Building a Chainsaw Powered Winch
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2023
- Where there's a will, there's a way! Sometimes you just have build it... A chainsaw powered winch has been on my list of "cool tools" that would be nice to have, but never came across a used one for sale. A new one was just too much dinero to justify for occasional use, so the next best thing is to just make it yourself.
Converting things over to gasoline power is always a good time, of course it never seems to go as smoothly as planned. This build wasn't too bad, I've had others that were just complete disasters, but it still ended up needed a lot more tweaking that anticipated.

The amputator 9000 ! Killer build dude
Grinding those bearings properly the way you did was brilliant
Just what I needed sitting here bored out of my brains at work.
Love adding Greta’s voice of disapproval!
Another gem! Love the videos
Thanks man
Badass dude. You got yourself a new subscriber
Nice, appreciate it man. 🤘
Same here my kind of guy!!
Just too good. a repurpose of things i wouldnt have thought of, and its actually come in handy! Just loved being along for this build.
Thanks man. 🤘
Nice work thats pretty sweet
superb idea!
shake hands with danger!
Just love the channel
Damn Genius Vinny
Nice work!
Thanks, glad it worked, haha
Awesome job. I enjoyed this video.
Glad to hear. 👍
That worked great. A remote throttle would be nice
Ooh new upload!
I had never considered this, now looking at old half dead chain saws and winches with a certain glint in me eye.... I saw comments about remote throttles, yes, possibly, but with proper construction, welds and cable health should be okay. If you don't have the spidy sense to stop when something is too far sketchy you deserve a Darwin award anyway. I have two Incomplete one's myself, hope to get smarter and never compete for an award again. Both involved helicopter rides, although one was just a church bus that rear ended me, but hey, the last one was my fault (and undiagnosed high blood sugar at 400+).
I guarantee Peg approve this message❤ cheers fella
👌
Just found you, love this content! Solid idea
Cool, appreciate it man.
About damn time Toocheap
I hear ya, haha
How come no one thought about this before!!
Genius idea, I've been wanting a chainsaw winch for year's I'll have to steal this idea. 👍 👌 I've even got a couple junk winches.
Nice, it has come in handy a couple of times already.
Great video!!! You should post more often if possible.
Thanks man, we're trying. Not enough time in the day, haha.
and why wouldn't you want to operate the wench right in the danger zone. Love it.
Zip tie the throttle 😂
very good! always good stuff!
Appreciate it man. 👍
Great idea!
I've been trying to think of a good project for a small 2 stroke about the size of a grapefruit. I must need to do more 12oz curls.
💪🍺
An instagram and everything. What a time to be alive.
Cheers
Haha
Yup good content 💯
Just remembered to get back on here and thank you again. I broke out one of my sleds to get ready for grass drags, because they're finally happening in Maine again! That trick you showed us a while ago, injecting bar and chain oil into the idler wheel bearings. Never ceases to amaze me just how well that works. I just replaced those bearings 2 years ago and they were all about seized up. Got any tricks for making grease fittings take grease again? I know I could buy new fittings but we both know they're just going to snap off when I try to unscrew them.
Nice, glad to hear! Don't have a trick for the grease zerks, but I know they make a rejuvenator that you fill with oil and hammer to force them open.
You need to Patton this, I would buy one
Nice coozie dude..
A old McMaster Carr catalog is like a machine heads bible!
Amazing how much stuff they got in there.
Well done! If your project ain't got some kind of small block Chevy parts, are you even doing it right? hahah
Haha, for sure!
freaking awesome idea!! did you have an extra chainsaw for this project? I heard you have a few.....few to many
Lol!!
😂 they all have a special job
Pretty cool. I bought a Lewis winch with a 100cc power head for 400 bucks used so they can be had for not to much.
That was a good deal!
Can't believe you actually Mcmaster'd stuff like my lazy engineer bosses who can't be bothered to even ask me to dig through through the junk piles at work to find what we need. Next thing I know you'll be signing PO's to have a vendor make your stuff.
Lol!!
