We love you Ironhorse. Your last porting video was so inspiring I purchased a Dremel 4300 and kit. My son and I will be looking at your porting closeup pictures very closely. Bless you for sharing your wisdom with us. We turn off the TV and Turn On Ironhorse everyday!!!
I am a few years older, army vet. The things you are telling about setting up a engine, I used a vacuum gauge , tack , dwell. Had som great times drag racing. I have enjoyed the time, and learned a lot about saws. Keep it coming 😆
Two thumbs up for the dirt bike riding, I’m 54 and still ride dirt bikes with the young bucks myself. Age is just a number it doesn’t define who you are or what you can do . I’ve been told by several I’m to old to be riding dirt bikes, all I can say is bah humbug do what makes you happy life’s short. Love your channel keep up the good work and god bless you.
Hi Harvy, Cheers from NZ, love your life stories your one great character, all one needs is family and friends mixed with lots of love everything else is a bonus.
I am amazed at how that saw runs you and Tinman have given so much information that I have ported one saw and have others now in the works to be ported after I get my snowmobile back together.
Hey Ironhorse I really enjoy your videos especially on anything Makita and Dolmar. I got introduced to them about 3 or 4 years ago like you had said in your video something new you usually stay away from until they gain a reputation and you let other people find that reputation. You have also inspired me to start porting my dolmars and I have ported my first 7900 cylinder with very good success. Thanks for your videos you're doing a great job! -Chris
Love your stories ,I have 2 girls,one is like a boy,in that she watched me do things as she grew up I bought a Harley in 2003, she was 12 it sparked something about riding later she bought a dirt bike, got a horse,got a.job at Harley dealership,the is different she works at nursing home,they just different liking different things,hoped for boy but blessed for them,great video!
YEEEESSSS!!!! It runs! Wooooohhhh! I'm excited about this, what would I'd like to see? That EA6100P cut wood as it is now then after you mod the muffler, both for time. I'd like to see what a difference muffler modded this saw does. This is my first chainsaw I bought and I want it to use it for firewood and now it'll be the big brother to my Stihl MS361's. Thanks for story time Uncle Harv, I never get tire of hearing them. Whatever get on your bench next, after the EA6100P's muffler mod of course, is fine by me as my education is getting more rounded. Be safe....
Hello iron horse saw sounds good. Been cleaning out 40 ft wide over grown fence row. Past 2 months been cutting trees and piling up logs for firewood next year. With husky 440e and 372xp and tractor with forks. Only got maybe 2 hours after work of daylight here in East Tennessee. like your videos. That’s true the good ole days are right now. Sounds good to invite Steve on the show. Have a good day.
Your stories is one thing I sure enjoy , thanks Harvey , I like the story about your dad and you cutting and loading firewood in the winter and the truck broke down , I can just picture that , happy birthday too the big 60 , I’m going on 65 in may
I just bought my first pro type of saw (only other saw I own is a Ryobi 38cc homeowner saw), I really wanted a Makita/Dolmar, especially since they announced they're no longer going to be making them past March '22. My initial dream saw was a EA6100P, but new its like $700. I heard that Home Depot rents Makita saws, and sells their old rental units, so I looked around and there were 2 different Home Depots advertising the DCS6421 20" for sale. When i arrived at the first one, it turned out to be the homeowner type 5600 model, I was really disappointed, and the guy told me not to even bother checking other Home Depots, cause none of them would have anything other than the 5600 or smaller. Thank god I didn't listen and called the other Home Depot when I walked out...I asked the guy what model saw they're actually selling, and he tells me its a 6100. I couldn't believe it...ran over there as fast as I could, and in fact it was the EA6100P for $315. It's fairly lightly used, but had a new carb on, and a new air filter. I told him if it'll start I'll take it, so he put fuel and some bar oil in - 2 pulls on choke to burb, next pull off choke it started right up. Ran like a top. I was so excited. After talking to the guy and telling him my love for quality tools for my DIY insanity, he felt bad I had to drive so far out of my way that he even threw in an extra brand new chain, and a new sqrench. My question to you is, what mods can I do to it? I plan on getting a new 20" bar, either a Sugihara, or a Tsumura. Besides the bar, what are some easy mods I can do quickly? Also what are some not so easy mods I can do?
