Neat old saw! I enjoy running my grandfathers old Super XL and still get it out a few times each year. Its heavy, but man does it cut. Now I know why my grandfather was deaf, that sucker is LOUD!

Howdy buckin my first saw in 79 was the 922 super xl I was logging and living off the grid out of Terrace , that saw kept the family warm for many winters and I still have it today. The company I worked for at the time had one on all the equipment and they would make quick work on the big sticks. And our crummy was a 77 f250 with a stick. cheers Dave

I have a 903 I can get back up and running to pass the time. I think I'll use a 923 cylinder. They say the square port cylinder doesn't overheat as bad as the oval port.

When I was 8 years old I was told by my father that if I could start this saw that I could run it. I wasn't big enough or strong enough to start it normally. I had to stand on top of the saw and pull with both hands and I was able to get it started. From that point on it was my job to buck firewood with it and supply the family home with wood for the heater. I was regretting ever starting it when I was a kid. But as an adult having a chainsaw in my hands is second nature. I have told this story a few times growing up and if it were not me that experienced it I would have a hard time believing it myself. But it's a pretty big saw to start off with as a little kid. I had a very abnormal childhood. That's one story of many. Thanks for the video! Brought back some great memories!

there is a long answer and a short one , if they needed to build something they wood mill it, building with this material cannot be used inside unless graded by a professional wood grader , you are also left with all the mill side cuts, in order to sell logs here you need a timber mark . an this particular job this is a common land of 7 owners who all burn firewood ,, firewood often becomes the option to make it all go away and folks get to heat there homes and sit around the fire watchin buckin' videos loloplol ,, on our last job we had 15 loads of logs which wood never go to firewood .... 6 trees on the othe hand .... there is much more i could ramble on about ,, but wont,, love ya buddy hope this helps some what
