Wonderful video, brings back great memories. I ran that Mac sp125 also known as the cart, back in the 70s. When Mac stop making it I ran the 2100 Husqvarna. We had one that was fitted with a carbator of a 090 still. That cut almost as fast as the Sp125. Unfortunately it needed a top end after about 6 weeks of production cutting. Thanks for the great video!
My uncle who is in his 90s, has a 2 man chainsaw that he and my grandpa used when logging in the Appalachian Mountains over 60-80 years ago. It's a monster with a bar over 5' long and handles on both ends. I saw it in use when I was a kid but have never used it and don't want to. I must weigh close to 100lbs, there is no chain-brake and almost no guards-- never was.
@@NothingButChainsaws PS. That saw was used in NC, TV, VA. WV, KY, MD, and PA as my Grandpa bought tracts of hardwood to sawmill for the furniture mills in NC. I only remember the last sawmill he owned. It was powered by an International engine that started on gasoline and switched to diesel after it warmed up. No pony motor.
I grew up with a dad that used an 090 with the six foot blade. He wasn't technically a faller but he did use it alot. I grew up on the west coast of BC being around fallers I didn't really think yay or nay about them. They were just there. What was obvious was that they did have money. Alot of it. What they were also doing was crashing trans ams alot as well. Most of them survived but everything crashed around the late 80's. The old growth was all gone and there weren't any more faller jobs. The last guy my dad knew died of cancer around the mid 90's ...he was in his 30's....
Even though the old chainsaws were huge,they were slow compared to saws half their size today.But the old saws were not meant to be speed demons,they were meant to be easier than using crosscuts and axes.I have watched 2 good men on a crosscut beat an old gear drive chainsaw by several seconds,but there was no way they could have kept that pace for even half a day.
@@NothingButChainsaws It was the main reason i tried to watch was to hear the saws, i do understand though , i end up muting or just not watching when there is music but i`m a drop in the bucket have a great weekend
Sounds that never get old, 7.3 powerstroke, chain saw deep in a tree, 2 stroke dirt bikes, and the sound of hinge wood as the tree is starting to go down.
Once I met someone in an Old Growth forest that wanted to climb to the top to see what lives there 🤓 I suggested something much easier than climbing it. Cut it down and walk to the top and look 😎 The look was worth a million bucks 🤣👍
Give these guys a chainsaw in from today, and they could cut anything you told em to! I remember using my old two-man saw with a guy named tom. That was real logging
@@NothingButChainsaws Check with Acres internet Chainsaw Collectors Corner. That's a where all the chainsaw collectors were back years ago. It was the first major rendezvous point for us chain saw nuts.
@@NothingButChainsaws All I need is a part for the starter rope housing. Searched the internet years ago, didn't find what I needed, but probably should look again. It was running right up to the time the starter housing gave out.
@@NothingButChainsaws Thanks, I'll check out FB. Did find a part I needed for an early 1990's Poulan 405 Plus on Ebay several years ago. That thing's a monster and still running. Just started sawing up a 41" diameter (at the base) wind blown oak with it.
@@NothingButChainsaws I have an SP81, no shit, I may part with. Haven’t decided yet. It has the fixed hi jet carb and being at 1300 feet above sea level the tune is maybe 60%. I’m changing the carb to a walbro sdc65. I am however gonna sell my pro Mac 10-10 I fully rebuilt. Interested?