Mr. Harvey, i been watchin u since u started, and learned a helluva lot ill tell ya... i feel exact same way as u politically and about the youth today...we all should take a minute for the youth and share "OUR" knowledge with them. And allow them the chance to learn like we do watchin u work on powersaws! I dont comment much but im gonna start...and if i ever get a chance to get an "INFAMOUS, BAD@$$ ironhorse powersaw....im for sure gettin that sucker...watever it takes....but i wanted to tell u that i love the information u share that lets us all learn and most definitely your STORIES!!!!! THEYRE THE BEST PART!!!!! Reminds me of my grandparents and families stories, mostly the men, hahaha... man, I love ya and dont even know ya! Thank u sooo dadgum much.... i appreciate u! U and buckin make me and keep me in a better mood all the time! Thank u again so much!
This here Video, Sir, is one of your most enjoyable, if not, one of the best ones I’ve watched period! In fact, despite watching many of your videos, this one inspired me to Subscribe! Love Dolmar/Makita, and I have a bone stock 6100, a great saw, as you said. I really believe this Man has forgotten more than a lot of these young yahoos can remember! 😃 Being a Veteran, I’ll tell you, I’m very upset where this Country is going. And RUclips can kiss my, you know what! I’ve got several friends that happen to be good lawyers, so I’m not worried bout their little WOKE arses, but I digress. Don’t want to being trouble to your channel. I will delete it if you want me to. Realize this is late comment, but better late than never I suppose? Take care Sir! 👍👍👍✌🇺🇸
Iron horse reminds me of the old school loggers and country boys down here in Alabama. There’s no better people in the world than a hard working country boy.
Awesome! I have one of these for bigger firewood and it screams with the 20 on it. Soooo great to see somebody tackle the hot rodding start to finish on it. Keep it up Harv!
Hey Mr. Ironhorse, thank you so much for your Videos. Its super interesting for me to see the detailed stratomechanic in this german made Saxkita . I think its a good Saw that revs good. The older Sax were more Torquemonsters , won‘t rev with deep Sound and 8 pin sprocket like a cr500. I like my old Sax 133 and 143 . Ran them a few Days ago for Buckin, they are about 40 years old and still put a smile on my Face. Heavy reliable Powersaws. Stay safe and healthy . Kind Regards from Germany.
Love your stories your so right about the younger generation I’m 68 and I worked until I was 65 I know you got the kids that would come to work every day and work good but there where the ones that wouldn’t show up and the try to figure how to save there job and have to be there at work so they wouldn’t get fired but I know people my own age did the same thing so it really doesn’t matter on the age stuff
That’s a good lookin saw now. Never saw a Sachs in the part of NY I grew up in either... Totally get what you are saying about people who rely on their tools to make a living not wanting to deviate from brands they know. Sure has been a familiar story with our little endeavors both in products we sell and supplies we buy for our business.
beeRay, where abouts was that? I was born far north near Constable, raised near the tri city area then ran for the hills again LOL. There was one dealer who had Dolmars. Now closing it's doors. Sad because I'm a Stihl boy at heart but I'm just getting round to venturing down my Dolmar side. I should try and buy out his inventory ......
@@beerayfarms7979 I ran to some different hills ...LOL I miss it up there. Childhood memories and my grandparents. Beautiful country up there. Be well friend.
I would like to see this saw run. I have a 6100 and I'm thinking about doing a little porting myself. The day I bought the saw I put a 24in bar on and it turned it just fine. I don't log for a living but I've burn wood all my life so it see a lot of hardwood.
Thanks for your kindness in sharing your knowledge, life experience sound advise, love to learn more about the history in both the humanities and technology form your life. You are a great educator and humble honest human being. Love, regards best of health. Endre from Australia
The stories are great and to have somebody come in and talk wpuld be cool. My dad talked me into starting to include some stories of my past, his stories and some of my grandpas stories.
