAVE the ONLY videos of the kind here on helpful RUclips. I wanted to again, THANK YOU & let you know that it’s not only young, never taught before husbands, as well as the most experienced men who watch your channel but also those do-it-yourself women, such as myself, whom were never taught the ins and outs of a chainsaw. Your video, I’m sure, has helped way more people than you probably realize. So please, keep making your helpful videos and from time to time, make a video demonstration about something you’d ASSUME everyone knows because I’m certain, as living proof, NOT everyone WILL KNOW UNTIL YOU TEACH THEM THRU YOUR DETAILED VIDEO. ...SO AGAIN, with MUCH GRATITUDE, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!😘👍🏻🇺🇸
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Outstanding!
I also Watches video about changing the primer bulb and the gas lines and if it wasn't for his video I guarantee it would never run but it runs perfect now thanks to him
I'm a 60 year old "newbie" on reparing small engines in Québec and Steve ! I'm sending you out a very BIG Thank You !! for doing this little short video 'cause yes... i was just about to install the chain back on when this odd little voice on my shoulder started saying... "Hmmm..? Wander what Steve has in his "RUclips-Toolbox" about installing this the right way..🤔 and shure enough..!! I was going down the wrong road..!! ☺️
Merci beaucoup buddy !!😉
This video helped me out Because this is the first time I have ever owned a chainsaw so instead of trying to put the chain on and screw it up I looked for a video. Thank you for making this
You're Welcome...
exactly what i just did . If you dont know ask.
Same here !
This video helped me out when my dad handed me a new chain and said "good luck" 😂
Same.
Any body who enjoys a drink while working on power equipment and guns is my kind of guy! 🍻
Right here right now I’m rolling👍🏽
So, it's just about 3+ years since you posted this video, and it's still relevant! I have infrequently used chainsaws and recently changed the chain on mine...went out to cut today and lo, and behold it wouldn't cut. I was certain I had put the chain on correctly per the diagram provided, but we all know how those "foreign" instructions look..and BAM! It was backwards! So, thanks a million for a clear & concise video! We are not all born as woodcutters or handymen and someone needs to show us the what, why and when of this stuff!
You're Welcome...
This woman appreciated your time and effort. It is my first time, ever, using a hatchet pruner. Therefore, I didn't know how to replace the chain saw in the correct way. Now I know!
Im a 75 yr old female, this saved me some time and I didn't have to ask for help.
OK, I admit - I installed the chain the wrong way around. I bought a nifty hand-held, battery operated mini chainsaw. When it would hardly cut through melted butter, I thought I had been ripped off. Then I found your video, flipped that chain around and found that this little gadget works brilliantly - cuts through branches with up to a 2.5 inch diameter in seconds. Thanks!
Nice work!
Thanks, brother, I was never taught this by my dad and precisely why I'm subscribed to your channel. Thank you for everything you've taught me!
Rock on!
Thanks for the video, now I know how it goes.
Your video just saved me from having to take it to the local repair shop and thus avoided me from having to spend some money.
Thanks again!
You're welcome!
I found a chainsaw partially disassembled, with no manual in my grandfathers never owned or use a chainsaw before, and no one is around, who can show me. So this video help me a lot. Much better than trial and error Thanks for saving me time and keeping me from looking like an idiot lol.
You're Welcome...
“Santa’s sleigh always points forward”
Nice way to remember lol I was wondering why my brand new chain wasn’t cutting haha 😂
Thank you
I think of them as little cars, right and left view.......but I like your idea of Santa's sleigh better !!!
Yes, I am one the folks who didn't know this and am grateful for the instruction
Thank You...
This video is very helpful to women as well!! Not all of us have someone to do it for us, so we take the initiative to do it ourselves! It was very helpful and much appreciated.
Thanks man , it’s been probably 25 years since I put a chain on and after installing it I decided to watch a quick video just to make sure I remembered everything, and wouldn’t you know it , I had it on backwards! 👍
Glad it helped
You might also remind people to flip the bar every time you remove it. Keep the bar clean and make sure the oil holes are clear. Also file the burr off that gets along the edge of the bar. Maybe you just wanted to show how to put the chain on and this would be discussed in a maintenance video. Like your videos Steve.
Thank you so much buddy. I got all that covered in other videos, except for flipping the bar! Great idea, next video I hope...
I went to HD and found the new chainsaw (tooth) on display were as sharp as ours. So, I came back and Steve helped me put the chain in right direction. Cleared some bunch of thick bushes and branches in a flash.Thanks for a cool and useful video. You da' man!
That is awesome!
