I really like it when you tear it down completely and re-paint it. That's enjoyable

When Buckin" Billy Ray sees this, he's gonna want that saw. He loves them old McCuloch's!

my dad had one just like this and my brother and I learned how to use a chain saw with it, no automatic oil, no kick back system, no safety features, oh yeah loved this saw

I have been watching all of your restoration videos. They are all wonderful!

That's a good old saw. You learned the correct way to handle a chain saw. My dad had one and I ended up with it and cut many cords of firewood out sawed many of the newer saws.

Really love your videos. I have some junk laying around and this makes me want to pull it all out and fix it up. Truest a inspiration. Please don't stop making videos 👍

You were a hell of a man to run one of those all day. Gotta give it to the old timers. They were tough.

We need to get you a can of brake clean to clean off these old engines

wow, my late grandfather would have loved to see this one brought back to life.

When ever I watch this Channel, I think of the movie "The Brave little toaster" and how the tools are so relaxed and happy at the end.

The little chainsaw just wanted some well deserved attention. It's a beautiful little chainsaw. I know you will give it a good home.

Saw arrived yesterday kzfaq.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.

love your work trying to get in to it

Just an amazing video, I really love it! You're amazing and keep it going!

That saw was in amazing shape to start with! Normally they are pretty tattered at that age. Love the sound of those oldies!

I love Mac 15 saws. Glad you could save it.

I was gifted a Homelite chainsaw that almost the exact same model used for Ash's chainsaw arm in Evil Dead 2. It still works great, but I gotta say, theres a VERY good reason they invented vibration dampening handles. That thing will make your arms go numb almost instantly.

Good saw , runs, I have one like that.

Beautiful 😍 I wish I had your skills and tools

Just used a similar model 2 days ago cut beautiful and sounded mean loved every minute of it great saw

nice quick remedy.. these relics deserve to live again.. nothing wrong with that saw, that a quick clean up cant put right.. enjoy your vid's..

Years ago I had a Titan chainsaw. I'd guess it was from the 50's. It had a float so you couldn't turn it on it's side. It had a break that you released and you could turn the bar at whatever angle you needed it. While I was working overseas my Dad threw it away. He said it was taking up too much room in his garage. It worked fine after I cleaned it up though. A few years later I saw a 2 man Titan in a museum. I thought that was pretty cool.

For cleaning small parts and tight places I use old worn out toothbrushes especially the ones for babies they are very small and soft.

I once had a McCulloch chain saw. Never would cut right. Gave it back to my dad and got me a Husqvarna. Now I have 3 Husqvarnas. W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

Look at the amount of time needed to take off the bar and chain. Makes the Stihl saws I use look like magical super tools.

For 1962 saw it has a quite futuristic design

"They gave Marcel the bar!" - Jerry Clower

What a cool find!

Nice Saw. Damn, Now I'm going to have to get the ProMaC 610 and the Old David Bradleys back in shape. Lol.

Great video . I just picked up the same saw the other day . Going to restore and sell

A good restoration, and a good entertaining video. Merry Christmas 2017.

that thing is such a brute. love the videos, btw

cool projekt you got there

Saw one on eBay today. All the original decals and stickers are still there. Still has the ornament that clips around the bar too. $265 Canadian with $75 shipping. Contemplating on if I should fork it out after seeing this! Just wonder where I'll get bars or if I'll have to adapt husqy bars or something like that. Great resurrection!

You got lucky there, i repaired one for a guy a couple years back, it was an 80's Homelite 240 model. i had to completely disassemble it and clean out all of the varnish, flush carb, new fuel lines and plug. Then it was challenging to get the carb adjusted right for the ethanol blend fuels.

Excellent Job as Always.............

That's BADASS !!!!! I want one. 🤘🤘

I just got the exact chainsaw with a bigger bar today for $10. Just needs a carburetor cleaning but runs!

