chainsaws

Does anyone know when the Mac's and Pro Mac's started production? Some use similar numbers and in searching for parts I am unsure if some of the bars, spurs and sprokets are interchangable? The new McCollochs after the brand name was sold use different bars, pitch and gauge. Completely...

Hi y’all, I was cutting some wood with my XL-12 and for whatever reason the oiler went limp. It hardly pumps any oil if any. From my past experiences I know there’s a O-ring inside these plungers, but what I haven’t seen yet is a plunger without the retaining nut on top. How exactly do I take...

im looking into square filing chain, how much better/worse is it? I know its a little harder to learn but seems to have nicer results I saw inbred jed using a regular old triangle file, and others using some weird mix between a flat and triangle file, does it really matter what file I use...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and looking for some answers. We recently started building handcrafted log homes so I went to the local Stihl dealer and bought a 261 C-M for our notching and small saw work. After using it a few days (less than 10 hours on the saw) it wasn't starting and obviously...

I cheaped-out on my 1st top-handle, having found clones of the echo cs2511t for $100-150 (will list specs/saws beneath post), so got this great lil 25.4cc, "1.2HP" saw that I love but I have to rope-up my rear-handled 42cc/18" the second my lil top-handle can't cut-it anymore, this is obviously...

I just purchased a set of Homelite ECS 20, ECSS14 & the Homelite generator that runs them. I don't really know much about chainsaws but they appear to all be complete. The person I bought them from said that they were bought together as a package by her grandfather when they were brand new...

So, I got a couple new chainsaws recently. Was working on them for a customer but ended up getting to keep them because of how much the repairs would cost. One is a new-ish (2013) plastic Homelite 3816 C chainsaw, with carry case. It idles, but won't rev up, even after replacing fuel...

Throughout the span that I have been chainsaw carving, I have had people give me numerous beater saws, thinking I could repair them or use them for parts. I have accumulated about a dozen power heads and have absolutely no use for them. I am located in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, and will give them to...

McCulloch 440 Pro Mac VC. Runs great. Occasionally the pull cord gets stuck.

Yesterday I picked up a free used Remington (rm5520r) Rodeo Pro 55cc. In full disclosure the guy said it will not run and would be a project. Guess it was his dad's saw. He bought it new, used it for couple years before it quit on him and gave it to his son as a project where it sat for another...

Red - Pending payment/Sold Blue - Pending (Someone asked for shipping but hasn't committed) I have a few chainsaws I would like to get rid of. I have my eye on a saw I would like to purchase so I am trying to liquidate some of my collection I don't use anymore. All of the prices listed below...

I cannot find much information about the black and yellow Craftsman Pro Series chainsaws, but I would like to find an 18 inch bar and chain rather than use the original 20 inch bar on it now. It looks like Husky made these saws, and this one specs out to the Husqvarna 445. Is it safe to use a...

Plan on doing some milling soon but what to make sure I buy a saw with enough power to mill Live Oak and Black Walnut. I had a Sacs/Dolmar for years and was impressed with the saw but the local Stihl dealer is only a few blocks away for service if needed. I have around 1k +/- for saw funds...

Looking to buy my first saw. I've used them in the past, just never owned one myself. I have a number of oak trees and stumps to remove from my property. Don't worry everyone, I wont be sticking the saw down into the dirt, I have a old sawzall for the roots. I've been looking for a used, pro...