Thank you for your video. I recently had to replace the tension screw on my chainsaw, and did some cleanup. I removed the chain in order to complete the job. Having never been shown the correct way to put the chain back on, I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. By the way, men aren’t the only ones who use chainsaws anymore.
Thanks Steve:) I had to replace the gas lines on my 20 year old McCullough, and I figured I better verify which way to put the new blade on since it's been forever since I've changed one. And I knew that I could search on Utube and get a good answer quicker than digging out the old manual to see if it even showed you which way was correct.
Well some of us are women out here doing this and need the basics on how to do things that women don't typically do. So this may not help the average guy but its helpful for ladies like me so i appreciate it. I used a chainsaw for the first time today at 28 and my chain popped off so here I am looking for how to put it back on lol
Thank you, I never knew there was a proper direction. I now have to go fix my chainsaw
You're Welcome...
Muchas gracias por compartir!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌 thank you so much for sharing this video. I myself never had or felt the need to own a chainsaw since I lived in the City of Los Angeles all my life. But, now I live in the countryside. We have a little bit of land and bunch of trees. So I bought my very first chainsaw at 56 yrs. Of age. So, I came across your video to be educated about a tool I had no idea how to install or replace the chain for my chainsaw. Thank you again your video it was very short but informative 👍 I don't feel like an idiot nor will I ever think of me in that way. I think it takes a very mature individual to admit not to know everything. You did help me and saved me a lot of time. Keep sharing your videos !!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
I will be honest - I am only new to owning a chainsaw and have never had to replace a chain. I am not saying that I would have got it wrong, but I am becoming very familiar with my saw, and with using it and maintaining it thanks to you and Billy Ray. Cheers Steve for the quickie!
I knew mine was on backwards too but my wife thinks I’m an idiot by default. Enjoyed the video and that was a good looking brew.
I appreciated the video. Helped me not look ridiculous in front of our community cleaning up after a storm. Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
I really appreciate you showing the very basic stuff like this, also. In this case, i knew already not to put the chain on backwards, but only 1 year or 18 months or so ago, i would have run a real risk to look the idiot. Simply never had the opportunity to work with a chainsaw before that...
Right on, thanks for the comment......
I concur, we arent all seasoned experts, everyone has a day one. Except the know it alls, they started with 15 years experience!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon how much money was spent on your chainsaw
It's my first chainsaw and yes I did put it on backwards 😃.
Thanks for the video and and the funny story.
Love from Ireland.
You're Welcome...
You know when he takes a sip, hes legit.
Thank you for your video! I recently got my 20-inch chainsaw back from the local authorized repair shop following a "tune-up" after the saw stopped running. Now, my saw runs very well, but it did not cut well at all. I started looking at the chain and thought it looked like it was on backwards, but could not believe the official repair shop would have put it on the saw that way. I found your video to try and confirm my suspicion that the chain was on backwards, and you absolutely confirmed it! Now, I flipped the chain around and I can now clean up all the fallen trees and branches that came down in the recent big ice storm here in Virginia. Thank you for your very clear explanation confirming my suspicion that the chain was on backwards and showing me how to easily put it on correctly!
You're Welcome...Unfortunately lots of qualified shops just have a 15 year old in the back shop doing the work, paying him minimum wage and charging you $90 an hour! This is why I started this channel.....
Top man! My father and I were stumped with this
Best and simplest explanation for the correct direction of the chain.
Thank You...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Got the job done thanks to you Steve...My God the chainsaw tore through that wood.....I'll subscribe....Thanks again.
Hi Steve, I'm a woman who was about to do the same as that guy you mentioned. I was feeling super proud that I assembled the chainsaw and then felt absolutely defeated and weak when I couldn't cut a twig.
Found your channel, confirmed I was the other 50 %. Resolved by putting on the chain correctly😂
Feel like I'm a lumber Jane now.
Thank you so much, from saving me of making a dickhead of myself. 🇦🇺 🦘
If you don't know, then you don't know, till you learn.
Cheers!
Right on Val! Thank You...
Happy wife,happy life .I did not know that being a first time chain saw MS 170 user .Thanks
.Cheers from Nova Scotia.
Thank you Steve! I was one of those who just guessed right when I always replaced the chain. Clockwise is a better way to remember.
You're Welcome...
Heck yeah Steve. I picked up a few acres that needs some tree clearing. I broke out my old 2001 craftsman saw from my years in Alaska, she needed a new chain. It's been a few years since I fired her up. I googled up saw "chain direction" and saw your video. Thanks a ton.
Right on Pat....
Thanks Steve! ...
this reminds me of an old 'Revelstoke commercial' where buddy had the drill in reverse! 😂
Classic
Watched from Yosemite Kentucky. I put my chain on backwards. Thanks much for helping me out. My chainsaw now cuts wonderfully.
