Dusty old McCulloch surprises me

This old McCulloch 840 gear drive has been hanging up in my shop covered in years of dust. Lets figure this chainsaw out

[@buildmor]

My new most favoritest channel!! When I was a kid in the mid-60s my uncle logged his own land and ran his own one-man sawmill. He milled railroad ties out of oak in north-central Pennsylvania. God rest his soul. He ran an old monster Mac like those you're working on there! Thanks for bringing back those memories

[@woodswalker7907]

Dragged out my McCulloch 3216 that I've had for about 35 years,hadn't used for 25.Put in new gas lines,spark plug and air cleaner,new primer bulb, fuel filter and blew out the carb with compressor,sharpened the chain(original)all for about 6 dollars from ebay and it runs like brand new!Been using it lately,thanks Buckin for reminding me to bust it out!

[@tazman-kennyfuller]

I love it when an old saw comes back to life. Time well spent just like every minute of the day being kind and helping out. Buck on Buckin

[@chrissherman223]

I love the offering of gas can bongos to the McCulloch spirits. 🥁🙏🏼

[@moofdoggmike]

Pure happiness! Drum like nobody is watching Buckin, oh you did!!! Great message fella. Hello to all new uns and everyone. Love yinz.

[@elioselectric468]

I'm glad this was the first video I ever saw because it's still one of his best.

[@deodatojesus2519]

You must be a happy man, God bless you. Continue with that joy stamped on your face Embrace of Madeira Island

[@derrickpfister1512]

Another great one from Buckin Billy. The more I watch the more I learn and the more it helps me to remember stories my grandad told me. Cuttin wood and fallin trees on power line roads when he worked for Pennsylvania power and light. I love it Buckin and I owe you and great big thanks for your videos they help those old memories surface and give me smiles. Be kind everyone.

[@kevinhall2266]

New viewer. Buckin' I love your passion. I bought a McCulloch pro 10-10 forty two years ago to clear my land for a cabin. Still living in the cabin and still have my Mac. Still running it today. I haven't done a thing to the saw other than a bar a few years back and a couple of chains. Still running like new. Love my Mac. It has a big heart. Be safe my friend.

[@maxgoldstein6067]

I love the gas can medley! That should be an intro to every video!

[@big_mike_nyc]

DIG DEEP!!! I love it I say that all the time in the gym! That saw is a beast!! Looks like a freakin lawn mower motor!!!!

[@henryo3607]

Everything you do with saws and axes I enjoy it all , I’ve been into it for many years , I’m in my 50s and I’m still learning, love what your doing and educating me keeps the spark going .

[@Indeewoods]

Love the words you said to that 13 year old Kid. Made me smile. Cheers Buckin.

[@lonnievalencia5487]

I see you lifting that old saw, and see that it takes some effort, I can't imagine lugging that saw all day doing big tree production cutting, those old fellers were some kind of tough! I can remember the first saw that I got back into service, the feeling of OMG its going to run, can remember the great felling that accompanied the moment. I see that feeling on your face, makes a man feel good about everything. grrrreat going buckin

[@naomi.dodson]

man that's awesome I'm ready to see that dinosaur put to work I really love this channel you got I just subscribed and I'm glad I did I love seeing good ole people still able to work hard and enjoy life thank you your very inspiring

[@naomi.dodson]

@@proteuspatrick7958 thanks

[@TowMater]

What a beautiful saw, wow sounds really solid. You will have the puppy running in no time. Hello to the family. And hello to all the new subscribers and the rest of the Buckin Army of kindness

[@davidthorne6796]

Dude....you’re a trip! Way to transfer the positive vibes into her! You’re a crazy kid....my friend!!!👍😁😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Thanks for the guttural laughs!!! I just got an abdominal workout!!! “This is serious business....folks!” Ahahaaaa!!!

[@hiscifi2986]

Looking at the specs on that saw, it is a 99cc reed valve made in 1963/4. It has a 1/2 inch chain, and the power head alone weighs 27 1/2 lbs. It only says the carburettor is a McCulloch with a Primer. I bought a vintage lawn mower yesterday, that fired up using the same starting method.... Hi Hi..

[@mkadventures2313]

Man that saw sounds good.. Two stroke family for LIFE!