Good morning buddy now u talkn my language lol the logging life has always been a great part of my life and I have always loved old saws as well love seeing them ol homelites walkin the dog I'm that log lol. The big McCullough's as well as those stihls a couple of flat tops and a 056 Magnum 2 I spotted an I forget what the blue saw that that gentleman was filling is but I believe it is Canadian. I drop timber every day with my 066 flattop and if it doesn't handle the job or o get the 66 pinched 😬😞😞 I get my stihl 085av electronic out it's sportn a 42" cannon bar in .404,63full skip chain. My 66 is pulln a 32"Oregon power match in 3/8 full skip. An I just recently got a Stihl MS 461 back together I been usen it in small patches it's runnin 20" 3/8 FULL HOUSE with a 8pin sprocket I turned the fuel up alil and open the muffler up an removed the inner baffle crap am dual port cover tweaked the bottom coil post away from the flywheel a hair so now the factory coil is unlimited rpm I tuned the high jet alilan it's shocking how it screams with the 20" an 8pin especially in popular 🤗🤗😍😍😬😬😬😋😂😁😁😁 instant smile lol. I'm rounding up parts an then probably get it ported pretty good an put a hyway pop up and some caber rings with a base gasket delete the lil coil mod and Max flow air filter and cover ported muffler and bump the fixed jet inside the carb on the high side an I believe that will be a very evil set up with a new 28"light bar. Then after break in an few tanks of gas after that I'm going to do a full build possible big bore ported pop up maybe decked cylinder I don't know yet an few more goodies lol. Sorry for the essay. Love ur video hope all is well and stay safe bud.
I don't care about trees but man the trees that are literally wider than a mini van getting cut down hurts a lil bc we all know trees like that don't exist anymore
Oh wait, if you don't know what the song is, then what's the video that has the song playing? You can just send one link to it, sorry that I took a month to finally respond.
Respect to all the old woodsman out there ✊
Big time!
I saw allot of hard hats can't believe Nobody had safety glasses!

Nice video, I love watching these old clips of real men and machines it took to get the job done. Thank You!
Thanks for watching friend!
I have 46 chainsaws dated back far as 1952.. ones used in the Ouachita National Forest.. enjoyed ur video..

Old school muscle for sure!
GREAT!!! video! Really enjoy all these old classics!

waynes was the best saw shop around for years
Cool old footage!

Good Tools 🛠🍻
Nothing beats an 090.
McCulloch Super Pro 125, runner up?
I really like how you mixed background music and sound of chainsaws.. :)
Pure gold. The video would be great even if it was the 1960's or 1970's
Thanks for watching friend!
I love seeing those stihl 056 mag 2’s at work I have one it’s triple ported running 42 full house and I have dropped trees 8 feet across with it
Heck yeh, nice saw for sure. Thanks for watching friend!
I have a collection of the old PM Canadiens and a Skil 1690

It's a hard job now , but it was super hard in those days , and then you have the toughest axe and crosscut
Yeh those guys definitely worked harder in those days. Thanks for watching friend!
Very well done. Brings back alot of good memories.

I could live without the music lets the saws do the singing
Some vids had no sound, so I just put the music in it to keep from hearing silence!

It was on my editing software!
Really awesome to see how far chainsaws have come
It pretty cool, thanks for watching friend!

Amazing how risky it used to be without the safety gear we have today.
Way too cool brother.. I really want a two man McCulloch...
I'd like to have one just to hang up, I couldn't bring myself to use it lol. Thanks for watching!
@@NothingButChainsaws I'd restore and cut some trees for a video then store it lol...
I had the motor from a 2 man saw. We polish and ported it and put it in a go cart. We also put a tillison HD carb on it. Ran great
@@larrykluckoutdoors8227 that's awesome.... Bet it was a blast.... Have a great day my friend
Have poulan h200 from the fifties i think. It's still usable, weighs 30 pounds or more no safety at all . 20 inch.all cast aluminum. Is a animal.
Definitely a beast of a saw!

Some after market should make them.

Thanks for watching, I love older saws. They are tanks compared to modern saws. I'm no chainsaw guru but love working on them.
Boy, all these guys must of been deaf before they hit 40 or so. Not a one had hearing protection. 😯
I'd put money on it!
Alot of saws around here are found at the bottom of an old unit. To heavy or just not worth packin up.
Please let me know who does the first song, I like it
Its a song from the RUclips library!
If it's a song from the RUclips library, does anybody there have any idea what it's called? It's so good that I can listen to it everyday.

Nice pickles , and this family is supported by the timber dollar , and $5.78 a gallon deisl and 30 mph weight road restrictions
Why would u start the video with the cheapest amazon chain saw money can buy???
I was expecting to see some saws. not people cutting trees
Somewhere out there, if you listen carefully, you can hear a bunch of liberal tears falling like raindrops as a bunny- hugger weeps
A professional cutter starting the video with a knock off blue saw. You bet.
