McCulloch Chain Saws

[RandyMac]

I do happen to have a set of standard spikes that I can send you, they will need a polish.

 

[Brian13]

I would definitely be interested!

Farley9n gave me these beauties to bring home, I can't thank him enough for all he and his wonderful spouse did for our GTG.

Let's see, upper left, a hulk of a 640, short bar is a 790, the one with the roller is a nice 200, the old logging saw is a 5-20L Homelite, the little red and white gem is an EZ. That will be Annie's for the next GTG.

Looks like a healthy bunch you got there. The 790 makes the 200 look kind of small. Any of them run?

I think I remember there being interest in a Supper 55. While cruising ebay I found one that the guy said he was told it was a Super 55. I cant tell for sure if it is or isnt.

Randy,
You can feel free to ship one of those ''yeller'' ones to Michigan (I'll pay for it). I'll put em to use for sure.

I was thinking that was a fine bunch myself, I won't know what's with them, until I get through the last batch and the one before that. Later today I'm visiting a Redwood faller that wants to give me "a few boxes of old crap leftover from Simpson's Klamath shop" I can hardly wait.

 

[Brian13]

Well good luck hopfully there is a SP 125 or S797 in the bunch!!

Is it alright for me to be excited for you?

Yes, of course it is, but go outside if yer gonna wet yerself.

I need a second sawyer to drag around my stuff, Burvol wouldn't do it.

If you study the photo's carefully you will discover that bar was originally a hard nose, somone converted it to the roller nose.

I have a similar one that came on my 640.

Folks used to put a fair amount of time and effort into keeping/maintaining/converting old bars. Today you just throw it away and get a new one...

hi,

When I was going through some old CSA magazines, i came across an advertisement for General bars - which shows the roller nose bars with the hardened rails behind the roller nose - just like CPR has on his saw. The bar looks to be a General bar from the remains of the brand painted on the bar itself.

It seems then, that the bar has not been converted but an original factory design. Here is a copy of the ad, and the photo of CPR's roller nose bar for reference.

Regards,

Chris.

Cool find, thanks for the info. :yourock: Tried to rep you, but can't. HELP!

Some more photos of the General roller...

 

[Brian13]

I cant stop staring!

Very neat information on the General bar Chris. I have three NOS hard nose General bars (all 18") for my old McCulloch saws. I will have to choose carefully which ones get to sport "The General".

1 day auction on fleabay. Is this factory or some kind of aftermarket add-on? It's a Mac 10-10 automatic with a gear drive. I've never seen one of these before. There are no special markings or model designations I can see in the pics.

It looks like it may be the LG 6 A.

Here ya go Randy and Cliffy,
This came in today, Model Super LG2 and
came with this bow bar. Not sure if
it's original to the saw. But looks good.
And runs well also. Just needs a muffler
or just the muffler cover. Hint, Hint.

I figured that I would go ahead and start a new thread on my new to me 5-10G. Based upon my tracking number, I won't receive the saw until next Tuesday. I can't hardly wait. Here are the only pictures that I have of the saw right now.

Thought I would ad this here too.

Love those Mac bowsaws Cliff - you are indeed the ultimate collector of these wonderful machines! That old Mac G-70 Auto is a really nice piece to have in the collection.



Regards,

Chris.