Right on
Super helpful. Thanks bro. First time owning a chainsaw and could’ve swore I put it right but I was wrong all along lol
You're Welcome...
Thank you so much. You did help me out. Nobody had ever shown me anything about a chainsaw. I actually put a chain on my pole saw today backwards. Went to use it and you know how it went. That's when I come inside and found your video. I'm going to assume the same concept applies to a pole saw? And the plus was I was alone when this happened so I didn't have to look like an idiot in front of my wife. Thanks
Right on Will!
Holy shit thanks I’m out here in the woods struggling so much and I finally got my chainsaw working
You're Welcome...
Steve your a legend. I've never been much into engines but I've started teaching myself small engine repairs and your videos have helped me massively. Thank you
Wow, thanks
Honestly you are an amazing teacher. I had no idea about a week or two ago but have watched most of your videos. And you have a very detailed and fully explanatory approach to showing people what's what. I love the fact you always have a different beer in your videos too 😂 Thank you man. Keep posting.
I inherited my dad-in-laws chainsaw. He's in Asst. Living and of course isn't using it, but I just took it apart and boy howdy was it a mess. The chain is rusted soooo bad that yeah, gonna need a new one! Thanks for this tip, because not ever owning my OWN chainsaw, I "might" have done what that guy did.
You rock!!! Thanks for being a father figure to me
Another fellow Man with a sense of humor, common sense and shoots us straight. Thanks Steve!
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve just learned a lesson watching this video. Thank you!
Don't be embarrassed, we're all constantly learning! The important thing is that you took something valuable away from the video. Now go out there and put that lesson into action!
I have early stage dementia so this video helps. I always have trouble lining up the bolts. thanks Steve
Bought a 2nd hand chain saw. Took the chain and bar off, never noted orientation, cleaned all the shmoooh out, replaced bar and chain and it wouldn’t cut for s££t. Googled, and ended up here. Thanks Steve, all subscribed and enjoying all your other vids.
You're Welcome...and Thank You...
Thanks Steve. We all have to learn at some point in our lives. At 12 years old or 50 years old. Thanks! You just earned a subscriber.
Thanks for this video mate. I did not know that a chain could be put on backwards. I just bought a new chainsaw mainly for firewood when I go camping. So it's good to have this information when the time comes to replace the chain. Cheers.
You're Welcome...
Thanks. When mine won’t cut I know it’s back word😂
Mrs is outside in the laundry as I watched. lol Thanks for your help dude
You're Welcome...
It's true I do not know how to put on my chainsaw chain, thank you for the help Canada rocks! That's why we love you you are the smart Americans.
Thank You...
I had an impractical father and RUclips has been a wealth of knowledge for people like me who didn’t get taught. I’ve fucked that many things up where I wish someone had said “eh stop fuck ya, it’s on backwards”.
I sent this to my friend who was having issues … he thanks you 😜
Right on
Thank you Steve. The smallest things can save us time and money
You're Welcome...
Great, thank you - couldn't understand why it didn't cut. Thought I needed a new chain !!
You're Welcome...
My chainsaw wasn't cutting worth a shyt yesterday when a put a new chain on it .....thanks lmao 🤣
Glad to help
Your help is appreciated. Never owned a chainsaw before, and now that it works again - HA! I'm taking an "Ida" felled 85 year-old magnolia off my home in south Louisiana! Thanks!
You're Welcome...
I appreciate the video because I didn’t know the correct way. Chainsaw noob. Thank you!
You're Welcome...
Thank you for the laugh first thing in the morning ☺️ Now, I will try and change the chain (two left hands on me😂😂😂)
You’re welcome 😊
To be honest with you I put mine on backwards yesterday. Didn't cut worth a squat. I wouldn't have been mad if I was that guy. That is how you learn. Sometimes we need to swallow our pride & just get the right advise. So thanks a lot for this video my friend.
Right on buddy...
Steve, you crack me up. That's all I have to say.
Steve I have a Pouland Pro PP4620avx it has a wrench less system can I convert this system to the old style with the adjusting screw and two hold down nuts?
Hi! Thank u 4 the HELPFUL video!! I recently bought a new chainsaw and need to put a new chain on. I honestly would not have none there was a right and wrong way 🤷♂️ THAXS AGAIN!!
You are welcome!
Useful and liked Steve's presentation style. Yes, I am just getting started with chainsaw and first trying to install the chain.
Glad it was helpful!
Man! Thank you so very much! Just what I need today. I'm doing this right now!
Glad I could help!
Ty for this video. As for me I work as a cook so never needed a chainsaws. So putting this out help ppl such as my self
Right on
Thanks! Lost my handyman and needed to put a chain on myself to cut small trees on the property, this helped.
