First chainsaw I purchased was "Husqvarna 65" made in Germany... single ring on piston.... started my own firewood business in 1980....yet cut & sold firewood on the side before then.... weekends & nights & days when I had a chance, even holidays....cut 100's of cords, yrs. & yrs.& yrs.... even did tree work with it....it's what made me buy Husqvarna saws everytime I needed a saw....smaller ones & larger ones....they all have proven to be simular as the first one,  in late 70's or early 80's...shop full of them now at 72 yrs. old

You are the first American I have heard pronounce Husqvarna some what correct. Cheers from Sweden.

Chainsaws are kinda like sharks. They scare the hell out of me. That's why I love them.

My dad was a master feller, growing up he said never get on your knees! He was logger all of his life!

To make a homemade 77 we used to put a 380 top end on a 65... 😎

I have a 77 I bought in 1978 $450.00 it was a bow saw I changed it over to a bar. I cut fire wood in high school. I took the baffle out to make it loader . High school kids with glass packs LOL. Have lost the parts I would love to get it running.Brings  back some memories I cut my knee open with that saw when it was bow saw  . The government deemed them unsafe that's what I Was told that's why you can't buy the bows anymore . thanks for sharing .

77 Husky is a bad boy. I cut a lot of pulpwood and short logs with one back in the early eighties. My daddy bought hi first one in the late 70's.  I'm very happy for you I wish I could find a good 77.  I see a few 65's here and there but a 77 is a rare gem.

..I clicked on this video as soon as I saw the 77!..I had a 77 several years ago, got it from the scrap yard of all places..no bar or chain. Got it running with a carb kit and a fuel line, put a used 24" bar and chain on it I had, and man, it really ripped!..much more than I expected..just no anti-vibe, but that's O.K...I used it as a firewood saw for a couple years, then it developed a rattle..still ran good..then, one day it just stopped mid-cut..took the P&C off and discovered the big end rod bearing had let go..so into a box it went. Miraculously, the P&C were still o.k., just needed a new crank..over the years, I've picked up 2 or 3 more 77 carcasses with good compression..maybe this video will give me the motivation to finally get around to getting a running 77 put together again :)..BTW, the easiest way to spot a 77 from a 65 is the spark plug sticking out the top of the 77-it's hid under the cover on a 65...I've seen lots of 65's over the years, and have several non-running 65's..I've been told a 65 and 77 bottom end, including crank, are the same as a 77, so maybe you could just swap the complete bottom end/housing from from one of those 65's to fix the 77..one thing I have noticed, though, is all 77's I have encountered have electronic ignition, and most 65's seem to have points..I would check for that if you do the swap, although you could likely change out the ignition as well..I would use as late-model 65 as I could find as the donor saw..as a final note, I always wondered why so many more people opted to buy the 65 over the 77, given that you have much more power with basically the same size/weight saw..was it that everybody was too cheap to pony up the extra $ to step up to the 77?..seems like it would have been very worthwhile, to me...I wonder the same thing when I see all the old 61's around and so few 66's and 266's..again, same basic saw, with much more power....

That baby is growing way to fast!!! And smart too!!!

I bought one new in 79 and it was 80cc and in 80 I bought a new 44cc !
Great saws and reliable the 80 cc saw never missed a days work !!

The 44 cc missed several days over a starting issue !!

From the saw shop I used to go to , first thing I learned on any chainsaw and remover the flame arrestor like you did, with a good light look into the cylinder

..15:58..just saw all that pitting on the bottom of the saw..sooner or later, it will likely lead to an oil or fuel leak..that, with the break/damage you already noted, I would be on the lookout for a donor saw with a better bottom end..and have fun with it in the meantime!.. :)

I’m surprised you never cleaned the bar oil screen under the plug in the bottom of the oil tank.
I just bought a 77 that is in pretty good shape. $40.00 Canadian, it needed a bunch of cleaning, jug cooling veins were plugged full of mud and wood dust. Cylinder is in great condition along with the piston and rings. I think I’ll tear it down and change the crank seals👍🇨🇦

My dad bought a huge jonsered back in 88' never fixed once. Tons of raw power husta beast of a saw

It must take forever to film your videos!! It's so nice to see all the different angles you capture!! I love watching someone tackle something like this & make it work well - such an accomplishment!! Great job - always!! You placed that tree perfectly 🌟 God bless you and your family!! Ooops,  commented too quickly  - your son is so precious. Thanks for sharing 💞

I just can't get over how much you remind me of my dad.  He could fix anything.  He always said a new chain never cut worth a damn.  He always sharpen his by hand.  Most of the cutting we did was for fire wood.  He would cut some timber to make into lumber.  He didn't have a sawmill so it was a lot more difficult.  He would go to a mill that was close to us and purchase a ton of their drops for almost nothing.  It was amazing how he would make such fine lumber out of their scraps.  He did a lot of cabinet work on the side.  I know he made some really nice ones, costumed made for people who had older farm houses.  Generally things weren't square but when he finished a kitchen or bath, it looked better than any store bought cabinets.  I do love your videos.  At my age all I have are memories.  I think of all the hours I spent with my dad from little up.  We were great friends.  He was a great dad.  I tried to be a great dad to my kids.  My son tells me I was far better than his friends fathers were. I saw your son, never leave him out.  The things you do with him even little, he will carry with him the rest of his life.  Yes, I fell asleep many times in the truck.

Yep back in the day. That was the song that everybody wanted talking nearly 40 years ago

You should try a XP3120 - Now that is a beast!

This saw was rehabed without any proper Sawyer Language being used !!!!....How incredible.....I liked the 2100's also.

The 50's and 60's David Bradley chainsaws were monsters too !!

Your camera work is just as impressive as the saw.