Hey Harv. Love the stories. Growing up in the 60's was great. Out in the woods all day building huts and drinking from a stream, well it was really a ditch. We smoked rabbit tobacco wrapped in brown paper grocery bag. Rode bicycles miles to a favorite swimming hole. Always loved power saws but all I knew about them was gas and oil. After watching you for a long time I got a pretty good understanding how they work. Fixed all my broken saws and maybe someday I'll try some porting. Hope to see you on Rumble soon.
Hey Harv, GREAT build!!!! Just want to interject a little. I have two of these saws... one was new the other was used and scored when I picked it up. The new one too 15 tanks before it came alive..... it was a VERY noticeable difference. When I rebuilt the scored one I needed a reed block also and when I put the saw together I used the old reed.... on first start the saw ran impressive and didn’t need the 15 tank break in the new one did. Just wanted to let you know what I had experienced with the long break in that these saws seem to need. While different animal when they do. Your saw may may take some time so be patient..... but your mods may have changed all that. Thanks again Harv for sharing your work and ideas.... I’ve learned a lot!!!!!
Saw sounds "smooth". I'm with u 💯% Mr Harvey, let's make all the new memories we can this year..🙏 I like the way u say tht, (cup of ☕ with some "GUM") 🤣🤙
Love your stories! I would consider it a great honor to meet you someday. Would be great to have a historical video with Iron horse, I'll bet there'll be some cool stuff going on! Can't wait to see that dolmar in the wood. Keep up the great work 👍👍💪💪😁😎🇺🇸🇺🇸!
Youre so right. Im only 31 and my buddy and I were talking about how lazy the new generation is... And finally one day he goes "I guess there are a couple young guys that work hard with me... Maybe this is just what every generation says" and its true its the olders story in the book. There are plenty of hard workers out there, they are just young, and we've all been there
I have a Dolmar 6100 and Dolmar 5105 with easy start which I hate. On the high speed jet I noticed it looked solid and assume it was not adjustable' Look forwood to see muffler mod.
You hate the "easy start" because your using it improperly? It was my biggest challenge to get used to. You don't grab handle and start yanking away like you typically do. You just pull a rather slow but steady pull on rope. Let the spring assist do the work. I had a 5105, lost it to a shed fire. Like it so well, I bought another. Unbeknownst to me, it didn't have the spring assist. It pulled so hard, I thought it was locked up or something. I really have to pin that little bitch to the ground firmly and pull hard and quick to turn her over. I'm not gonna like that when I'm older, that's for sure. I believe the compression was around 170 lbs on her. I'd much rather have the "easy start" after having owned both models.
I did at first but did it correctly and still hated it. I found a new replacement starter pull , its better. I think the real problem it floods so easy. on a cold start with choke it never pops so I keep using choke to long.
I'm sure you already thought of it but maybe that could be a vacume secondary, just got to figure out the spring tension on the linkage, under load she might suck open but it would be a tedious task!
Hey there,I have found a dolmar 116si and love it, would you be able to do video of the servicing from fuel filter to carburettor on servicing,had it 30 years without any issue, it's running rough and died after 5 minutes of use, thinking fuel filter,can you help with a video, cheers
Hi Harv! Saw sounds really nice now🤙 I have had a go at porting I done an stihl 024av... haven’t had it in the wood yet it needs a few little parts but runs nice n snappy
I have listened to a few of your stories before and I’ll admit there kinda crazy, but in a good way. When I seen “a story” in the the title. Count me in! lol So by all means, let’s meet this historian friend of yours. How about it✊
Harv,I know you're real busy and can't answer the RUclips questions. But, do you think blocking the stato butterfly will work on other saws? Like a ms391....
Nice to see you feeling better Harvey, missed the stories. I'm wondering if I can do a similar thing with my 460 Rancher, I know its a clamshell style saw so deck height cant be changed but carb and ports look similar to the Dolmar set up. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.Cheers from Tassie.
