The History Of Chainsaws by Kain Kustom Garage 

That guy with the tile saw is probably thinking the same thing about you Dan; “that guy with the chainsaws”. But that’s ok, we all have what we love and what we despise. The trick is to like what we love and hold it dear while keeping what we despise distant from us but not so distant that we can’t learn. Albeit learn how to love and use or learn to dislike even MORE. That’s just human nature.

So awesome! Thank you for showing the evolution of these wonderful time savers.

Lol...Chainsaw Hoarder! I just thinned my herd of guitars and amps. Fender, Gibson, Marshall guitars, and amps. 52 guitars and 58 amps. Collected and played since 1979. Have a great Easter Sunday. He is Risen! Blessings, my friend!

Love my 50 year old Partner. Fast cutter easy starter. So advanced chainsaws haven't changed much since.

Great video Dan and thanks to show us your treasures.. Want to add 2 things: The S10 was only made from 67 to 73. The 08 was made for long time however. Your 051 is a pretty early one judging from the style of the air filter cover and the muffler guard. I'd date it not later than 1975. In a am earlier comment I explained how to check it. Best wishes and great to see your in better mood.. Marco

Great video, you got some really cool old saws.. Great hoard!! 👌👍👍

Great video absolutely enjoyed it bud... thank you. You have an amazing collection of vintage saws some that brought back old memories. I was raised around chainsaws as my family did a lot of felling. My folks used the saws to cut pulpwood when money got tight... we could make a few dollars. I started using saws at the early age of 10 bucking and at 12 I was using them on my own felling the smaller trees. When my friends were playing with Tonka trucks, I was running saws lol. I’m glad I got to see some of the saws of the 50's and 60’s in use, but I was too young to handle most of those. We ran mostly McCulloch saws with bow bars that could be very dangerous (kickback) unless you knew how to use them. It's something that gets in your blood, and you can’t shake it. Now at 65 I still enjoy running saws, felling trees, and milling lumber with them. I don’t have any vintage saws, but I do own 5 that I use regularly from 42cc to 92cc. Again... great video thank you for taking the time to put this out.

Thanks for the great videos Dan. Keep em coming. Awesome!!!

Hey their. I’m into collecting 2 man chainsaws . Also started a RU-vid channel. Can I get a close up picture on that 211 helper handle .that’s definitely different. Thanks

I got new jems 105cc gas chain saw with 36 inch bar i could sell you

Volume: Up! Music to my ears

He’s got a so cal shirt on if so won’t be long he’ll be moving to East Tennessee like everyone else. Then he can also have a nice gun collection. I have a antique shop today was Black Friday 60% or more of my customers today were California refugees!

Awesome video Dan! Learned some new stuff about chainsaw history.

I know a guy who had a Homlite with a float carb it was still in use in the mid 70'

" In this edition of I got lots of money and lots of time"

Titan ,, thx for yer time

I’m just now getting into chainsaws, just bought a MS311, but I didn’t realize how cool chainsaws are

Wow What a Lot of Cool Vintage Chainsaws Dan 😮😮😮😮😲😀❤️😀❤️😀👍🏼 Love Them All Happy Easter 😀😊👍🏼😇👍🏼

Enjoyed the video. On a personal note I scored a few more chainsaws to add to my hoard at a Auction Saturday. Two are model 61 Poulan's I even got one to run a bit on a prime. We have video on our channel.

How insane is it that a new 50cc saw will all day eat an old old 100cc saw lol even my old mid 60s 54cc pioneer 1110 won't touch my lil 42cc crapsman with nothing but a muffler mod 😂 great video! Take care of yourself and have a good one

i have a husqy 51 and a homelit 3850b and a polan 5020

I think it's amazing the 50s aesthetic was SO strong even in chainsaws of the era! Awesome looking saws.

An excellent book about chainsaw history is "Chainsaws, a History", by David Lee. Lots of information, lots of great photos, the majority of which come from one collection near Seattle. Fun fact, the longest commercially-available bar was 21 FEET LONG.

