The ported 026/ms260 that I built had moisture in the 026 case like that ended up using 1 case half from a ms260 but they were still usable after a bunch of cleaning and rocking strong. Can't wait to jump down the husky rabbit hole this fall/winter
Pintles and gudgeons are the funny name for the hinges ok the rudder of a sailboat. All us real wood boat repair guys have chainsaws, 2 guesses why, but you'll only need one, lol. Great channel keep it up.
The 266s and 281/88s always looked more like a "big" 254 than a 262 to me. I obviously know squat compared to you brother Tinman, but just an observation. These teardowns are awesome man, learning a lot from your channel. I need to add one of these to the stable. I freaking live the 2-series Hooskies. Cheers!
My dad was a logger he’s all time favourite was a 380 when he first started he had a McCulloch 125 and a partner ,he’s last saw was a 181 Awesome knowledge you have yourself,iron horse and billy
I have two stock 181's and absolutely love running them. Not too heavy and plenty of power to bury a 28" bar in some wood. Curious to see what you can make of it.
Love my 181se, traded it for an oscillatin multi-tool and couldn't count the cords I've cut with it..(cause i can't count very high, to be clear) put a 24" on it (beast for nw ontario) and kind of want bigger.. looking forward to your next moves with it!
Being Australian I've grown up knowing them as gudgeon pins, but after watching plenty of saw and bike building videos i started calling then wrist pins and got some confused looks from my mates hahaha. Personally i think wrist pin sounds better and is easier for lazy speakers like myself.
Beautiful saw. They don’t make them like they used too😍 I need to start wearing chainsaw pants or chaps I’ve had a few close calls. What brand do you guys use or prefer?
'Gudgeon pin' is older British usage. I'm older (how the hell did that happen?) and British (hooray!). 'Rockers' are the bits inside the top end of a four stroke that operate the valves off the pushrods or the camshafts. The bits on the lower outer extremities of a car bodywork are 'sills' (not rockers). Here in the UK we'd say that the two seized bearings on your saw are the 'main bearings' and you have a good 'big end' bearing and your main crankcase seals are 'shagged'. The gudgeon pin runs in the 'little end' bearing. Two nations (sorry to lump the US and Canada together) divided by an ocean and a common language. I think it's funny, but maybe I'm off my rocker.... I have a 181 with factory green cases and covers. Ex-army. Thanks for posting - good stuff.
Nice! Quick question. I have a 2014 455 rancher and was wondering if i opened up the muffler a bit if it would help. Its my dropping saw with 24" bar and oregon chain. Its totally stock (for now). Works great but you know how it is. Always could be better. Lol
The smart money is on gudgeon pin. It makes us sound smarter. Your vids wouldn't be the same without crickets, maybe you need some chooks to help eradicate the noisy blighters. Could you and Willie do a collaboration on repairing old cases? That would be nice to see being that is the only way to save some of these old saws. Cheers
another great video. i am glad i am not the only one who gives thier tools dumb names. 😁 crickets bug me when i have to deal with them, but they add a nice ambience to your videos. it is really nice seeing the offers of help in the comments. you are definantly doing things right.
@@tinmanssaws hey tinman first off I absolutely love your videos and am so glad that I found your channel (thanks to buckin Billy Ray). The 2 of you are a perfect team as far as spreading positivity. I just resurrected a 1985 homelite sxl automatic. Last night I found a husky 181se with a 34 inch bar on it for 250.00 the saw looks great to be older (only normal wear and tear). The only thing is it fires up and idles but boggs when you hit the throttle. I know that could be a number of things. It has good compression I don't know numbers but the guy says it has a good strong pull to it like it always has. My question is if you could take the time would you let me know if it's worth it. To me the bar and good case and all is worth the money even if the saw was locked up tight. Once again I'd appreciate your input and really want to think you for all the motivation and decency you show the world bud
I believe I saw an intake between the carb and cylinder, if that’s correct based on the rough finish needed for suspension of fuel, do you rough up it’s smooth surface?
Tinman T-shirt ideas. "When in doubt, get them bearings out". Or... "Motoseal, i put the &hit on everything". Hey... does anyone own the rights to the word "TurdSaw" ? 😁
Hi tinman I am looking at getting a 181se doesn’t seem to have a chain brake on it what other ones would fit ? Is there a jonsred or a later Xp that might work cheers.
As always, beautiful work! What I enjoy so much is how you show every step of the process, and nothing is fast forwarded! 👍💪
Practical explanation of stripping down a power saw ,priceless# cheers Tinman 👍🏻
I have an old 288xp and I love it.
Love these tear downs of the unknown saws. Mystery. Thumper build I love it. Thank you Tinman for sharing. Hope you have a great week friend. 🌲❤🌲✊🪓
Looking forward to this build.
Thank you tinman I appreciate your knowledge
I like big cc ported saws!! Looking forward to this build for sure!! As always WORK SAFE 😎😎🇨🇦🇺🇸
I'm beyond excited to see you post this I am currently working on my 181 to 288 hybrid and would just kill for some more information

