MALL 6ft long 1947 Chainsaw first start in 40 years 

Oh no not the neighbor dog 😂😂

I love grandpa. We need more grandpa vids. That jacket is priceless. Reminds me of my great grandpa. He had enough money to were he didn't need to but he wouldn't throw anything away. If he could fix it later or thought he would fix it later. It stayed around.

I ran one of those back when I was a teen cutting veneer logs the bar pivots for cut angle they are beasts to run

Damn John, that is one lethal looking piece of history. Nice work getting it running again and grandpa is the dude 😎👍🇺🇸

Back when everything wasn't disposable & built to last. Awesome job getting it going 👏 👍

Looks dangerous, fun, and exciting. Pretty cool piece of equipment there. Love the twin pipes!

Looks like a great alternative to the traditional finger removal methods while cutting firewood. I like it

Enjoy these moments with your grandfather, young man.

you gotta love the old timers they're far more knowledgeable than Google

Damn! An old Mal! I had a friend of mine who found one in his grandma's shed back in the day! we messed round and got it to fire! She came out and told us about all the men the thing had killed! So we promised her we would find another use for it! We took the engine and put it on an old go cart frame! It went far faster than you'd want to ride!

Those saws are awesome, my brother in law has 6 of em in his collection that he got from his granpa, huge logger family up in the mountains

What a beast of a machine. They don't make em like they used to. Awesome that you got it running.

Glad Grand Pa was able to help

My father had one a Remington Mall 5hp. He cut pulp wood for the paper Mills in the 50's

Congratulations 👏🎉🎉🎉 Officer John

The Chris Farley impression was spot on

2:20 - only Paul Bunyan could operate that bad boy with one arm 😄

I have an idea if you have the time in the future. You could fit the John Deere 440 with off road wheels instead of skis and race it at Cars and Cameras.

Mall saws were made in Canada. Had one with a 30 inch bar. It was a beast. The fuel ratio was insane!! 16 to 1 i believe.

I don't know what's worse the pull rope or the flywheel spinning right in front of your chest

Really cool badass saw. Reminds me of my parents old Toro lawnmower, thing was a beast to start. It had the rope you had to wind up by hand just like that.

That's the way to show off a piece of history

awesome that you got it running, great part of history and equipment for around the farm

I never thought I'd see a chainsaw with bike handlebars!

My neighbors dog does that always In my own yard and won't shut up because I'm in my yard she lives again nice runs pretty Smooth

You got that saw with a little help from your friends! BTW I think the chain and bar actually rotate so the carb stays upright.

That's awesome. I've never even seen one of those before. It looks like it weighs a ton.

Part of me was excited watching the chainsaw run . The rest of me was wincing like a child thinking what happened if that ancient chain decided to snap . Great vid man , looks cold there 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

I remember when those were on common use. My brothers and I used axes and a cross-cut saw as we were too small to pick one of those up. Interesting to see one again.

That thing is sick…. Love it , very unique

Glad this popped up in my feed, I love these old monsters. If you plan to cut with it use 30 weight engine oil (not 2 stroke oil) mixed with non ethanol gas. Ethanol will eat the coating on the cork float. 3/4 pint (12oz) per gallon. Thick as molasses. If it smokes, you know it's got enough oil. Dont expect it to rev high, it's a 200cc torque monster. It will either pull the chain throug the log, or pull you through. You can also kickstart it if you have the timing set just right. Search the tube to see. Also, if the oiler doesn't work have the helper pour oil on the chain. Gotta love 40's safety standards. I wish I could find someone willing to stand on the dummy end of mine. It's fun to fire it up and hear it run though.

awesome!

Down by tha river! Sounds awesome.

I was watching Kevins video with the Jeep and you walked in with that chainsaw 😮How can you not subscribe 😂

Lol. I just bought one like it. I haven’t had time to work on it yet. I’m glad you got yours started. The one I have you can pull a pin and rotate the bar too. Good luck.

Love that old saw . I'm in Davenport too

About your saw. Remove the 4 bolts holding bar and chain, turn bar sideways and now you're cutting trees down. It is set up now for cutting downed trees. I have a Mall a few years older like yours but with the sprocket bar which runs through a pipe which makes an almost circle like a giant brush bar. And instead of chain tightener on end mine has oil tank and oiler button.

always enjoyed the videos with you on JYD, deciced to hop over hear and god that saw is gnarly, i love it

The old big two stroke always throw fits in the winter but once they get some heat they run good. The old disston mercury twins are real fun, and heavy. be fun to get one to fit a go kart or three wheeler.

My dad hand an old McCulloch 2 man saw. Fun to work on and equally as scary to use. Both ends are equally fun and scary to use.

Another great video! Your grandpa is a cool dude!

That's Awesome!👍👍

That machine is a beast ! Cool video

Its Alive Whoot Whoot And A Burnout Smoke Show lmfao 🤣 oh wait thats rhe Exhaust on the chainsaw lmfao 🤣@10:28

Evening from uk guys and mook hiding with pup somewhere👋 awesome find the old stuff does better than new as if left some new stuff it would rust straight away and probs never run again good 1 over the moon with this 1👍👍

What a awesome saw sounds mean too love it

It's interesting how the chain tension is the responsibility of the second man, If he gets wacked in two I guess it's on him. Crazy

There may be a way to turn the bar 90* for telling trees. That way you would hold the saw the same way and cut horizontal. The way it is now works for vertical cuts. On there lower right side of the gear box it looks like there is a plunger like the one to adjust chain tension. It may pull out to let the gear box rotate. Back on the farm we had an old Homelite 721. This was a 7 hp engine that weighed 21 lbs. Without the bar and chain. It had a 36 in bar. It was a grunt to use, but for cutting blocks of a log it was hard to beat. Getting it picked up and set on the log was the hard part, once there the weight did all the work. I liked it for that. For felling trees one of the newer lighter saws was easier for that.