We have a Partner R522 from 1974 that im working on for fun We have also two Husqvarnas and one Jonsered

Wow!! Fkn awesome do you have a museum for chainsaws? Your collection is amazing

I have a Homelite C-5 and Stihl 460 Arctics, etc, that I just love the heck outta. Also got an 090av

DON'T YOU DARE DISPARAGE MY CRAPSMAN HOMO(wner) SAW!!!!!! I LOVE THAT LITTLE TOY!!!!! JK, you were working on a little 009 Stihl in a video and I used it for reference to fix a couple 011s. I have a little craftsman saw that is either a McCullough or Poulan that someone gave me and it's a nice little one hand brush saw. Then I have a homelite xl98 demo saw on deck, and an Eager Beaver that I'll get running just for the challenge. Your videos are not only informative but interesting so please pump them out. Some diagnostic videos would be really helpful if you find the time to make one, maybe go over common problems and how to find/fix them, maybe even some more advanced tricks like spraying heavily soaped water around the crank seals on a boggy saw to see if it has blowby or is sucking air, leaving a (lean?) condition

Nice job on the video, and good to see you posting again. Ever hear from Andrew in Canada anymore?

Ohh The hypocrisy 😂 that guy with his tile saw , 😁 thanks for sharing your collection.just not complete with out that famous mask tho .😂

I used my grate uncle home owner homelight 40 cc 16 inch bar year 1882 age 13 the only thing was the lack of exust made me def but we cut big tractor trailer loads of trees with that small 40cc then in year 1984 age 15 my uncle bought a new Johnson sp 49 I has too pull start it for my age 73 old grate uncle

NICE Collection, I have a bunch over here on Whidbey too. A lot of history still sitting around in peoples garages

I love my husqvarna 2100cd what a beast of a saw. If you let it idle on the ground itll walk away on you haha

"This is an old HOMEOWNER'S saw": picks up outboard motor sized saw that looks like it should come with tires and a trailer hitch.

Great to see ya again! I’ve heard keeping them old magnesium bodied saws on concrete will degrade the metal. What’s your experience with that?

If anyone ever breaks into your garage and steals all your saws ! I swear, I will have a alibi... 😂

Great video us Saskatchewan boys like this stuff

Me and my brother was in the country at my aunt and uncles old house and came across my uncle's old chainsaws sitting outside in a old shed my cousin gave them to us and one is a Mac 10 10 automatic and the other is a pioneer farm saw 11 Both chain rusted to the bar and the Mac 10 10 automatic has a bow blade 13_18286 serial number and 600002U model is the numbers on the tag between the carburetor and the handle how can I find the yesr it was manufactured do has points ignition hot the pioneer chainsaw running but the Mac 10 10 no spark plug wire bed and coil has a lot of cracks on it . Thanks I enjoyed your video

Thanks for the video. What type of fuel are you running in those bad boys?

Sounding good ,and the smell of 2 stroke motor in the morning running on mix. Enjoy you on this Easter Sunday !

I already had an obsession with early small engine stuff from the 50s-70s and this video has made it worse lol. The PM310 i have has already been described as far too dangerous by people around me so i dread what they would think of something from the mid 50s

Very cook 🤩🥇🥇🥇. Thank you for sharing 🤩🤩🥇

Hey Dan. You're looking great and seem to be doing well. I notice you have an anchor tattoo on your ring finger, I do also. Anyways, I am in need of a recoil assembly for a Kioritz 315. If you have one to spare, let me know, and maybe we can work out something.

We had a Mall saw at the ranch when I was a boy. Gear driven, I think, with the necessity of turning the bar when felling. It was okay for bucking big log butts, that sort of thing, but a real mankiller. It was the first chainsaw I ever ran.

Nice collection Dan. Good to see you making vids again. God bless brother!

Want a 1982 pioneer farmsaw 66cc ?

Buenas Ese garaje es el Paraiso Mi vicio,,,, son las motosierras Saludos desde Norte de España

First time viewer and now a subscriber...!

Brilliant video! Thanks for making this

That two man saw is sweet 👍👍

Chainsaws are a great tool

nice saws ,super sweet layout, nice job

😎 👀

cooler than cool thank you 10 stars

How much your collection worth?

I’ve always been led to believe Pioneer is (was) for the Canadian market? My family never used anything except homies an McCullough back when in central Washington state.

That titan is cool its left handed

Kain’s Garage gone wild!

Awesome video!

Thanks Dan, good tour. I hope one day you get up to Grand Forks BC and check out Son Ranch’s private Logging Museum. It’s a great family operation with tons of saws and related stuff. Great family too! Take care. 😎👍

Love it Mr kain! ❤

Những máy cưa tuyệt vời

Cool video !

nice colection,,👍

My favorite brand of chainsaws, ECHO,KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MAN

You definitely have a great collection Dan....awesome video brother 👍🤙....

