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.

I have a L65 myself purchased new some 40 years ago, still runs like new, very powerful saw. Replaced fuel line, bar, pull rope, etc. Occasionally check the spark arrestor screen in the muffler muffler, and the bottom of the saw, the screen for the chain oiler. Great saw.

Nice one Wes! That looks like a good old Husky! As an amateur occasional user of Chainsaws (I've got 6, Gasoline & electric!) I find the usual thing that gives trouble first is the Oil feed system to the bar. Be great if you could do a video on fixing issues with that. Stay safe & well! 👍👍

That a great video , thank you ! Great saw . I love the close ups , coupled with minimal commentary . Very professional and very watchable . Liked & subscribed 👍

Nicely done! I loved the aerial shot when the tree fell too! I use my old 038 MAG II. It works well with a 24 " bar and chain. No Compression release like the new ones either. hard to start if it's below 20 degrees.

Besides being into saws- you are a great videographer! Nice shots, great editing, interesting composition of shots and content. I think your video was great as much for your technical skills with the camera and editing software as for your vision of composition and content. Thanks for posting.

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

I like this video. Well done sir. Saw sounds great for being 40 years old. Now I'm inspired to dig out a couple of the old timers, like yours, I'm my collection, and disassemble them and perk up the ports a bit with the grinders, and make them snort again!

I heated my house with hardwood for 10yrs, back in Indiana 75-85, cut and split by hand, had an Echo VL-452, hell of a saw, never failed! tks and best 2u

Awesome vintage saw that you are putting to use. Thanks for sharing.

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

Great video! I have owned and run Stihl saws for over forty years, but on a whim about 2 years ago I bought a Husqvarna 565 with 20" bar. Because I liked it so much I now own several Husky's and love them. They just plain rip! I might have to look for a vintage Husky after watching this. I also have a Wood-mizer sawmill, LT40 super with 42hp Kubota diesel.

I bought a new Husky l 77 in about 1975. They were a good saw. After a few months I traded it for a new Husky 1100. That 1100 was a wildcat. The best balanced and powerful saw I ever ran.

I have a beautiful full restored L65. Love that saw to death. Spent about 2 years looking for one, finally found it on a Northern California facebook group. hangs proudly in my garage

Good video - Great son. I love to watch the interaction please keep including him and your lovely wife. I've watched all your videos and am almost current. Your testimonies to our Great God and Savior are refreshing and encouraging - keep it up! Jim

Beautiful piece of history,,,,, don't mind saying,,a bit envious Thank you for showing 🤘

Gotta admit that I’m not a big husky fan, but I absolutely love the sound of that saw. Looks like it might not be the fastest, but sometimes it’s not always about speed. Nice saw man

Listen to the idle notes :^) I like the chainsaw holster on your tractor. 12:49 Lovely job

those 77s were some good saws. dad cut pulpwood and sawlogs with the 77s in the 70s and early 80s sometime they did put chain breaks on them --i would guess around 79-80 . i can recall running those some those myself . they were reliable, had gobs of torque. seems like most of them had the 24" bar and would pull it with ease even through tough hard-wood. they slowly replaces the stihl 041 supers on the logging job IIRC.

Nice video. I` m happy with my old still 38 magnum. With a sharp chain, it won't slow down. Cuts through a hickory log like it was lunchmeat.

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing

Fantastic video! Thanks for the great content.

Your son is a real trip, these are the times you'll never forget, and I'm sure he enjoys "helping" you out.

excellent camerawork and editing. You're the Orson Welles of chainsaw videos

Wish I kept all the old Huskies that I used when I worked at the sawmill. The new ones are nice by the old ones were like holding a dirt bike. A lot of power.

Sounds and cuts really good!!! What a great find congrats to ya...

Been keeping my eye out for a 77. Have a 65 project that's close, really want a 77 too

Looks like a beast. Glad you could pick it up.

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

I can relate to your love of old saws. I’m an old McCulloch fan. When you started pulling out all the old saws you have I just laughed. I’ve got more than I care to admit from the 60’s and 70’s. It’s an addicting hobby lol

Totally cool brother!! Love to see an old saw still getting it!

Nice find! That chain is definitely working for that big boy.

..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....

..I think around 1985 or so was the last the 65 and 77 was built..and you will love the 24" bar on that 77..it will pull it with no problem, and a 24" balances out real nice on those saws.. :)

Love it sounds cacklly and rumbly you have fun now. As always good luck and God Bless.

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 .

Best video yet. Thank you.

1st time seeing your videos and looking forward to the shed addition., will it be post and beam

*The Husky 77 is from 1974 and it's 77cc's, nice find on that one. Max RPM is only 8000 however those saws have alot of torque.*

Looks good.and sounds great

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

God bless you. I enjoy the videos !!

After my dad logged with a Husky 77 and I still have it after he passed away , Im sure we found a bill of sale in 1971 ,But i will have to recheck that after hearing your comments. Anyway the flywheel blew apart on me while I was using it , Does anyone know where I might be able to find one ? thank you

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.