Dude that thing is bad ass glad to found this channel

Great work ! I hope you keep it coming. 😃

Yes it has no hours Onit that's probably because people were too afraid to use it although it is pretty cool great video thumbs up.

That saw is wicked cool!

Just simply amazing content, u need your own show!

That think is sick and that ole fella definitely knows how to sharpen a saw!

What a cool saw.

The old man at the end is my gpa to the T. Great video

Reminds me of "Keys to the City" with a chain. Toatally cool

Hells yes. My favorite youtuber posts a new video? Time to grab a Mello Yello and kick back for 20 minutes of shenanigans.

Dont wanna run the chain that tight. Gonna wear the bar extra fast.

Love your content,!💪Bring back the mullet 👌

Excellent video John :) also my one neighborhood neighbor had Chainsaw 2 person with 2 cylinders with 2 carbs Bombardier 400 Cubic Inches plus 2 exhaust plus had handles from Rottieler with throttle and emergency kill buttons! 2 cycle fuel run 89 or 91 octane gas mix and big 5 gallon fuel tank to steel one ! But cutting bar big for sure too and you had have muscles to run it also 2 different directions cutting bars run north to south or east to west ! Plus had big oil tank for bar oil hold too ! I tried out to and was wild but after 8 hours run need shower to wash up too and cream on body ache muscles Lol!

Nice!

My old boss had a bunch of these. Big saws that'll make a man out of ya!

That's a nice truck.

That's a cool looking chainsaw

I loved where you made the funny noises

That saw is cool yet terrifying all at the same time.

Gramps say's I'll hold the dangerous end, No problem. They don't make em like that anymore.

Bro, you're on your way to 25k subscribers!!!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!!!!

Nice saw

Dude that one cool lookin chainsaw

After being sent this photo by Kevin to help identify the saw, asked him about your channel and here I am!

Good job, John!

You can rotate the bar 1/4th turn too ! My grandpa had a few of them !

My dad had two saws just like that one. It has lever next too muffler turns blade too the side.cuts tree down.

Buddy has one like that. we have run it at several vintage saw events. one mean hunk of iron for sure lol don't even ask what chain costs for them :D Watch your oil mix the old saws need a fairly heavy mix. originally it was 3/4 of a pint of sae 30 to a gallon of gas

I'm pretty sure hand tool rescue did a rebuild on one of these about a year ago really good video. And congratulations on accidentally finding one of his top most wanted devices on his list

13:00 best chainsaw impression ive ever heard😂

Had one of those that was military surplus. Didn't know they made a model for public sale. The bar should be/is able to turn 45 degrees for felling trees. Guess it would beat using a hand saw to knock down palm trees.

Just recently came across Kevin's channel when they were working on the Jeep. Saw you carry that into the shop so I had to subscribe

Just saw you on juke yard dig channel had to come check out the big boy chainsaw

Have grandpa sharpen it and let's go cut a real big log in 1/2 that was made for a huge trees . Seen those in action when I was young.

Love your videos very good job

My cousin had a Mall like that. There should be a pin like the one on the second man end, pull it and the blade will rotate for side cutting. Doc

Well Gramps knows what to do and how to do it. The young bucks just want to jump in and start cutting and hippity hoppity hoo they're ready to jiminy cricket all about! LOL. Gramps is ready to sharpen the cutting teeth and oil it up then tell them how to use the thing but nope. LOL. Love the man! Great old machine too! I would think it would work best just like modern ones when you are supposed to rock the blade up and down as you're cutting similar to a see saw type action.

I have an actual use for one of those, we just bought an old sawmill that would match the craziness of that chainsaw.

Cool

Keep them cool videos coming

Love the editing style.

Was that an old Elvis move John did ?? Ha ha ha... OMG, hilarious. "Ohh Heyy..... !!!" "Thank you, thank you very much...."

John, you're doing great work. I'm glad you cut some wood with the saw. I really think you should have gone the rest of the way, Find out some information about it and then see how much it's worth. That's how you differentiate yourself from most of the other channels you mentioned. I'd like to see this channel become about flipping junk for profit, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Granpa is great, you'll want him in more videos, to look back on down the road.

there's actually a chainsaw Museum in Rangeley Maine with even bigger chainsaws ever get up this way check it out and also beautiful lakes trails cabins ect.

That saw is so cool. I have had a chainsaw in my hands since i was 14. I really want to start a collection of odd ball saws like that. Stihl is the best brand out there because they are an old company but still making quality machines to this day. So far i have a couple stihls but my dad has my favorite saw i have ever used, a stihl 066, a monster saw to hold but man it just digs. I have used large husky saws but theres just no comparison to the stihls. I kinda want to take like an old mopar 318 or 360 and make a v8 competition saw as a project. Hopefully one day i'll come across a bargain deal like that

I feel like those saws could make a pretty awesome gocart

I have seen Bigger Chain Saws But this Is still Cool 😎 @Golden Rust Or Bust

That's a pretty hefty chainsaw. Need to sharpen the blades for sure!

It’s about time! Just kidding man I’m just glad to see more videos from ya

Your hair looks way better dude, good job!!!

Gotta be the dullest chain I ever seen. It seemed you wanted to pull it back and forth a little like a hand saw. 😁

Best Chainsaw ever !!!