[@kennyking6325]

Friends, I truly love 9:55 when Buckin gets on a steel drum session! I smiled so hard my side started aching. I love you

[@justagreenmountainguy9643]

Man Buckin!! every time I hear you fire up one of those old McCullochs it brings a flood of memories of being with my dad out in our woods. I think he had a 300? Big heavy beast. Loud! Manual primers and oiler. Its long gone and my Dad as well. Over 26 years now, but the memories are with me forever. The simplest things like the sound of the old saws? I can't put into words what emotions it brings to me. Priceless!! Thank you for doing what you do! Sincerely, Gordy

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

yer welcome budy

[@farmalltractor]

you are the man. A good piece of advice on every video!!! My old man always says it doesn't cost a dime to be nice but the rewards are priceless. Keep up the good work.

[@richarddropik9652]

That’s a awesome beast of a saw. McCulloch was the first saw that I had bought new it is a timber bear that saw crank’s right on up, the oil pump quit working haven’t found a replacement for it, great channel buckin you are always informative and a great sense of humor keep up the good work.

[@shoedog8483]

You are definitely tuned into the rhythm of your mind body and soul and life ! I learn so much on this channel ! Good vibes all over the place here ! Very refreshing !

[@timsmithoutdoors]

Just watched this again Buck. The bongos crack me up every time Hahaha! Love ya brother! Hope you’re well!

[@charleypearson2314]

Bucking' Billy Ray Smith - you are a trip! Keep ' em coming!

[@jonathanfuller3873]

Bucking I have watched many of your videos enjoyed every one of them but never laughed as hard as I've laughed on this one you are a great man Inspire us all and give all the credit to the man upstairs thank you buckin for your inspiration to all of us

[@Z-Bart]

"He's driving the bus, we're just passengers". 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@timidater4803]

Wow!! Best quote ive heard from Buckin Yet!! Rock on Brother!!

[@prestonwallace345]

If buckin is my bus drivers he my favorite one

[@kingbeat101]

The drumming intermission's were awesome!!!..And the praying was even better..:)..Yee Ha!!!!!..Love your show!!!!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Hey Buckin'! Just picked up a Mac 640 Gear Drive and cannot wait to fire it up and try it in some wood. I agree. With that gearing, the torque must be phenomenol! Thanks for a great video! Building the Buckin' Army in Southeastern Pennsylvania!

[@joshspoto6226]

Gas can percussion! Now that’s awesome! Have a great day soldiers of kindness

[@StihlChainsaws]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂when you set down to start praying....I lost it, because of the body Language! Good stuff😉🙏

[@t.texasty]

Almost pissed my pants laughing at the sight of Buckin praying to the chainsaw spirits and playing voodoo drums on a couple gas cans! That was hilarious. Ya freakin wingnut :) On a serious note that old saw sounds strong, that gear drive will pull a 48'' bar all day and never bog down no matter how hard you push it

[@skinnypedaldown5044]

Man alive! Holy smokes. Spot on. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

[@oldmanfred8676]

Best method ever to clean a chainsaw but I put my glasses down? I love tinkerin’ too! Fixed two Tanaka’s, had to order a part for one and take the others hand grip apart to reposition the spring. So satisfying! Now to see if they will run! Loved the pour, sluce, pour metaphor! I like the gas can Bongo betterin’ the Drums!

[@thespiritof76..]

Buckin you just impressed the shit outta me on the cantina club kit! Nice foot work

[@jonnyg172]

Not boring at all love the way you operate

[@marktownsend2009]

Billy Billy Billy Billy Billy you have the best video's on KZbin keep up the awesome work you do for the Army

[@Thetreefella]

I just love love love getting saws that are in good shape.💛🖤💛

[@mikem3929]

that thing sounds awesome!! every time i watch your channel i get flashbacks of 12 years old with my Uncle and his brother in the woods teaching me to cut wood with a little Homelite and a 14" bar.. and every chance i had i would grab their bigger saws and run them till my arms gave out lol btw a new needle and seat or just a good cleaning and your set with that thing.

[@robertsimard735]

That old girl sounds awesome.

