You've NEVER Seen This Antique Saw - Will It Start?

In "POND SCUM", Taryl takes on this 1959 Clinton chainsaw that some fans from Michigan left outside his door awhile back. Will this thing run?? It's pretty old and pretty beat up. Some components you can't get anymore so he'll definitely need to get creative if he plans on getting this thing running again.
Back to POND SCUM... he lives in the waters of Podunk Lake and is an old legend around town. Taryl and Junior don't believe he's real until they come face to face with the creature in the flesh-or should we say, scum. See how it all plays out here in another scary, yet informative how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

[@wolfmanlol2626]

Tayrl, I have some Clinton parts in the original packaging from when I had my mower shop a long time ago. I have points, condenser, carb kits, etc. If you are interested I can dig thru my supply and work out how to send them to you. Love your channel. Brings back memories from when I made repairs almost 50 years ago. Let me know

[@kensmith6708]

Taryl I bought 2 chain saws back in 1996 from my local fee market,one was a Clinton saw much bigger than this one. The saw was freaking awesome I got so many comments about them when I was leaving the flee market.The Clinton had a 48 inch bar by 5 inches wide the brass fingers were 4 inches long like I said the saw was awesome. I got it running with minimal effort and it sounded like my Honda CR 250R dirt bike, it had a muffler but sounded like it didn't, like I said saw was awesome lol. The saw weighed 48 pounds a collector in my area said this saw was just set onto the log and it's weight did all the work. I really liked that saw I had no trees to cut but I had to have it I only paid $10.00 for it kept it for years, anyone who saw it in my shed was drawn to it for real. I gave it away 5 years ago to a local guy who collects saws, thanks for the great video it brought back good memories of the Clinton beast I once owned.

[@ahill7099]

The lil spark plug cover hit me in the heart...don't make ANYTHING like they used to....what a cool tool

[@edwardkawecki8101]

Bet most of us 55 and older mechanics remember countless times helping someone broken down because of no spark with point ignition. Getting out a pack of matches and cleaning the points with the sandpaper on the pack and gapping them with the matchbook cover. This video was a good reminder of it for me. Both cars and many HD motorcycles. Now solid state and cd ign. much more dependable but you're SO of luck if in the boonies without spare parts. Thankfully we have cell phones. Great video as always, Thank you.

[@bonzey1171]

Those two dudes in the background are creeping me out

[@rodneypackard8423]

Man that's awesome. I looked at that saw in my dad's shop and thought it would never run. I'm impressed.

[@goodvibes0101]

Shawn has the patience of a saint not even sitting but standing through all of what would have been a long production time 😁 thanks for the content

We used those CLINTONs and McCullochs on home built GoKarts 60 years ago. They would tune-up nicely !!

Not to frighten you or anything, but are you aware that there is a very large man behind you. He is extremely large and has a very slick head. Be careful

[@huskierider1]

Love those vintage chainsaws.

[@staind288]

Yeah, and he thinks he has a piece of shit or in his words 'a piece of fecal matter' 🤦‍♂️

[@albinklein7680]

I think that exhaust horn had some kind of baffle in it originally. Just a piece of metal with a 1/2 to 3/4 inch hole in it.

[@mcarroll598]

I’d love to just hangout while Taryl is fixing stuff. Lol

[@DizzzyKipper]

I love the sound of it. It brings back memories of when I was young when ever it would rain ever kid in the neighborhood would fire up their bikes to go play in the mud.

[@leonhart2452]

When I was on the farm we had an old Homelite 7-21. This saw had the gear reduction drive and a 1/2" chain on a 36" bar. It was hard to start and keep running but when it ran it was a monster. Cutting logs at the bars max length didn't bog the saw down at all. When running full speed the chain didn't move very fast, you could almost count the teeth as they went by. Being such a heavy saw and a bit cantankerous we didn't use it much in the woods but when we skidded logs back to the house we used it for blocking of the logs for firewood. Once you had the saw up on the log you didn't need to rock the saw or help it much to cut. Just hold it enough so it cut straight.

[@lovetolearn5253]

Wow is that podunk lake where you filmed the 6 wheeler? If so that lake dried up quick.

