David Bradley Direct Drive Saw - Rustoration

[@mattfleming86]

I love how you get progressively more sauced as the night wears on. It's like watching my wife work it's a beautiful thing. Sweet old saw dude.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Haha!

[@bluegrallis]

Dad bought one of those for his first ever chain saw, back in about 1958. The salesman at Sears and Roebuck, gave us boys a brand new all leather football when we picked it up.(the football is long gone and rotted away I'm sure) One of my brothers picked another one up somewhere at a sale about 30 years ago. Both have been stashed away in Dad's old barn for decades. Think I better get them out and make one run. I'll just need a jib crane on the back of my truck to lift it, and swing it out over the log. 😎😎

[@Dsdcain]

Those old saws give you an appreciation of how hard the guys running it worked. They seem to weigh a ton and a half after just a few hours use. Great video. Appreciate the share. 😉

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks man, they sure do!

[@wesleycallison2079]

A few minutes for me! But when they were made, ALL chainsaws were big and heavy.

[@brokeboymotorsports5674]

I love the mindset of people not wanting to fix things .yesterday I found a riding mower , push mower and a 3 ton floor jack on the curb. So if people kept fixing things I wouldn’t be makin money

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Haha, that is true!

[@oldbowsaw9001]

Love your sense of humor with the old saws!!! I to enjoy working and running the vintage saws.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks 👍

[@hog1450]

New video! Always brightens my day!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Glad to hear!

[@AndyH-13]

Enjoyed your video and that you didn’t fully restore the saw and kept it original.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks for watching! Sometimes worn originality is better than any restoration.

[@knezo98]

I like your style of video making. Keep it up 😁

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks man, we're trying!

[@wesleycallison2079]

I have a few DB gear drives. I try to keep one running. At least I have lots of parts. I don't take them cutting wood unless I can back right up to the pile and pull them off the tailgate and place them directly on the wood. They do cut !

[@Jethrosgarage]

I had shit to do today then too cheap drops a vid, project delayed by 20:39!

[@ziptiesnbiasplies]

Fuck! I just finished pooping and then realized that you uploaded a new Vidya! I guess it's gotta wait until next paid poo break #20minshitbreakpaidinfull

[@coopersherman5445]

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Haha, awesome!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

A real mans chainsaw!

[@xWheres831x]

Awesome video!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks!

[@eugenefredrickson8714]

Fantastic!! I have 3 of those D.B. boat anchors in desperate need of attention.. I'm sure you're up to it but it would take the duese & a half to transport em. Cool vijayo.. My wife wanted to know why I was giggling like a school girl while watching my phone and sharpening my axe. I claimed for-play and I'm gonna stick with that.. Cheers.. K

[@elcaminokyle6561]

I’ve got the same damn saw but a bigger bar! If I remember correctly there’s a video of it on my channel but I got distracted halfway through the rebuild... maybe I should start again

[@mnmarlin6074]

Hoarding pays!

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

Made back when men were men and chainsaws weighed 30 lbs. And they liked it.

[@allanfonseca3016]

Awesome

[@Youtubeuser525]

👍 merry Christmas, you earned a sub

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Thanks, you too!

[@davedemo8229]

i see it has your kind of muffler. Nice job.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Yup! lol

[@TWLML420]

i bought a 1960's Mac for 20 bucks at a garage sale and got it running. it was a runner, i had if for a few years and sold it to a young guy who thought it was cool .

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Cool, glad to see younger people interested in this stuff.

[@Buzzard-wq1bw]

Finding these big ol bastards is difficult in the south, my daddy’s been using shitty 34 and 42cc poulans n splitting mauls to cut trees that are 4-5ft in diameter for years now and it’s almost painful to watch, and when he did get a new saw he got the smallest offering stihl had. I’ve been wanting to rebuild one of these monsters for him for... well since I was 12 and I’m almost done with tech school now. hoping someday I’ll find one for 40-50$ someday.

[@behrett2374]

Finding a 1/2 chain for a fairly good price and in good condition is pretty hard I have a 1953 Clinton r55 g1 and it uses 1/2 inch chain

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Good to know, will have to grab 1/2" chains if they come up.

[@samjmarsay]

Peg sent me. Why are you filming with one hand? You invented the hat!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Haha! Hat-cam doesn't always work so well on close up shots, the go pro has a really wide angle lens.

[@1Also]

0:08 Thundercat eh?....I’m guessing you’re Panthro en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panthro

[@jonnusorsa]

Don’t forget to make a video of the Hilux in plow work.

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Haha, we just need some snow!!

[@davidparker667]

I know ;)

[@robertd6925]

Do these have automatic oilers?

[@toocheaptosmoke]

I don't think so, manual pump only.

[@robertd6925]

Who carries parts for these?

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Really depends on what you need, carb and some other more "generic" engine parts can likely be sourced with some measuring and cross referencing.

[@jeffreymartin6451]

Zip ties and bias plys sent me

[@ziptiesnbiasplies]

Fuck yea he did!

[@toocheaptosmoke]

Right on man!