So many saws so little time……. This should be an awesome build to watch also.
Looking forward to this build ,she'll be nasty take er easy TINMAN
Unleash the beast.
It's pretty amazing what can get into an unused engine, especially one left outside or in an unheated building!

Been offline a few days, getting caught up now. Another cool project Tinman!
Man you did it again! That "Germish" is soooo funny :-P Kaputzki! Great video. Love to see this old lady rock! Go on Tinman!!

Husky 440 owner. Just fun to watch and see "SAWS".
I get my fire wood in, but your saws just make it more FUN. HA HA Hallelujah
Good vid...be nice to follow this build see what you do with it...
Can't wait to see this build.Tinman
Doing some horses trading with a gentleman for a 384 wish I could get you to port that.
Thanks for the show always a pleasure
Looking forward to seeing what you do with that booger! Nothing like country living! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Timan, wow I can't wait to see the power out of this saw
My dad was a logger he’s all time favourite was a 380 when he first started he had a McCulloch 125 and a partner ,he’s last saw was a 181
Awesome knowledge you have yourself,iron horse and billy
Thank you
Itl be a cold day in hell I pay someone to come throw my trash away
Woot i was number 7 to like this vid, tinman keep up the good work, i love watching ur vids and learning the skill 🤘
Take the governor plug out of the carb, put a small Welch plug in the hole, replace governor plug. Viola! You now have a non governed saw.

Interested to see timing numbers on this one

I'll be following this closely. I must do a Husky soon.
00:49 was the missing case bolt at 13:20. I usually forget the bolt at 13:00. Good video...you work fast.

did you ever finish this ? if so i can't seem to find the video

It's called gudgeon pin in the UK for sure we also have semis but they aren't trucks lol

Should be a sweet saw when you git’r done.
Big wood, big saw. Smaller wood, give me a smaller high revin saw. Big saws just take to long to rev up for a small cut.
Looks like it will be a fun build Bud. Sent you an email BTW. Cheers
281xp 288xp nice
I have a couple sets of cases I could mail you if you ended up needing them
Hey tin man I’m looking for an MS 361 something to rebuild if you could help me with that
When In Doubt, Get Them Bearing Out Eh! Tinman Tshirts.
Booya !
281 piston
never apologize for the crickets :)
Put a 288xp top end on her and see what happens? Check out the one I did.
I do not trust the rod bearing. May have black rust. If there was water in the case.
mate its a 281 cylinder id say 181 got t head bolts on muffler
looks like i am wrong on the bolts
What happened to the 268 build? The giveaway saw…
That's an older 181 no chain brake in 1980 or 1981 they put chain brake on them. 281 was same saw just new series
First ones came out with a metal chain brake handle.