[@brianjones7132]

I always use channel locks to rotate a precision ground shaft. It never damages the plyers like they say it will.....

Nice work Mr. Dactal as always never fails to fire it up.. fire it up.....fire it up.

Glad to see you bring it back to life. Sorry I didn't get to see you when I dropped it off. We were on the way to Florida and didn't have a lot of time. Hope you can make a buck with it!!

I love vintage chainsaws and collect them, I have quite a little collection of old saws going, great video Taryl!

[@oldbowsaw9001]

I collect and run the old saws-fun hobby-great video!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jtpaulann5389]

This is great, my grandfather had a saw like this one. My dad inherited it to use at the cabin but it was way too heavy to be used all day. So he got a Sears chainsaw back in 1970. It was one of those all aluminum yellow bodied saws.. He ran that saw till it wore out, he loved that Sears chainsaw

[@stevecrawley5450]

What is up with the background zombies?

[@keg9850]

Loved the sparks flying out of the exhaust pipe when Taryl gets it full throttle in the air. Things a beast! Taryl, You need to throw in the womans voice calling you a Hillbilly like in the Stihl chainsaw video.

[@barrypettit3668]

Another awesome video and i don't even have a saw. Laughed so hard i almost pissed myself. Keep them coming Taryl, i always learn something.

[@jonmyers8046]

I love those old beastly chainsaws. Not a turd to me. Get them running good and sharpen the chain, and they'll go through anything. Good for when you got some big stuff to cut through. Wouldn't want to lug it around in the woods too much though. Great video Taryl. 👍👍

[@quaileggsvermont]

OMG you took the coating off on a new set of points! The world is coming to an end!!!!!! LMAO! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻

My Dad had a Montgomery Wards Chain saw and blades. That thing was a honker! If it's a Clinton; is the bar straight? hahaha Taryl laugh

Good one T! Loved seeing the old Clinton brought back to life!

[@leonascherer1617]

[@cameroncassel994]

Great video. Most Clinton machines used tecumseh engines, I owned a few Clinton boat motors and upon researching parts found out tecumseh was the main power head of much of the equipment.

Now thats a chainsaw! Well done Taryl I enjoyed it

Taryl, you do an amazing job on them old chainsaws and stuff. I notice you got a wild look in yore eye when you go to pulling on the starting rope. Is that because you are not confident that it will start? Yore a brave man! I could never start a motor with the camera rolling that way. It's a lot of pressure and I'd always be afraid I would fail. You are the man!

Its amazing what young teenagers knew about motors and cars back in the 60s and 70s. I bought a late 60s ford truck and it would not start. So we took a piece of striker paper from a book of matches and cleaned the points, put the distributer cap back on and she started right up. The battery was dead and we had no jumper cables. So we pulled our car in front of the truck bumber to bumper, and used the jack stand to go from positive battery post from car to positive battery post to truck , making our caveman jumper cables. Needless to say it worked perfect. That was the good ole days for sure. On a side note buying a new set of tires, a new battery, or filling up your gas tank was something you didn't even think about. Stuff like that was so cheap then. $5.00 would fill a volkswagen to the top.

[@michaelreynolds1892]

Taryl, I have a 1957 Homelite 6-22 saw, its about the same as your Clinton, the 6-22 means 6 hp 22 lbs and it has a 1/2 chain also, 1/2 chains are sought after by antique saw guys.

Got in from a day out on Sunday and started doing office work to prep for next week. Took a break to look at youtube at 11:30pm and realized I had forgotten Taryl. Shame on me... Thanks for another greta episode! P.S. - I have felt that "raised edge point" on extremely worn points. That exhaust sound reminds of the McCullough MAC 10. Great saw, but absolutely deafening. Nor real muffler, just a sort of exhaust diverter.

[@winfieldholbrook5167]

Great content as usual but I’m wondering if it will be another wasp fiasco 😂 You might get a condo in Florida for the Clinton. Anyway I have been wanting to see your shop for years now and look over your scrap yard. I’m a gravely guy and always looking for parts or fixer uppers. I’m 4 hrs east of Louisville ky. I see that you go to the expo center. How far are you over in Indiana? Thank you for all the informative video and ideals that you pass along to us all.
