Scrapping A Chainsaw - It's Like A Scrap Puzzle!

[@StevesMachines]

I am soooo tempted to record the sound you made when the pull start spring exploded and use it as my text message tone 🤣

[@thubprint]

DO IT

[@Eaglemadhatter]

Woooooo

[@ethanstroyan622]

I actually did search specifically for this video so thanks for putting it Out there!

[@thubprint]

Really? I guess someone was bound to eventually! 😂 I’m glad I did then, thanks for saying hi ✌️

[@ethanstroyan622]

@@thubprint yep I was just looking for more things that I could make more money taking apart and I knew they had some cast ally in them so was just seeing if it’s worth it

[@its_marc]

Quality, another time saver. Cheers Thub 👍

[@randystone6781]

Hey Thub. Really enjoy these tear down/comparison videos. Very informative and therapeutic.

[@thubprint]

Thanks! They may not go very far as far as views are concerned, but they’re fun to make 👍

Sintered Bronze (begin 6:47 ) - found out about this stuff when taking a garage door motor apart and found some nice sleeve bearings of brass I thought. Turned out they were brittle and found out about sintered bronze, sometimes used for heavy load bearings, and mufflers (looks like here). The bearings are porous for oil to flow through. Interesting stuff.

[@thubprint]

I was wondering about that! I think that’s the same stuff you find on aluminium doors, there’s two collars on the hinge pins.

[@raychrl]

@@thubprint interesting, I had a scrap pick up yesterday and got an aluminum door with hinges. I'll check for them.

"It's like a braasss... cluster of fish eggs or something..... hmph.." 🤣

[@386scrapper6]

Good video thx for the info

[@MrDrywaller1]

I love taking engines apart! Get you some snap ring pliers and look up ways to remove different types of snap rings. Keep up the good work brother.

[@Eaglemadhatter]

I love that scale

[@jackpotdigger834]

gorgeous scale

[@Elvisfan-bf3ic]

Interesting fact. The handles of screw drivers is made to use box end of wrench to remove stubborn screws.

[@ccaissie113]

I have 40 of them...thanks!

[@thubprint]

I don’t think I’d spend the time stripping it down unless it’s for fun 😅

[@mattgour5874]

Im searching for this 2023!

[@mattgour5874]

And now that im done watching, ive decided not to tear it apart.thx

[@isaiahwinter4617]

A lot of those fly wheels are cast with a few aluminum fins

[@karloslowry9043]

Stumped 😂😂

[@-ChrisD]

Very punny 😁

[@-ChrisD]

Scrap video 👍🏻

[@livvyweimar7362]

Congrats on 32k btw. 50k is right around the corner :)

[@vantagegamingleague]

Great video my dude! I've always wondered what was inside these things.

[@str8menace923]

Being a mechanic and watching you try to disassemble that is too funny.. laughing with you not at you

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

I hear ya! I spent 10 years as a chainsaw mechanic! This was hilarious! (In a comedic sort of way Thub!)

[@thubprint]

I’m glad it was at least entertaining! 😂 maybe now I’ll have a better shot at fixing the better one 👌

[@TheUltimateRecycler]

@@thubprint Very entertaining! I think you need to do a series on dissecting equipment you know nothing about! 👌🤣

[@auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

WTH you're 30k subs now man you're growing fast bro keep it up

[@thubprint]

I sure will!

[@bryanbernard5815]

Hahaha the scream you did

[@jerryjennyc5352]

Hey thub

[@calmclam7638]

8:27 Lol!

[@benjaminarmstrong7047]

Hey, watch out! If you remove that the spring will, oh, never mind...

[@markshaffer4385]

That is actually a small magnet around that aluminum shroud that is what gives the coil the power to spark the plug.

[@thubprint]

Aha!

