Restoration of an Old Tired Stihl Chainsaw

Restoration of a large Stihl 051, this model was widely used in cutting down large trees, and still is. It's not easy to find them in good condition as well as parts these days. I was very happy to give new life to this machine that stands out for its power and robustness.

I gotta say, you didn't cherry pick this resto-. I was impressed with what that last dude could do with rivets and tape! 😮

[@garymucher4082]

That has got to be the most unique and amazing rebuilding/repair/refurbishing effort I've ever seen on anything. I hope it stays with you for many years to come. Things are only thrown away when you just don't want to put in the efforts to make them work again... Bravo sir, Bravo!

[@MrGamb]

Exactly friend! Thank you very much for the comment!

[@mr.joshuah1412]

The Stihl 051 is a beast of a saw and will wear out the strongest of men! Well done!!

[@royfrady8219]

I'm impressed for many reasons. First, that was one of the most well-used chainsaws I have ever seen and with the most improvised repairs I have ever seen. Then the masterful repair process was simply amazing. I truly expected the replacement of most of the external components, including the muffler. I was very impressed and will save this to review when working on my own Stihls. Very well done.

[@kaszas14.88]

Gratulálok tökéletes lett a felújítás.Nekem is van egy ilyen működő gépem használatban.

[@ENERGIJABURAN]

Здравствуйте. Я впервые вижу такую модель. Наверное тяжёлая. Из хлама сделать новый инструмент это мастерство. Приятно давать вторую жизнь вещам особенно инструменту. Вы молодец. Когда то и я так же собирал свой MS361 в моём случае это была груда грязных в мазуте запчастей из которых нужно было выбрать что то стоящее. Кое что пришлось докупить. Но так приятно было собирать уже чистые и новые детали, но больше радости было когда она завелась, пришлось регулировать карбюратор, он был расстроен. Но теперь эта бензопила приносит больше радости чем та которую купил бы.

[@user-br3mh4zq4h]

I don’t know what I’m more impressed with the rebuild or the fact he knew how to put 1000 pieces back together. I’d love to have this as a show piece. For sale?!?!

[@scottpollock1714]

Well actually for most products like this, especially contractor grade tools, plans and blueprints are available, often included with the tool, or even more likely - online.

[@arcticgunguy5382]

We only see a part of the video in an edited format. They have HOURS of video at their disposal to go back and review if they can't remember how it came apart in the first place.

[@lonniegrimes3665]

I am very impressed with this rebuild. I watch many people on KZbin fix broken items But this is by far the best I have ever seen. Wish I knew how to do work like this. Down below there is a man that stated he knew how to do this work since he was 14 years old. Thats great that his father taught him. . The guy below this one stated he was impressed that he knew how to put back 1000 pieces. To Me this was nothing for the man in this video. Just a cake walk. Great Job Brother.

[@TW200]

Absolutely incredible rebuild! I mess around with doing deep cleans on saws but nothing like this. Just awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@jkukurugya]

Man, you can tell how much that saw was loved. It reminds me of my Dad's old Farm Boss, taped up & rigged and still fires up & cuts like no ones business. This restoration was amazing, doesn't even look like the same saw. Great job

[@Andy_English_]

I was able to do this at 14 ,but that was 35 years ago on the German solo chainsaws ,my dad was my teacher ,this is wonderful to watch, a true craft

[@gregb76]

Mr. Gamb so nice to see when you fix the old chain saws you don't mind getting new parts like bars and chains it's refreshing to see. Great job it looks new. 1st crank two thumbs up and picked a nice piece of wood to cut instead of junk.

[@clintonlamar1503]

Any piece of equipment with that many repairs tells you at least two things. Someone loved it and it is one heck of well built machinery. Today's crap for the most part can't handle one tumble from the tailgate of a pickup truck.

[@anthonyelectric6045]

Absolutely enjoyed your expertise on this project. I rebuild old snowblowers and appreciate your approach 👍

[@iainhetherington4608]

I still (Stihl ) have a running 051AV ,you have inspired me to clean it up a bit Cheers from Aus

[@michaelmorgan9289]

Impressed by the DIY repairs made to this chainsaw. Reminded me of my Dad who would have done the same.

Right on man!! Thank you for using a new bar and chain!! I’ve watched a few saw revivals where they paint the poor old bar and throw the rusty chain back on,,, good work! Saw is ready for the next trip out to the woods!

[@MrGamb]

Thank you very much!

[@essexfarmer9610]

Nice brazing skills. Its almost a lost art and reminds me of my long departed foreman George Morris who used an old Stihl and could braze really well. That was an excellant restoration.

[@kentmarsh6442]

That's not brazing, he's soldering, nowhere near as strong as brazing

В этом весь и смысл восстановления без применения новых запчастей, а именно восстановить старое.

[@ThePalsanich]

Ну хорошо, восстановить старое... ну ведь можно было же и заварить. Благо TIG-сварка в наше время совсем не редкость: если сам не можешь - можно обратиться к специалистам...

I hope to one day restore my Stihl 025 saw. Just a couple months older than me and it was the last thing i got from my grandpa while i was in middle school before he died. Still runs great but would love to restore it someday

Used to have a 050 AV but it suffered same kind of condition ending to be under too many heavy trees, but it was pleasure to use as it cut like a butter with such a power! This was in 80's!

Great job. There are 3 near my house for cheap, 2 nice looking runners and one parts saw. I didn't buy them, as I have too many saws already. But, the old logging mountain towns, they still turn up, as they are a bit heavy compared to the newer saws. Yours was beat to begin with. Unless it was my saw to begin with, and I wanted it for nostalgia, I would have left it beat, as i thought it looked so cool that way! Anyway, great job, and I learned a lot!
