I love your appreciation for older things that obviously work! Theres a lot to be said about "if it ain't broke, dont fix it". I do the same in my job, and as much as new technology is great, it is not always needed! Keep on bucking Buckin'!
Howdy buckin my first saw in 79 was the 922 super xl I was logging and living off the grid out of Terrace , that saw kept the family warm for many winters and I still have it today. The company I worked for at the time had one on all the equipment and they would make quick work on the big sticks. And our crummy was a 77 f250 with a stick. cheers Dave
Neat old saw! I enjoy running my grandfathers old Super XL and still get it out a few times each year. Its heavy, but man does it cut. Now I know why my grandfather was deaf, that sucker is LOUD!
I love watching your videos my friend. My dad was a logger in the 70’s and 80’s, he ran a homelite 925xl. He also ran those old fords like yours. Happy early Father’s Day to you and all that read this.
@@victoriousvictor7978 I've got one that needs a cylinder. It scored a piston. I got one, and when I cleaned up the cylinder I found a big pit in the chrome. That's ok. I have a 903 I can get back up and running to pass the time. I think I'll use a 923 cylinder. They say the square port cylinder doesn't overheat as bad as the oval port.
When I was 8 years old I was told by my father that if I could start this saw that I could run it. I wasn't big enough or strong enough to start it normally. I had to stand on top of the saw and pull with both hands and I was able to get it started. From that point on it was my job to buck firewood with it and supply the family home with wood for the heater. I was regretting ever starting it when I was a kid. But as an adult having a chainsaw in my hands is second nature. I have told this story a few times growing up and if it were not me that experienced it I would have a hard time believing it myself. But it's a pretty big saw to start off with as a little kid. I had a very abnormal childhood. That's one story of many. Thanks for the video! Brought back some great memories!
i love my old homelites , They arent the fastest saw in the shed but they sure are fun to run , great content Buckn, 900 series homelites were great landing saws back in the old days. imho
@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Things are great Billy...im loving life and my family. And Im grateful for what you do here. Your channel and this community are second to none !! Your channel and your personality help get me thru the day. Keep it up !! 👍👌💪
That homelite amazes me that makes me want my gramps old ones love how they are rare and still you find a wrap around. Bar for every killer saw you run
Ive been running saws most Of my life I never was interested in old ones now ive been grabbing them up. I got a partner p55 and and old mac along with a stihl051 so far
Just came across your videos , I love it lol can feel the saw vibration through phone lol, super xl 922 , had one back east with a 28 inch bar , made my 2054 turbo johnsenred look sad beside it lol , can still remember first time cracked it open lmao felt like growling like Tim the toolman , wasn't long cutting rakes down an chewing hemlock trees up , wish I knew about porting back then , keep up the great work an yes , we all should get along , Merry Christmas an God bless for the holidays, p.s hitting the subscribe button now ha ha
That was a common problem on the Super XLs....a batch of bolts at the factory never got the threadlocker.....many saws got tossed into the trash because of that.
You are like the mad scientist of chainsaws Buckin’! Love it!. I have a 550 and 750 Homelite, both are project saws but haven’t got to them yet. Hi to All.
Talk to Leon's chainsaw parts and repair on RUclips he specializes in Homelite he can tell you anything you want to know about them love the old Homelites nice saw
My first saw was an old 71" homelite XL-12 It was my fathers saw and I still have the thing.Loudest saw I ever ran and heavy, they do cut but not much on hi revs, all the power is low end and midrange. oh and they are manual pump oilers too
923xl Billy according to acreinterest.com is 1974 82.1 cc Till Hs-151A Looks like it runs so well. Definitely gov'ed. You look like you are having fun. Thanks so much.
HI BUCKIN that cuts good the carb is 2 rich I tell by sound of it and exhaust smoke and it's not turning the R,S it should buckin now I see what's wrong w it the carb itself is holding the saw back no wonder why it's not turning the rpms it should buckin that saw has the pulling power in the cut I find and change the carb another 1 the same size then cut w it U will see the difference between both carbs it will be alot better w another carb 😊😊 OMG 3 28 2O23