[@markshaffer4385]

@@thubprint also found out if your rebuilding something a paper card I'd the exact spacing for the coil and the aluminum shroud for that magnetic to connect with

[@SM-SM-SM-SM]

Grace Too! 5:03

[@mr.zardoz3344]

Have you ever considered branching out a little and try restoration of some these treasures that you come across? You have a keen eye for well made machines and their worth. Just a thought. Have a righteous day!👍

[@thubprint]

It’s been on my mind 😉

[@adriennegonzales2636]

That scale is awesome! P.s. there's something funny about taking tools apart...with other tools lol "you're using a knife to make a knife!?"

[@thubprint]

I love this scale ☺️

[@glendagassett5925]

Hey Thub☺️

[@calmclam7638]

Awesome, glad you have a new video!

[@sydneyfizzy4559]

Time stamp for the ladies: 6:22 THEM ARMS THOOOOO

[@thubprint]

😂❤️

[@rinketerpstra9305]

hi, i would love to buy the pioneer from you!

[@thubprint]

I think I might actually try to fix it! Better than $1 in scrap

[@happycamper1111]

I specifically searched for this lol

[@Oranguice]

2:00 😂😂😂

[@ziggystardog]

Canadian chainsaw massacre...

[@thubprint]

😂 only one of them!

[@darrylt1031]

thanks for the comparison....definitely not worth breaking down.....cheers..

[@livvyweimar7362]

Mah dude, those are press fit lol. An exercise in frustration 😂

[@thubprint]

Ohh that’s where the pain in the butt comes in

[@MrDrywaller1]

I like to smash all the aluminum from around it and throw the crank and remnants in the dirty alum pile. Most of that aluminum is actually magnesium. Not that it matters to most yards.

[@ale.g.x.667]

I just searched for it lolo

[@noob_gaming1491]

1000th viewer ;)

[@thubprint]

That’s a special number! 😁

[@junkmonkey4596]

I think you just threw the copper coil in the steel bucket

[@islandgardener158]

There is a fella Buckin Billy Ray, has a KZbin channel, and he would weep watching you do this to a chainsaw

[@thubprint]

I’m glad I started with the junkier one, I’ve still got the better one to try and fix 👍

[@mehowshorts]

👍👍

[@Jethrosgarage]

You coulda gone on a Pioneer site on FB and got ten fifteen twenty bucks for that thing.

[@thubprint]

I don’t remember the brand of the one I broke down, but I still have the pioneer 😉

[@jerryjennyc5352]

My favorite chainsaws are husqvarnas

[@thubprint]

Classics!

[@welshreaperscrapandcasting4029]

For future reference to take the piston out you need to take the sprocket off on the opposite side to the bit you were bashing at around 11 mins in. Then it should just either slide out or with a bit of persuasion come out

[@welshreaperscrapandcasting4029]

It's also some of the parts will make you more money

[@thubprint]

Which part, the piston, the sprocket, or both?

[@welshreaperscrapandcasting4029]

@@thubprint take the sprocket off then then the bit you were hitting should just fall out as that bit you hit holds the piston in place. I've pulled god knows how many apart.

[@vinecat8451]

2:04 I actually had such an explosion in my face a few weeks ago, damn lucky I didn’t get a scratch or anything, otherwise I’d have to get a tetanus shot xD Although funfact: I was actually scrapping a vacuum, not a chainsaw :p

[@thubprint]

You had a vacuum blow up??? How!?! 🤣

[@vinecat8451]

If I knew it, I’d tell ya. I’m still baffled too😂

[@gaelanpatel9239]

Second

[@camdenjones7015]

Did I ask

[@VIILONEWOLF7]

Tearing apart vintage saw for scrap isn't worth it. Repairing and selling to collectors is.

[@jackpotdigger834]

aluminum is so low right now around here i try to deal less and less with it THANKS TRUMP good job with video

[@thubprint]

Isn’t that always the way..

[@davidgiasson2288]

you do realize u mangled it for a few bucks.. when you could have sold those parts on ebay for around 100.....right?

[@thubprint]

Yup! 😄