Wonderful collection, my brother! Blessings 🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓

Awesome video! You got some sweet old saws. Crazy to think you news saw is older then my oldest saw 😂😂 my oldest saw is a stihl 044. I think that's a early 90s saw. My newest saw is a 562xp. But my favorite is my 372xp that I built and ported myself. That's my go to saw.

The oldest in my small collection is the 1959 Homelite Zip that was jointly purchased by my Father and Grandfather

That was an awesome history lesson. What a beautiful collection. I have 12 saws. Most are modern professional saws but ive just acquired 3 vintage saws from the 60s, 70s, and 80s... 2 HomeLites and a Stihl. I can see how it becomes addictive. I have 55 guitars. Im "hoping" chainsaws dont get as carried away for me :) thanks for sharing

Bagus 😮😮😮

nice well done

Cool video... it is neat seeing these old saws. Used a few of them in anger back in day... only really have a little Husqvarna 51 similar to yours left any more. Thanks for posting....

Amazing collection Dan! Thank you for sharing your treasures with us. You are looking good my friend 🙏🏿🇺🇸🪓

I love my homelike and Clinton saws there absolutely indestructible

Durning WWII my dad was a teen- a local boat building factory(Larson Boats, Little Falls, Minnesota) turned in to a crate builder for the government- his friends dad had a 1 1/2 ton '35 Chevrolet truck, flatbed- they delivered and set tombstones, and also did logging- they had a chain saw but it could only be used for bucking- they'd cut down trees with a two man saw and axes, load the flat bed with cant hooks- there were three of them (all teen agers) but only room for two in the cab, one guy had to ride the load of logs and it was cold, and rough!

I really like the look of that Titan saw. It's weird to imagine guys were running those monsters when I was born. The only vintage saw I have us a Jonsereds 49SP which I need to get running. My other saw is a 1998 Husqvarna 261.

Dan, I have a strunk 3-19 that i restored about a year ago and am trying again to make it run. Wondering about carb adjustments. It ran before and think the carb adjustment is just out of wack. Rebuilt and new carb kit. Wonder if you could help on top screw adjustment and main jet or the process you use.Thank you for the great videos and knowledge you share. Dave H.

Cool video. Love this kind of history about saws. McCulloch was a pioneer in chainsaws. The story of that company and Havasu is really interesting. Was great to meet ya at Tazapalooza. Love your saw collection!

Hi there Dan! Really enjoyed this video! First time here dropping by your channel and subscribed right away! Great discussion through the time line of saws, really well done an nice to see them all right there as well! I’ll definitely be having a watch at some of your previous videos! Thanks again Dan and nice meeting you 🤝. Take care! Andrew from NB, Canada :)

cool video. I have a '75 homelite super 2, a husky 55 rancher and a 372xp. they all get used. I make sure I rotate the super 2 in the mix as its a fantastic little saw for around the yard.

Love them old saws. If run into old 900 series homelite I like to find one. Think from last 50 to early 60. Nice collection look forward to seeing more videos

The tile guys are probably saying there's that chainsaw guy again, lol Nice collection 👌

Before man invented the steel axe and the hand saw , I'm pretty sure the used some kind of dinobeaver powered saw. Can't remember for sure, it's been years since I watched The Flintstones.

Great video, they would have worked hard back in the day. Your Titan is awesome, sounds like an old motocrosser.

When I see those Poulan saws I can't stop think of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Great job buddy! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

Absolute amazing collection of some great saws thanks for showing

Very interesting video, well put together well presented. Please let us have more. All the best Dan. Regards Dorin.

Even the worst chainsaw was like a gift from heaven back in the old days

Great video Dan. I have saws from the 60s to 2000s.

You put a smile on my face thank you. Beautiful collection

Can't believe how good and smooth that 2 man saw ran! Great vid

A 95 year old neighbor had a Mall gear driven saw and he told me that if he hung the chain up in the cut the rivets would pull out of the chain. Lots of torque. He had to give up logging from the vibration that caused arm and hand issues. I guess Emil Lerp invented the gasoline powered saw and named it Dolmar. I understand the first direct drive saw was the Solo Rex in the 1950‘s? Great video! Love the sounds, even the tile saw!👍

🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻love it man !

Great vid, Dan!

Good Stuff Dan!

👍👍👍