Does that Homelite have a manual oiler? My dad's old Echo had one but I completely forgot about it until seeing that. That thing runs well. I'm impressed. Hard to believe homelite didn't make it. They don't seem to have the market share or product line they used to in the 80's and 90's. Thanks for sharing. You look like you're really enjoying yourself.
Being that your a role model for up and coming tree folks, I personally think safety no glasses was the only thing weird about this video. I seriously am not ripping on ya, I just want everyone to go home with all their fingers and toes!!! Happy cutting
I got a splinter IN my eyeball, cutting a fir just like that bro man, that's only reason I bring it up. Pretty soon I'm going to tell the story of almost going thru a 12 in Vermeer chipper on my little channel
I bought a 923 new in november of 72. I need to drag it out and see If I can bring it back to lofe. Im tired of plastic chain saws amd loosey goosey vibration isolation. Naw i want 30 to 1 fuel mix lots of smoke and noise and no more roller tip bars. Ive got two 1960,s XL12 homelites that run good. I just am hankering for the bigger saw.
The Terry Industries 922's came with a Tillotson HS carb, some of which had a unique semi-fixed H jet. They were run at about 1/8 turn open from seated. The 151 model and some others had this jet. All had governors though. The combination of the semi-fixed and governor likely alleviated a lot of them being burnt up. Some can suffer from air leaks though. The strong return springs had a tendency to wear the throttle shaft and bore oblong. Air leak symptoms and erratic idle/WOT symptoms. I personally block the governors off using a small disk of aluminum or such in the pocket of the governor. Makes tuning them much easier. Seals are SKF 6119 on both sides. Worth it. I run versions with both the semi-fixed and standard Tilly's. Either setup cuts well. Convincing saws. One of mine with the semi-fixed going after some Douglas. ruclips.net/video/v8BvE1w1u8U/видео.html
Hogg Wood I love it when somebody turns up with all the information. Hey you don’t know much about pioneers do you? I’m having trouble with super 3270, air screw in reed block I just can’t seem to set
I don't have the "air inject" setup on mine. It is the later 3270SC. I know some others that have tinkered with that style. I think I have some literature. Can check. I know they are sensitive to setup and if you have any other pressure or vacuum leaks in the fuel system from seals to gaskets, they can be difficult to set.
I checked for you. 2 turns out from seated on the Inject Aire screw . I'd start with the L circuit around 1-1 1/4. Small adjustments from there. Make certain the carb to block gasket has holes for the Inject and L holes on the block and carb. They are not blind holes.
@@hoggwood5957 thanks for helping me out, i have one i restored/built up from parts and a parts saw i bought that turned out to be a strong runner. so i just copied how the parts saw was set,it had bypassed primer and i copied the setuip but think that is my biggest issue, am finding it hard to find a generic primer bulb with the corect size fittings for fuel line, so i made a reducer. that worked ok then would stop drawing fuel, So bypassed it same as parts saw and cant get any life, also rebuilding mac 850
Buckin, you have probably been asked this before...why do you pull the starter rope out about a foot when you shut your saws off? Still kind of new here. Peace Brother!
Hi mate, love those straight logs, loggers here would kill for that wood. I see many straight logs for good timber but it is used for firewood, Billy please educate me on why this is not used for building timber?
there is a long answer and a short one , if they needed to build something they wood mill it, building with this material cannot be used inside unless graded by a professional wood grader , you are also left with all the mill side cuts, in order to sell logs here you need a timber mark . an this particular job this is a common land of 7 owners who all burn firewood ,, firewood often becomes the option to make it all go away and folks get to heat there homes and sit around the fire watchin buckin' videos loloplol ,, on our last job we had 15 loads of logs which wood never go to firewood .... 6 trees on the othe hand .... there is much more i could ramble on about ,, but wont,, love ya buddy hope this helps some what
Thanks Billy, watched your recent video post where you were logging timber near a house with machine stacking, great felling, your heart although beating out of your shirt was right in it, good stuff.