Harv this is great. I sent you some emails about coming out to meet you sometime. I honestly would like to try to disconnect that on a 575 and see what it does
What’s the negative affects of the top butterfly being hooked up vs not hooked like how does the strato hurt performance , I also have a ms-461 would love to hear your thoughts on the 461 or a build I know u don’t do strato saws is 461 a real strato saw love ya brother u remind me of a older me like lol
STILL RIDING MY 250R 3 WHEELER WITH THE YOUNGSTERS. MY 660 QUAD 2001 MODEL IS RUNNING FAST AS THE NEW BIKES. THE KIDS THAT RIDE THEM WEIGH ABOUT 140, IM 240 PULLS RIGHT WITH themUP THE HILLS.
my bike was 2nd hand did that many miles had to put new hubs in it ////age head is 20/25 body is 60 get of bed bout 90 and NFG till i have coffee and gum
Which carburetor brand do you recommend for my MS440 and where to buy all my parts for my chainsaw, or should I just buy stihl parts straight from stihl
I dont like what I see on the surface either, do not throw in the towel yet uncle harv there's much more going on than meets the eye, study the art of war. Everything is gonna be ok buddy, I'm telling you Love story time, the second time i met my wife I had to drive 25 miles out in the country in a hurricane, driving around and over downed trees in the rd just for the second kiss lol well worth in about to be four years married just found out were having a girl, 20 weeks and a few days now, I'm like you I wouldn't know where to begin on my crazy stories...shew,,my back is like urs, my body is in bad shape for 30 but it's my bones and joints I'm in great shape so doing stuff you know is gonna really hurt later(or immediately) but still do...its all worth it to do wild stuff, I never played no video games or nothing and there was god, and love in my house too, I've been very blessed. I cant complain about nothing narry bit
Hey ironhorse how many 20 year olds have to seen now a days running chainsaw and driving cable skidders? I did but the guy I was working with got sick and wond up passing away
A teacher goes around her class asking each of the kids what do they need at home?
Joey says "A computer." The teacher replies, "That would be very useful."
Kimmy says "A new lawn mower," and she gets a similar response.
Little Johnny pops up and says, "At my house we don't need nothing!"
The teacher asks him to think again carefully, as everybody needs something.
Little Johnny replies, "Nope, I'm sure. When Bi--n was elected, I
remember my dad saying,
'Well, that was the last fucking thing we needed’.
I love it! Thanks!
Happy Birthday aging
I like your Dad!
Thank God in NZ we dont have Bid-n or Tru-p
@Slammer I plagiarized it like a bi--n could not resist.
Love the iron horse stories they might take awhile but u see the love and passion in ole Harvey’s heart I just wanna sit down and talk to this guy 😂
Love my Dolmar's. I have 3 and have had 8. 6100 is a killer saw.
We love you Ironhorse.
Your last porting video was so inspiring I purchased a Dremel 4300 and kit.
My son and I will be looking at your porting closeup pictures very closely.
Bless you for sharing your wisdom with us.
We turn off the TV and Turn On Ironhorse everyday!!!
You are absolutely right about the young people, I have always enjoyed being around the younger generation
Love the old stories. It's like everyone gets an iron horse grandpa.
Harvey I am just like you and feel the same way you do.. I love your stories thank you 🙏..ITS NOT OVER HARV 🙏❤️☮️🇺🇸
I am a few years older, army vet. The things you are telling about setting up a engine, I used a vacuum gauge , tack , dwell.
Had som great times drag racing.
I have enjoyed the time, and learned a lot about saws. Keep it coming 😆

You got it friend!
Youre so right. Im only 31 and my buddy and I were talking about how lazy the new generation is... And finally one day he goes "I guess there are a couple young guys that work hard with me... Maybe this is just what every generation says" and its true its the olders story in the book. There are plenty of hard workers out there, they are just young, and we've all been there
I have a Dolmar 6100 and Dolmar 5105 with easy start which I hate. On the high speed jet I noticed it looked solid and assume it was not adjustable' Look forwood to see muffler mod.
You hate the "easy start" because your using it improperly? It was my biggest challenge to get used to. You don't grab handle and start yanking away like you typically do. You just pull a rather slow but steady pull on rope. Let the spring assist do the work.