Excellent!
Yo Steve, you helped me not look like an idiot! Thanks!!!
Thx a stupid tin knocker like me, had my dad doing it. Now I’m on my own … thanks again 👍🏼
You're Welcome...
Helped me out! seriously. I have no idea what I'm doing. Thank u
You're Welcome...
Thanks dad, I don't have one so imma just call you that lol
Yup you helped me
Thanks very much!! I’m new to this cutting wood business so video was very timely!
Great to hear!
Hey, that's a good thing to look at. Thanks for the video Steve!
You're Welcome...
thanks, good video. I was wondering if you know, on the 362 c-m, the guide bar plate is kind of flexible. I bought an identical one, but it is sturdy but not to much thicker. Can I use the sturdier one or does it have to be the flimsier one?
Brilliantly explained as always -
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi Steve, I received a Stihl MS 290 with no bar and chain. I am wondering what kind of bar (probably an 18in) I could put on. I guess it doesn't matter as long I put the right chain respecting the 3 magic numbers from the bar? Thanks!
Thank you sir!! very helpful.
Most welcome!
Nice clear explanation better than the manual
Thank You...
Glad you included this one. Really. TY
You're Welcome...
I didn't know this...you helped me out. Thanks man!
You're Welcome...
st louis mo here. I AM stupid about this stuff, Steve & not ashamed to admit it. My story is that I took my saw to the hardware store to have it sharpened & when I got it back I noticed it wouldn't cut. Now I know why. So some people ARE stupid (though I'd prefer ignorant). Some smart people can make mistakes. So thanks, Steve. Won't make that 1 again.
Hello i have a question. There is this so called chaincatcher to catch the chain if it rips or fals of, i culdnt find a proper video on it so i wanted to ask is it preinstalled on every chainsaw? or do i have to instal it after i purchase a chainsaw? or is it even worth bodering with? (if you did a video on it and i overlooked it im sory).
You were great and right to the point 👍🙏
I appreciate that!
You're a nice dude my man I like the way you explain that especially the apology to the random person that you accidentally insulted that was pretty chill too sometimes it's just hard not to put people on blast when they are being stupid cuz you got to learn from your mistakes and the only way learning is by pointing it out and then showing the right way.
Right on Rick! Thank You...
Thanks for not letting me look like a dork!
Like the video. I have put it in bsckwards after too many buds while sharpening. Next outing nothing but dust no chips. Look at the chain and laugh. Humbling experience. Quick fix back at the truck tailgate with the field tools. Love your channel.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks! I’m one of those who needed this!
You're Welcome...
not only informative, but freakin funny! nice move steved. Now, I didnt know there was a direction, so im sure ive gotten it wrong a couple times! Maybe thats why every now and then i have to bring back a so called dull chain . kinda makes sense now, thank you steve ! and to everyone who cant figure out why there new chain is seemingly dull, DONT GET YOUR PANTIES IN A BUNCH, WATCH MORE OF "STEVES SMALL ENGINE SALOON!"
Right on Dean! Thank You...
As a recent widow now having to use a chainsaw, THANKS. This happened to me yesterday. I'll be back out sawing when it quits raining.
Right on
this is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks!!!
Glad I could help!
This video helped me..thanks...Question: How long should a chain last before it gets dull. I can cut down a tree and maybe cut it into about 10 sections and my chain is toast. Is that normal??
Glad you did it Sir! Thanks!
Any time!
This has helped me. Thank you
I'm so glad!
Thanks. Love learning
Our pleasure!
Haha, I'm new to Chainsaws. I just moved to the country, and my cs590 didn't come with a chain. I purchased one and put it on and noticed it was burning and not actually cutting a 1inch circumference tiny branch and I turned it off right away figuring I did something wrong and right away checked chain direction and I screwed it up. Flipped it, and it cuts like butter now. Within 10 minutes of having it set up properly, I was cutting thin branches rubbing against the house and cut into a loose branch that slapped the glasses off my face hard as hell. Learning 1 dumb mistake at a time, my friends.
Power tools and alcohol! Great combination! Love it
Ha ha ha, yep that was me,searched for it on RUclips and enjoyed your upload,many thanks ! Tones NZ.
Right on Tony! You're Welcome...
Thank you! I needed this! Thank you from a grateful WOMAN! :D
You are so welcome!
Can you explain why the drive teeth (on the inside of the chain) look like they’re on backwards when the chain is on the right way. That initially what made me put the chain on backwards.
Thanks so much, my first time changing and this was the best video I could find to help me, Ta Steve!
Glad it helped!