Right 👍
Well that 922 was just a torque monster,but THAT 94 OMG .Like a 502 big block awesome
i love my old homelites , They arent the fastest saw in the shed but they sure are fun to run , great content Buckn, 900 series homelites were great landing saws back in the old days. imho
Nice old Homelite. I have a smaller Super XL.
Those 900 series home lights have a lot of torque come full some big bars through some big wood still run a few of those bad boys in my collection
That old homelite is cool and all but that damn 394 eats. Wow that saw is sweet. Super cool.
Now were talking, love my Homies. I've got a 770 and a 925. I just love hearing these spool up and run flat smooth all the way through. Have fun man.
Thanks for showing us how to sharpen the chain. My chainsawing days are so much more rewarding.
Nice sound on 922, but the 394 is badass...... :D
Love both saws, they were made to run!! Husqvarna has a warm fuzzy spot in my heart though.
Grew up on these old homelites and still use them. Would still rather use them than yhe new saws. Love your appreciation of these machines
Be kind, but never let your guard down!
Love the old homelites Bill be kind have 3 of the 925 xls love the mean sound at idle like a drag car ready to run saw on

I have a couple of Homelite Super XL 925s. These saws are power houses and built like a tank. They just keep on going & going.
my old STHL 066 that i ported and polished is just like this it doesn't sound like a chain saw any more it sounds like a motor cycle
That homelite amazes me that makes me want my gramps old ones love how they are rare and still you find a wrap around. Bar for every killer saw you run

Man, that Husky EATS!!!!! Super strong!
Sometimes the bolts behind the flywheel will vibrate loose and scrub against the flywheel. Had it happen on one of my super xl's.

Ahwooooo 👍
Neat saw
Hey buddy it 77.2cc, that's what size the motor is on the old 922. Really buckin powersaw there. Be safe brother
The Matalica of the chainsaw :)
Damn if you didn't nail that one on the head.
Buckin', get your hand on the 925 or the 955. It's the 83cc version. crazy power.
The sxl925 is 82cc & so is the 955. It's just a anti-vibe version.
Mr. Homelite yep. Thanks. Couldn’t remember 82 or 83. I have one of each. Love them. Great runners.
I have one im trying to get a piston for. Piston is cooked but the pot is alright tha k god.
Have you checked Leon’s?
Might not be the best performing chainsaw but she sure sounds sweet! Remember your grandma is vintage too.
good lord that husky rips if u watch the tip of the bar the chain is spinning so fast u can see lift off the bar
"...Rattling up that old logging trail in search for a buckskin log...." Think you found one on this video!!!
I want one like that 😍 922
The old 922 goes okay doesn’t she. But that 394 is just next level.
Love to all, hope everyone has a fantastic day.
Great video. Did I just see you and your son on a preview for the new season of Axe Men???
Nice!

Used to have one . Piece of junk. Stihl and Husky are the only saws that you can make a living with.
You need to run my XL 925. I put a high speed nozzle in the carb and it’s a monster.
I bought a 923 new in november of 72. I need to drag it out and see If I can bring it back to lofe. Im tired of plastic chain saws amd loosey goosey vibration isolation. Naw i want 30 to 1 fuel mix lots of smoke and noise and no more roller tip bars. Ive got two 1960,s XL12 homelites that run good. I just am hankering for the bigger saw.

The Husky manages that shorter bar quite well, I would say. 😃
Buckin, you have probably been asked this before...why do you pull the starter rope out about a foot when you shut your saws off? Still kind of new here. Peace Brother!
Ray, I think he says it saves wear on the clutch somehow.
Because the shut off recoil can snap the rope
@@amd65ak47 it cant snap it but it can damage it
Did I miss the “ax men” announcement??? Buckin how have we not seen the film crew in the background?
I have an xl12 and its a mean little saw
Hey Buckin, If or when you get a minute, could please explain the pros and cons on the governed carb? Thanks for the vids from a freind in Maine.
Just keeps the saw from over revving. The older saw govenors work by adding extra fuel.