I was excitedly waiting the self clearance but it was not dramatic. Break things harder I always say!
Haha, there's always next time!
Those armor plate shields like used on anti-aircraft guns on ships might
be a good accessory. Or maybe a wireless remote chainsaw throttle.
Oh yah. Awesome.
nice job.
Thanks man!
Well done! Four and fifteen sixteenth stars!
Lol, always searching for that last sixteenth!!
A doctor, lawyer, a Senator or a PhD in neuropsychology could never accomplish this in a million years.
Barreled it down the hill LOL, been there done it and completely rearranged my face.
Lol, gotta watch them trikes!
Good morning mister, what dimensions are the two pulleys in millimeters? Thank you P.S. Congratulations on the work👏👍
The mounting alignment should be straight line from the mooring clevis at the
back end straight through the winch line. Offset for the chainsaw drive is fine
because the only force involved there shows as belt tension force reduced by
the gear ratio in the winch. The direction of the pull force driving the winch
internals is isolated from the direction line of force through the winch line.
So the location of the belt drive could be clocked anywhere it fits the best.
If the winch line is 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock, the tension on the belt drive could
even be vertical, like down from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, with winch hung
below the chainsaw. The center of gravity with the heavier winch below
would be better. A slack side belt idler might be needed if the different
drive angle is not a good match for the chain tension adjuster. Sprockets
and chain could be used instead of a belt drive and may be better setup.
Thought about some of those different arrangements, but like you said went with the straight forward style to use the existing tensioner. It seemed to straighten itself out in the end, lol.
@@toocheaptosmoke A chain drive and sprockets is definitely the
way I would have gone, with the winch located beneath and feeding
line vertically onto the winch drum redirected over a roller fair lead
to the horizontal pulling direction. On a chain drive there isn't much
adjustment needed for slack and a chain won't slip and burn or rot
like a belt. The CG lower with the winch slung beneath just makes
sense as a counter to line twist forces that appear every time.
The throttle is something I would have a cable and a hand grip
control like a paramotor throttle so I could stand 15 feet to the
side and out of the slingshot kill vector for a snapped line or
torn loose mooring that launches a snatch block like a cannon.
An accessory part I would have for sure packed in the toolkit
for mooring the back end clevis is a tree strap / boulder belt,
and a folding grapnel anchor with long tines and big flukes to
plow into soft ground where there is no mooring point nearby.
I see many videos where even the professionals don't have
a folding grapnel anchor that would save their bacon when
they have no tree or boulder to use for a mooring for a winch.
I know for a fact that the v-belt pulley from a TS700 or TS800 (part #4224 760 8500) wil fit on a 066/660/661.
Use that knowledge how you will. 😉
Nice, good to know!
could you throw a wrench on the bolt at the pulley to back of the winch until you can freewheel it?
Sure can, although the gear reduction is so steep you can just roll the pulley by hand. Just watch them fangers!!
Im sure their could be a way to run the engine backward to relieve the tension on the load to un hook? .... 2 strokes can run backwards!
I like that idea, haha
Well sense it's fall I think it's time for a part 2 on the Suzuki fury...or the Arctic cat Z or something completely different mabey a completely different 4 stroke evenrude with a v twin 670 from harbor freight
Might actually one of those projects in the shop right now, haha
@@toocheaptosmoke there you go get them things into use it be cool to see can't wait to see the video
How long is the clutch going to last?
I think it should last pretty well, stock clutches take a lot of abuse when stalling it out in wood. Would think the belt starts to melt before the clutch completely gave out.
Wonder what would happen if you put the chainsaw part on full throttle (without the winch) on then proceeded to beat the shit out of it with a hammer while the chainsaw is running lol
Sounds like a standard day in the shop.
Шкиф на лебетке поменьше поставь!
Perfect position to get the cable wrapped around your head and rip your face off it it lets go 😂 Shake hands with danger 🤝 Love it ! Just wear a winching helmet 🪖
#leanleftforsafety
@@toocheaptosmoke Perhaps in this situation plasma rope maybe be desirable 😉 love your work man 🤙