I love these old machines and really apreciate your work. These machines deserve to be cared about. Unlike shiny new machines, these old mechanical dinosaurs have soul. They can be rough, tricky, heavy and generaly unpleasent work companions but they lasted so many years and can and will last many more to come. When all nice modern electronic devices die off, these rough boys will still work hard. In 100 years they will still be able to work with just minium care and maintenance. Full respect for your work, keep it on and save as many as you can, they are worth the effort.

Very good job & video . 😎

Nice job !

seems it still needs a tune up as it's not cutting nearly as well as a 80cc saw should but it's amazing you got it working

grouse restoration work mate those are good old Chainsaws and very handy for the jobs today and some probably think they are very unsafe to use but yeah at least they are made to last which is a good factor.

ah chainsaw the great communicator...

That's got a bigger motor than my moped....

Job one - empty fuel tank and swill with fresh. Fuel line had shrunk (they all do) and will be letting in air, and the carb to manifold gasket was shot, also letting in air. Lovely little saw!

Wow and it cuts just like a grinder sharpened chain would too 👌

Legend has it.....a man killed a shit ton of demons on Mars with that chainsaw

Excellent clean up and demo! As usual your work is above reproach. (Safety....well that's another matter LOL.). What needs to be done with all of these old antique power tools that are so rare and unique is they need to be brought to a steam and antique machine Museum that does live exhibitions once or a few times a year. I know there are a few in the states and there are two or so in Canada. I used to go to one each and every year near where I grew up in Alberta. There's a place between two very small towns near a small City Named "Grande Prairie" In Northern Alberta. 27 Miles North West of it There is "Beaverlodge" then 19 Miles further there is "Hythe". (I'm showing my age now by remembering it all in "Miles" LOL). in between there is a small county or division (Whatever it's called lol) Named "Albrite" or "Albright" (I don't remember the spelling). It's there that once a year they hold a very cool and amazing live Museum showcase where they run steam tractors from the turn of the century and even before that doing what they were made to do. Cut shingles, cut and thresh grains and wheat pull things and show their mighty power and size!! It's exhilarating!! These showcase days are full on Family Affairs and they serve old fashioned iced cream made the old way and have animals 1800's buildings and very cool stuff all outdoors! As I said there are shows like that in the States too and I believe there is at least one or possibly two more in Canada. These Machines would be a Huge hit and would get to be used and tested to their limits as well as it would just be an absolute BLAST!! LOL. I don't know if "Mr Hand Tool Rescue" will ever read this but I hope he does and considers looking into this type of idea. He could video it all and make it into a great video showcase! IMHO. Thanks for the always AWESOME content!

Good job 👍

your a good mechanic

Salut!nice work!

You use WD-40 like you own stocks in it! Great videos, Subbed

Got mine up and running the dam carb kit was 40dollars runs sweet now gonna hang it up with the others

Just rebuilt carb on mine runs sweet and yes I have cut a lot of wood got to be a man to use a saw like that

You know that the chain is backwards in the sharpener -- right? Love your videos.

my god where on earth you found that chain saw man. my dad use to own it when i was like 5. one of the best chainsaw back in time. heavy as hell and cuts any size wood.

I laughed at them at first... But those magnetic bowels for holding all the stuff are awesome.

Miss watching this type of restoration video. Hope you find more machines to harvest Nutella from. The Nutella I find in my old machines must've gone bad because it doesn't taste right. Guess I'll have to keep trying. Cheers

Needs a new clutch it looks like

always love your videos. like. ALL of them. they're theraputic, relaxing, and informative all at once. I think you might want to switch to headphones, and if that's a fan, try and quiet it, in future videos, the background noises don't work, that, and high speed music sounds wierd, and detracts. probably not new pointers, but I like that people are offering you feedback, and I like even more that you REPLY! then too, when you show some text, keep in mind the speed factor, and don't hold the object because hand shaking also hold it steady for a bit longer, not a ton, but long enough to easily pause the video. or if it's a single word, easy enough to read. and most of all, KEEP doing these, I love them.

I like to see old stuff that still runs . But man , no way would I use something like that these days

I have a more recent "Mac" that I picked up with a bunch of other tools. Hopefully, I won't have to go through it like this. I do have to fix the chain brake handle, though. Dropped the saw when the box it was in came apart.