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

I had both a Husqvarna 77 and a Sthil 056 Mag 2 . I put a lot of timber on the ground with both those saws. Other than that Mcculloch super pro 125 these were my all time favorite chainsaws .

Thumbs up for including the little guy! Good father.

I’m glad you happy with it! At the end of the day that matters most!

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

You have me looking for a 77 now!!

Nice Chainsaw. Greetings from Germany Peter

I love my husqvarna saws.. by the way I got my mill up and running again..👍 From Cadillac Michigan

Man that runs good!

Sometimes I think you are from 1950s Oregon logging family. You cut the mouth, started and checked the hinge, corrected, wedged, and finished it over. Unlike the deep woods, you trimmed the stump flush like proper in a small family wood lot so it wont be a trip hazard or foul a small skidder tractor. Great job!!!!

You have great talent and skills. You amaze me.

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

Why did you fell the live tree instead of the dead standing? I could be mistaken, but the areal view appeared to show some DS, and for safety reasons I would have removed them. Cool saw.

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

Could you make a video going over your chainsaw chain sharpener?

Could you please tell me where you got parts for this saw. I have one and never have been able to find any

Good job. You do have some skills.

If you know about oiler on the 77 I need it to pump more bar oil .

Biggest saw I ran was a 066 Stihl. It was a daily user in our erosion control business.Wood bulkhead/Seawall. 96 cc on that saw

I had a L65 for years they were great saws almost indestructible, outside of a set of rings l never did anything but routine mantince and it ran as strong the day l sold it as the day l bought it.

I’m sure you know what to look for in the cylinder ( ever been run without oil?). Next inspect the piston and ring or rings , using a small screwdriver press on each piston ring which should push back at you!! If all check out , compression test cold then hot is next!! Good find you did well!!

That is one badass saw!

I had a 77 a long time ago, it had horse power plenty! Wish I still had it!!

Where did you get the chainsaw mount for the tractor? Very handy!

A saw holster for your tractor? That has to be the best thing I've ever seen!

Looks like a great saw.

in old yougoslavia you had the same saw but it was called tomos 770. It was made by licence of husqvarna L77. I recently got one and it is a beast. Just need new dog for it but was thinking of putting 2 dogs because why not. But the issue is that I have to make them myself as you can't buy them basically

Nice saw Thanks for the videos brother Have a great day And God bless Just saying

That saws a beast!

Those chips were nice even before sharpening. Husqvarna makes a really good saw. I bought one used (almost new) from an older man that just couldn't handle the saw's weight. It chews through logs like nothing I ever had. Now I am of the age that the weight is difficult for me. Oh well....

Did not expect that to start

I bought my first Husqvarna l65 back in 77, landed a big tree on it in 79 then bought another one, had that one until 85 then traded up for another number Husqvarna. Now I have 2019 550xp, pound for pound it will out cut my old l65 with half the weight and I sure do prefer the modern chain brake..... I thought you had a pto winch......

What !!! Ya had the muffler off an didn't get out a light an look into the jug ? To see condition of cylinder and piston ???

I have a 266 and a 272, it sounds like a small difference but the power increase is substantial.

That is a Great one glad I have one. I’ve saw 2 farmers spend $300 each repairing their 65 vs buying new saw. Classic saw 77. Dud get a logging tape and put a horseshoe nail on it. That tape has got to Go!

Why have I not heard of this channel🤷🏻‍♂️ SUB’d!

Cool saw, I'm a McCulloch guy. I'm currently doing a full restoration on my pro Mac 60, then hopefully put some new rings in my 7-10.

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

I still have my dad's Husqvarna 65 from 40 years ago. I guess i should get it out and run it a bit. It was used very little.

That child is just too precious.

Your camera work is just as impressive as the saw.

I am fortunate enough to have a 77 with a bow. The thing is a beast. I'd like to have a dollar for every 65 that was in use during the hey day of five foot pulpwood.

I prefer the 2 series Huskies. I also have a couple 61s . 1 is great. also my 268xp is a pretty good saw. I just picked up a knock off 288 xp. Seems ok too

..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!.. :)

How much is one of those worth? I'm in my 70s and I have an SS77 that I bought new from a dealer in 1982. Can't start it since my shoulder replacements in 2010.

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

I have my father's Husqvarna 77 that he bought new in 1977. I'm needing a coil and can't find. One from a L65 will work. Any ideas on where I may find one? No it's not for sale 😊 Everyone asks.

That 77 hums like a sewing machine!

The vintage Husky 77 sure does RIP! 🤩

DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO SHOWING HOW YOU SHARPEN YOUR CHAIN SAWS?

When I was a kid my father used to cut pulpwood and ply logs. Every little community in west central Georgia had a pulpwood yard and ply logs went to GP in Durand. He used Poulan 54’s until he was finally talked into trying a Husky 77. Good grief what great saws those Huskys were. We actually survived using bow saws too.

Love me some old saws!

Dude! I've got a 77 out in the barn!

Thank s

I have an old Jonsereds 920 that’s a 90 cc saw .we were cutting 36 in Oak and beach that saw doesn’t slow down.Now to old to even start it