I had a 5105, lost it to a shed fire. Like it so well, I bought another. Unbeknownst to me, it didn't have the spring assist. It pulled so hard, I thought it was locked up or something. I really have to pin that little bitch to the ground firmly and pull hard and quick to turn her over. I'm not gonna like that when I'm older, that's for sure. I believe the compression was around 170 lbs on her. I'd much rather have the "easy start" after having owned both models.
I did at first but did it correctly and still hated it. I found a new replacement starter pull , its better. I think the real problem it floods so easy. on a cold start with choke it never pops so I keep using choke to long.
Hey iron horse I run a husky 570 xt have you had much to do with them? Love the channel of Australia 🇦🇺 👍
hi.that saw sounds great, hope we see in work too. that was a good story, a like to hear your storys harvey.
I'm sure you already thought of it but maybe that could be a vacume secondary, just got to figure out the spring tension on the linkage, under load she might suck open but it would be a tedious task!
Hey there,I have found a dolmar 116si and love it, would you be able to do video of the servicing from fuel filter to carburettor on servicing,had it 30 years without any issue, it's running rough and died after 5 minutes of use, thinking fuel filter,can you help with a video, cheers
I’m cutting fire wood Harvey. Not much snow to skid in my area and soft as shit underneath. But I can’t wait to see if it will freeze up.
I might have to play with my 575xp. I have always left it alone because it was a strato saw.
IRONHORSE, your thoughts on buying a used Husky 365 special for $250 or a HD Makita 6100 for $290?
Get the 365! 372 top end fits them easy!
That sounds really snappy now, even with the restricted exhaust. We need to get you a dynamometer.
love everything you do brother keep it up
Harvey I am helping my nephew get into the wood business
That saw runs real nice.I do prefer little bigger on hard maple that's always hard stuff.guess we'll c soon...
If you have grandparents, sit down with them and talk about your family history, before they are gone. You’ll be glad you did.
Been cutting and splitting firewood all week. Would like to hear what Steve has to say, history is fun. Take care Ironhorse!
Hi Harv! Saw sounds really nice now🤙 I have had a go at porting I done an stihl 024av... haven’t had it in the wood yet it needs a few little parts but runs nice n snappy
I have listened to a few of your stories before and I’ll admit there kinda crazy, but in a good way. When I seen “a story” in the the title. Count me in! lol So by all means, let’s meet this historian friend of yours. How about it✊
Harv,I know you're real busy and can't answer the RUclips questions. But, do you think blocking the stato butterfly will work on other saws? Like a ms391....
Nice to see you feeling better Harvey, missed the stories. I'm wondering if I can do a similar thing with my 460 Rancher, I know its a clamshell style saw so deck height cant be changed but carb and ports look similar to the Dolmar set up. Looking forward to seeing how it goes.Cheers from Tassie.
Harv this is great. I sent you some emails about coming out to meet you sometime. I honestly would like to try to disconnect that on a 575 and see what it does
What’s the negative affects of the top butterfly being hooked up vs not hooked like how does the strato hurt performance , I also have a ms-461 would love to hear your thoughts on the 461 or a build I know u don’t do strato saws is 461 a real strato saw love ya brother u remind me of a older me like lol
Sound good 👍
OH YA MY MAKITA 15 YEAR OLD 60CC CRANKS. THEY PULL HARD.VERY UNDER RATED

Which carburetor brand do you recommend for my MS440 and where to buy all my parts for my chainsaw, or should I just buy stihl parts straight from stihl
Anything not made in China
I dont like what I see on the surface either, do not throw in the towel yet uncle harv there's much more going on than meets the eye, study the art of war. Everything is gonna be ok buddy, I'm telling you
Love story time, the second time i met my wife I had to drive 25 miles out in the country in a hurricane, driving around and over downed trees in the rd just for the second kiss lol well worth in about to be four years married just found out were having a girl, 20 weeks and a few days now, I'm like you I wouldn't know where to begin on my crazy stories...shew,,my back is like urs, my body is in bad shape for 30 but it's my bones and joints I'm in great shape so doing stuff you know is gonna really hurt later(or immediately) but still do...its all worth it to do wild stuff, I never played no video games or nothing and there was god, and love in my house too, I've been very blessed. I cant complain about nothing narry bit
