Rebuilding a Gear Drive David Bradley Chainsaw Pt1

[@baileybelville7877]

So glad I found your video I've been looking for some information and a carb kit for mine as well I have the exact same saw

[@MrStinkystink]

This was a joy to watch. I hope you are well and I look forward to seeing it back together and running - and YOU too!

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

I have actually had all the parts to re assemble but I am being picky about the paint and havent found the right cream-white color. Plus between 2 surgeries last year nd now the embolisms, yea finding time and energy for it is yaing to say the least. Still gotta do my regular job too ya know, LOL.

[@baileybelville7877]

@@DIYwithUncleCy where did you wind up finding your carb kit? And I'm sure it'll look great when its done hope to see more updates on the saw. And hope you get to feeling better

[@johnnymissfire8464]

Thats a great saw! I have a couple. My current runner is set up with dual 22" bars. The chain will only get oiled if you use the bar on the left side sprocket. Just stick the bucking spikes in and pull up on the rear handle as much as you want, the harder you pull the better it cuts and the chips get bigger lol.

[@whistlindixiesmallengine2085]

Air hammer and pry bar is my go to

[@Thetreefella]

Uncle Cy!!!!! Where ya been my entire life???? I wanna see this machine back together!!and all purdyed up!!! Is that in the near future sir???hope all's well in your neck of the woods 👍👊💚🌳💚

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

I do intend to get back and finish this guy but as it is not a pressing matter, it may be a while. Usually do stuff like that over the winter.

[@Thetreefella]

@@DIYwithUncleCy I just picked one of these saws up yesterday. can't wait to see the part 2!!!

[@stephenmose9499]

I have my Grandgather's David Bradley 360 saw from the 50's. All original except for sparkplug and carb kit. Still runs great. Gets run a few times a year just for f7n these days. Beast of an old saw!

[@teamstucker624]

That is a heavy duty looking Saw I have never seen anything like it.

[@asulondawn]

Big old saw for 77cc. Hope you get it running.

[@506curtis]

Very cool! Hope all goes well during your surgery.

[@terryw.milburn8565]

Can't wait to see & hear this Ole-Gal Fire & Run ! Prayers For Your Surgery, Cy ! ATB T God Bless

[@craigtimmons3468]

I'm suprised that you got all the bolts/screws out without breaking one or rounding out a slot. I like to use a pressure washer on the really greasy grimy stuff if I'm doing a complete tear down, works great and saves time doing clean up of reassembly. Great Video

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

To be honest, so was I. I was holding my breath on a couple of them. Pressure washer is a great Idea, probably use that on the other one, thanks for the tip.

[@dustydave9347]

Good luck with your surgery bro.

[@toolspayless]

Very interesting, hope you find the parts you need,

[@Ecthelion_2nd]

Just to be on the safe side, I would recommend a hollow ground flat head screwdriver.

[@kevinmeese2167]

hi cy... kevin here and i may have a line on the carb parts or at least the diaframes i was checking in my old catalogs from 2017 and they had the HL series in stock then they may still have them now... they carry most all carb kits call if you want the number and good luck with the surgery...

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

I already have it ordered. And I found a magneto set complete with points so by mid June this bad boy should be going.

[@buggin62vw]

I've got a few old gear drive David Beadley like that, it's 1/2 pitch chain. Hard to find. They are good running saws but very heavy. I have a 16inch bar on one, a 30inch on another and a 28inch bow bar on the last one.

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

Yep, after a little checking I did verify it is 1/2 inch pitch. I was just guessing in the video because it looked close to the Mal12A that I have.

[@stevetaylor9265]

I am curious on how fast the gear drive turns. I have two I was thinking Minnie bike motor

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

Well these old dudes are rated for Max RPM of 4000, and the gear reduction id 3.2 to 1. So 4000/3.2=1250 rpm at the sprocket. Not fast but the gear reduction will give ya hell-a torque I would think. Its 77cc so should pull a small go cart fairly easily.

[@stevetaylor9265]

Thanks. That carb is a tilason (not spelled right) if you can't find a kit through the normal channels look at the go kart sights. Think they still use them

[@adamschwartz6918]

lol I was searching for a david bradley interview, (walder frey actor), saw david bradley chainsaw and was like, what is this?

[@Kalico_Kid]

I have like 10 of these with parts my granddad was a David Bradley dealer

[@theopossum8587]

This is probably a long shot on here but I am searching for the 360 casing itself or a parts saw with a good casing. I have my great grandfather's DB 360 with the 22" bar but he also passed down a 6 foot, 2 man bar and chain with it. After sitting in a barn with chemicals and all manner of stuff for probably 40 years or more, some of the underside casing has been disintegrated including the bottom part of the gear housing itself.. the Carb is fine but the bottom plate and support are almost gone, the bottom of the main gear is exposed and the mount for the bottom of the foward handle is gone so the bolt is in the teeth of the main gear.. I am a craftsman so I can make a custom built housing and brackets to solidify it and protect the gear and carb from damage but I wonder what would be the cheapest yet sufficient fix.

Contact me with the email in the description. I may be able to help you.

[@theopossum8587]

@@DIYwithUncleCy I emailed you

[@kevinmeese2167]

btw that is a tillotson carb

[@robertkeithzamora574]

Will you sell for parts

[@vanderpoolfarmsl.l.c.9983]

I have one of these in brand new condition. WARNING: Ear muffs are not enough! This is THE LOUDEST machine you will ever operate. It's like POW,,,pu POW-POW, pu POW POW!!! Sounds like you are shooting a gun with your ear right along side the barrel. Wear ear plugs AND muffs. Also, compared to todays saws, it's a "Man Killer".

[@Travisphoenix334]

When’s part two coming out?

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

I do have the parts to get it fixed now. Unfortunately my schedule is no allowing me time to get to it. But it will happen. Maybe between Chemo sessions when I don't have the energy for other projects. LOL imagine me putting it back together bald and beardless, damn that's gonna suck.

[@Travisphoenix334]

Wow I had no idea! I wish you a speedy recovery! I’ll watch your videos beard or no beard, hair or no hair!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Would you have to tear down the saw each time you had to deal with the points? Hope all goes well Cy!

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

Just the starter and flywheel. This time I am cleaning everything and plan to repaint it too.

[@daigoldsack1254]

Part 2?

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

I will happen. Just gotta get time to do it. I do have the parts so hope to do it soon.

[@daigoldsack1254]

I hope so enjoy your videos especially the saw 1s thanks for the reply sir

[@michaelremski8295]

Best thing about shooting video while you take it apart: you can watch later when you go "where did this piece come from?" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmO6d3-Vrr6tr6c This guy looks like he's working on the same model.

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

Yup that is the same Model. Cool now I have a second video reference LOL.
