Very good to see you Harvey, excellent teacher you are. I had a Homelite 2000 in about 1970. Then I purchased an 056 and I was in love. It worked hard for me and was a real workhorse. I wish I had it back again and love to see you working on an old friend. Thanks for the memories. Sid from Petrolia, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
What welshwizard822 said. Great to see you back, Harvey. Now I look forward to watching your clip. I know that the 056 is a little different than my 051 and 075's but I really do find myself drawn to these old saws much like I was drawn to 55-57 Chevy's, Camaro's and Mustangs. Muscle saws and Muscle Cars. Let's go, Harv!!!
Great to see you back in your workshop Harv!! You are looking pretty good!! How you feel may be another story. Enjoy those afternoon snoozes, you worked hard your whole life, you deserve them. Work around the homestead is never finished anyways. Keep it sharp and tuned!!
Glad to see you back on here. Drove by the other day on my way to Canisteo. Hoping everyone is well and healthy. Oh I almost forgot......I put a twist on the iron horse pipe that causes direct flow after bounce back to the exit !!!! Scooping and direction built into your design that causes zero restrictions above the original design.
WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU A FEW DAYS AGO ,,,BUCKIN WAS RUNNING ONE OF YOUR SAWS ,,,HOPE YOUR DOIN WELL IRONHORSE ,,,AND THAT CULLEN AND BARB ARE WELL ALSO ,,BEST WISHES TAKE CARE MY FRIEND 😁😁👍👍
Prayers answered!! Glad you are getting better; I learn so much and enjoy listening to you speak about 2 stroke theory and fact, but more importantly, we all worry about you as the person we have come to know and love.
Keep the videos,stories and great info coming, please! Would a gasket delete and muffler mod be worth the effort on a Husky Rancher 460? Also, would attempting a DIY port job in the Tinman/Ironhorse school of thought be functional on the same Husky? I don't need a big saw but I love the sound and the idea of more torque. Thanks for your toughts and videos!
Thank you Harvey, i just picked up 4 of those saws 2 of them were the magnums. I tore the two magnums down and i was surprised to see they were 54 mm bores, thought they were going to be 56mm. You cleared it up for me when you said the super were the same as the magnums.
I know how to dig too. I got bearings for my old snowblower from a wheel chair parts supply company. Also, the bar studs, take the helicoids and studs out, clean everything really well so there is no oil residue in the holes, studs and helicoids. Coat everything with "PC7" two part epoxy and thread them back in, then wait two to three days for it to cure properly. PC7 is great stuff but that is the only area on a chainsaw where it will work. I've done this to two of my chainsaws and haven't had any problems. Just make sure you coat every surface, inside and out. You have plenty of work time too. You look good, glad to see you with more vim and vigor. Take care.
Good to see you back Harvey, what A great Sunday morning surprise, new content from you, and on the legendary 056, always one of the most good looking designs. Good to hear you're good !
Glad to see you back Harvey. Great information on this video. We definitely come from a different world of thinking than that of today. I’m 50, we find something that will work, and find a way to make it work.
Hey Harvey Merry Christmas I just wanted to let you know that everything still going good be well mind body I'm still cutting and I'm still doing the documentary on the business and the industry everything from sawmills and climbers to followers in urban arborists and builders all over the planet to make the industry a better the use of street cred and bartering we'll make it a little bit easier cash will always be on hand just picking up pieces from last year and putting everything back together for this new 2024 give the family a big hug from the Molina family to yours be well Merry Christmas
Hi! Just subscribed. I'm rebuilding a 056 right now. Cost me 75, missing small parts, replacing cylinder and piston, rebuild carb, new to me recoil. Never done it before and I screwed up not taking pictures. Could use a top cover if you know where one is lol. Good job on the video! Putting a 54mm jug on it instead of the 52, the old one is worn, not scored. Bearings seem good to me. Going to be interesting.
Good to see you back! Loosing weight is the best start into a healthier life. Fresh food and a bit of excercise helps too. We are often not too old, but too sick. Greetings from northern germany
Good to see ya Harvey. The 045 & 056 saws are some of my favorites. The first logs I bucked up years ago was with an 056 Mag II. The ignitions have been problematic for me. I have been searching for a good 056 mag 2 56mm cylinder for a while. Lookin forward to the 056 build.
Why not use a 17x42x14mm bearing? There's a place local to me where they specialize in just bearings. I have taken old bearings from a kawasaki ksv700 that weren't available anywhere else, and they matched them up for me.
the reason chains dont cut well out of the box is because the wheel the companies use to grind them break down, load up, and change profiles as the shift goes on. so the profile and depth of the wheel grinding may vary a few thousands. i know this, because im a professional grinderman. i work on these things all day. so the chains cutters will vary from the beginning of the shift to the end. if you use a pair of calipers and measure from cutting tip to but theres a lot of difference. once you grind them you will bring them closer to the same depth/length. once theyre all equal their perfomance improves dramatically
theres a huge improvement on equal cutters if chain companies use CBN grinding wheels comparied to vitrified grinding wheels. but CBN still breaks down and profiles/depths (dia. of wheel) change. the more the operator/grinderman stop and re-profile the wheel and setup the better the cutters will be but that also will slowdown production, which many companies wont be happy with. it just comes down to quality vs quantity