[@RICHIE_RICH89]

I really love carb work. And have done a ton since i was a little guy. Tearing them down and soaking them and compressed air is your best bet if it runs like heck and you can not get any adjustments out of the high or low jet or have to prime to keep it running. I have done ao many its unreal. Just be carful for orings and washer and seats ect. That is a cool saw.

[@josysteinbach4097]

Danse of the Chainsawitis 👏👍🤣🇮🇪🇫🇷🐸 you made my days , with these percussion my back is much better , this chainsaw look s like a Jumbo jet the size of this Mc 👏👍

[@mistermacgray]

It's a McCulloch flatback. I did a stihl 090 carb swap on my 895, just have to put the McCulloch tilly low profile bottom plate on the 090, then and flip the telly lever arm and you are good to go. Throttle linkage tweaking or custom done may have to happen. I zip ties the choke open and just use a squirt bottle to fire it over as my choke. Hope that helps.

[@naybreed]

Back in the day we called this a Muckaluck. When I purchased mine back then. There was about 3ft of wire wrapped around the clutch. They do run though.

[@danielwancio3919]

Now done saying "Now I've seen everything", because the obvious energy transfer from the drums solves all

[@1944chevytruck]

Buckin try using a heat gun or hand held hair dryer and heat things up...WOW! GREAT WEATHER WE ARE HAVING!!!!...thanks for video and be kind all!...CONGRATS!!!---->>>73K subscribers! KOOL OLD SAW GEAR DRIVE!

[@mikemoore8135]

You might have started mating season for the wildlife with the gas can⛽️ bongo playing. 😂

[@buckinbrewer9354]

Pull the carb apart and use kerosene to clean the parts. I do it all the time and it eats the gasoline and oil up and breaks it apart amazingly well.

[@gweedo3578]

Did you just say a prayer to the chainsaw gods?.....hahah that's awesome!

[@Jezzy535]

yar mad in the head and Im loving it, what I call a pleasant kind of madness. The videos are great. Lets all be kind. So glad I found your channel.

[@heathhigdon2815]

Love the video, good to know that if things don't work out for you as a logger you always have drumming to fall back on. As far as your saw I'm very familiar with those carburetors, they use a huge diaphragm and it's easier to find unicorn horns and chicken teeth than one of those carb kits so if you do manage to find a source please let me know. There is a company that sells sheets of the diaphragm material and you can cut your own but looks a little tricky to rivet the metal disk back on. I have a 797 that uses the same carb along with 17 other McCulloch's. 51 total saw's and growing, trying to start a small chainsaw/logging museum in western North Carolina. Really enjoy your videos and enthusiasm Glad to see that I'm not the only guy out there that eats sleeps and breathes chainsaws

[@billydarico6180]

My friend had one in the 80s he let me use it on some rather big sugar/rock maples I live in New England and these trees get huge there hard wood this saw motored right thru them like nothing I wish I had that saw now it was really cool to run and hear!

[@poppopscarvinshop]

Great Chops Buckin'!! Drummin' Is How I Pray!! Love Ya' Much!

[@maxair420]

Hi Buckin 👋🏽. U def have a drip..use the channel locks the other way for even more grip. Have a great day friend 👍🏽

[@dunydesignsCamarasyMas]

are you kidding me? oh my good i love your collection! nice video and funny.

[@munched55]

It's usually the carb but by the struggle you had with the fuel cap, I'd bet the cap isn't venting either. There's a dozen parts inside the cap that you can pluck out and give 'em a clean. First pop the lid in the center of the cap off and go from there.

[@williamgoring7605]

You have a lot of chainsaws back there you're working on I can definitely tell which chainsaws your favorite you get kind of excited does you but I tell you what you're the man with all those chainsaws that's for sure and I definitely love the way you brought God into the video and you spoke to that boy whoever he was told him right God bless you now let's see that chainsaw run

[@markdaniel1725]

Your heading should be :- ‘G’day friends’ that’s how we say it in Australia 🇦🇺😜 Keep up the work!

[@jeffreyjeffers156]

Hello buckin and friends good too see ya back and hope all is good

[@Popgunner101]

Hey! Nice to visit your place today. There's a crazy guy there. Crazy in a good way. Keep it up!