My brand new steel is working great too

I have a 1958 Mac D-30 (the kind with a center pull). Bad coil, condenser so no spark. I'm imagining the carb might not work but I need spark to prove it. Bolts are missing in various spots and it appears it has 6 pounds of pine chips plugging up everything (cylinder fins are plugged, chips are ridiculous). Waiting for a coil to arrive to see if we can fix that spark issue.

lovely !!

Nice :) The membrane (diaphragma ? Not my language, sorry) of my old saw's carburettors were all kinda hardened, thus giving all sorts of trouble. This one is still good?

Heh, no vibration damping handle, no chain brake... this is from an era when men were men, and our tools tended to weed out the dumb ones. Love your videos, Sir.

This saw has done very little work in its life.The logo is still on the bar ,if thats the original bar it came with.There is nearly no paint missing and the sticker is still on the pull start cover,visible at 2:20.A saw that had just done a few months solid work have more water on it

I got one just like this but with a 36" blade on it, I'm afraid to use it in case I break something it because I know McCulloch parts are harder to find than that missing bolt you dropped off the bench and it rolled under the table to never be seen again and the parts are worth their weight in gold.

You had the chain backwards in sharpener. Why would you do that ?

This was more of a clean-up & service, rather than a restoration. Nevertheless I still loved watching you work.

awesome but also scary no chain brake

I have one of these, any idea on parts. I need the pull start housing . Mines broke where the rope goes in and what carb is on that saw ?

Looked like it had no nuts during the test drive, was that the case? Love the old saws & enjoyed the video!

Don't forget to Get The Gullet!

I'm with Chris Licata on this one, if it's giving out like that, it probably needs a new clutch or you need to replace the clutch pads/padding

its looks so goofy like its from a cartoon

I love my mac 15. The recoil spring just broke on mine

nice video I love the look of a good vintage saw. I couldn't help but notice your grinding the cutters on the chain flat that isn't going to do you any favours

Did this chainsaw have a manual oiler or is it automatic? I noticed two caps on top of the fuel tank, is one of them for the bar chain oil? I had a really old saw once you had to keep depressing a oiler plunger to keep the chain lubed as you're cutting a log.

I had the exact same saw I couldn’t get it running the guy work wanted it to hang up in his garage and that’s where it sits today

So basically this is the two -man chainsaw smaller brother

I love watching videos like this as it gets me to sleep to peaceful please don't add any music of anything

these things weighed a ton...my dad had one..when i was a lil kid i could barely pick it up.

Bought one of these at a yard sale for $5

I remember these as a kid watching my dad get pissed off because mac's never wanted to start.

Сколько уже сидео просмотрел и думаю ,что этот стол деревянный ни за что не сгниет,столько на него масла машинного вылито, и прочих WD40.

Insanely loud motors back then.Like they forgot to put a muffler and had open exhaust port.

I have a '62 Homelite C-51 that I took apart and refurbished about 15 years ago. It runs good but I noticed that it stalled last year when I held it sideways to do some cutting (I don't use this saw very often). Isn't that a sign of bad seals?

Nice video, next up a chain brake ; )

I’m going to tackle grandpa’s 10-10 any advice from the best resto-family on the internet?

I have zero knowledge when it comes to chain saws, but that saw seemed kinda wimpy and kept slipping.. can someone tell me why? Was the chain to loose?

Bought this house and the old man had a Mac 15 & a Mac 140 both not running. Wish me luck

Am i the only one who watches these and notices that literally every old tool uses FLATHEAD SCREWS

Still waiting the complete restoration of this :c

We're going in reverse with the drill? It looked like it or were you going forward? It looked like the flywheel was going backwards? And what was the point of that just curious?? New to this. Cause it started as soon as you did that

Damn old tillotson Carb

i tell ya to clean saws i go to the family dollar and buy thr 5 pack of tooth brushes and they work amazing!! i swear buy them!!!

Me gustaría verte desdoblando el cigüeñal de la motosierra husvarna de mi padre.....que se dobló cortando leña.....el vídeo, precioso...
