Thanks for relaying how great Oregon's customer service is. That sealed the deal on which corded I'll buy in future!

You did a great job with the videography BUT more importantly the information, breakdown and repair (especially the steel putty, I’m a jB weld guy but will try to keep some of that steel puddy aroung my workbench). You like fixing stuff yourself just like I do and you remined me of myself and used a lot of the same terms as I do. So I was right there with you and enjoyed it! As for Oregon, the reason I came to your video was that I’m considering buying this model (I’ve always been a gas chainsaw kind of guy but gotta keep up right?). Your video AND at the end your explaination of the wonderful customer service lady that helped you convinced me to buy the CS1500 when I can get one on sale. I am concerned about the chain drive wheel you pointed out on both your machine and the donar they sent you. When you called to thank them and tell them how it worked to bring your back to life (I think you would have done that), did you ask about that drive wheel and maybe a new stronger metal wheel? Maybe it wears on purpose. Again, great video for many reasons, all of which were you …haha. So Thank You!!

If you guys are watching this video, make sure you go to 23 minutes and listen to the Customer Service that he ended up getting. Unheard of and impressive!

Very useful instructional video, thankyou.

Boy, you sure are a savvy dude! Great job

Thanks man. Good info.

wow you got a free saw, lucky guy.

I have the CS-1400 Oregon saw and the top hose that is attached to the top of the oil pump came off at the point that it attaches to the tube near the chain.. so my oil is being pumped into the bottom of the motor case... do you have any ideas as to how I can reattach this hose without breaking the saw in half like you did?

Sir very helpful video 😊

What gauge of extension cord do you normally use? I believe the smaller gauge will cause more motor heat.

Lowe's Kobalt A011038 15 Amps 18-in Corded Electric Chainsaw appears to be the same saw with a different paint job. No parts available for it either. Great concept, very poor design and manufacturing. Oregon could have used more steel instead of plastic and had a really good saw. Too bad it's basically junk.

Thanks for the tool teardown, after replacing the bearing why did you tear down the other side?

Do you flip the rail? Should

Mine have less than 10month and use 3 times. Good oil etc.. but the plastic around the rotor melt down and it is all useless now. I send a mail for an exchange and we will see. I am in france. Hope they have good service here cause i was thinking i buy a good brand

just bought one and make a large rattling sound after use

How many hours/cords before this happend? guess?

i get the point of self repair and also learning how things work on the inside, but dude the saw is only £129 new, time labour and parts? i appreciate the video but i think i would have brought a new one especially after 4 seasons of hard use for a £129 corded saw.