[@gpn854]

I got my McCulloch 650 running right . With that carb, it's an automatic choke . Let it idle when it starts to warm up , then give it throttle . Mine stops too if I try to rev it up too soon .

[@gpn854]

Billy ... Carb kits available from Discount Marine Parts LLC , Bark River , MI. --- Gary Taylor owner .

[@ryanemerry]

That was a fun video, loved it!

[@DeerParkFarmstead]

You’re so awesome Buckin’! Nice chops on the skins.

[@snowman6678]

Check out the archives and experience some of the life lessons that helped me beat booze and love myself better. This place/channel will change your life. Love wins!

[@nickywalsh8492]

Fuel cans music was priceless Buckin it would be great if you kept original carb with new fuel pump diaphragm and did another little vid of results...tbh I haven't look but I figure your the only channel with a gear drive dead saw ....I would love to see your reaction to cutting with this machine.....was gear drive short lived before the clutch system was developed??

[@michaelsinclair8279]

So, enduring another day of drudge and grind. Oh, what's this? Buckin' is on, sweet. Day is better. Tho' if I end up attracting the spirits of the forest with Bongos, my missus will want a word with you!

[@WoolysWorld]

That saw is a beast

[@jacklowe3788]

Love the working on saw videos especially the surprise ones - little thing I do on tight tops & such - I keep diesel fuel in a spray bottle for anything like that top, put saw on side few sprays migrate to the corrosion then when it gives some don't try unscrew all the way- tighten back up a bit then loosen a bit then spray a bit then back 'b forth few time till she back off all the ways - Peace Friend your a Good Man see you on the other side one day!

[@bogg54]

Love these geardrives! If it's a flat back carb, I think they don't make kits 4them anymore. Way more "Wicked" torque when their carbs tuned nice(wicked heavy too...HA!)! Can't wait to see it in some wood! Big heart to the Buckin' Army and Family! 👍😎

[@darrellpickering8535]

Stihl used that same carb on their cut-off saws. Those saws were based on the old 08S.

[@fomocoloco7172]

It has become apparent to me over the past 11 minutes and 37 seconds of watching this video that lumberjacks are a different breed lol. Cut from a very different cloth as opposed to the rest of the populace 😂😂

[@birdhunter2754]

Son looks out. Smiles. Mmm. Dads siffing pine saw dust and working on a saw

[@kfoltz6968]

Hey buckin I’m a huge fan of your videos. I have a video idea for you. Could you possibly make a video about all the rope knots that you use when climbing? I am trying to learn as many as a I can.

[@89brianwaterman]

Nice drumming as usual and the bongos were awesome.

[@larryarnold1282]

Thanks for all the entertainment lol I have look through most all you video’s! I’m looking for information on gas fuel mixture for these old saws. What do you run in your old saws. I just pickup two old saws from Craig’s list for free. A gentleman was giving them away. Turns out he needed help loading bed mattress into uhaul truck to move back to Florida after heart surgery. GOD works in mysterious ways. Thank you for all you do!

[@jolkraeremeark6949]

Perhaps the gas can ritual has taken place in the past, friends, but this might be the first time it has been captured on video. An appropriate saw revival ceremony indeed!👍✌👍

[@davejohnson2937]

[@danarmstrong4261]

Dan, good one . . . . LOL

[@darrellpickering8535]

Those were either HS or HL carbs. I've got a D44 & another similar to that 840 but no ID on it. They both need wheels.

[@bryandant85]

We need an acoustic cut of WoodMan, with you playing the cans brother. That would be wicked!

[@jamesconnors9388]

Hello buckin and army. That's a beast of a saw. Love the content. Have a good night everyone

[@grouchygrizzly366]

Brother got himself a Homelite super xl, not sure on the year, it’s blue. (I’m ignorant on old saws) for free. Said he’s gonna go over with it and pass it over to me. First vintage saw haha

[@joycethomas8868]

Tillitson carb? West Bend engine ? I had an old Homelite with gear drive. Sounded just like your McCuloch. The West Bend engines had needle bearings on the crank.

[@alexmatthews2332]

I miss this channel, I've been working alot. Keep playing those gas can bongos Buckin!!

That's what is called a flat back. It's a McCulloch thing only. A guy named Joe Salva over on House of homelite was making kits for them. Might check in and see.
