McCulloch Chain Saws

Just heard back from him .... Lee's having 'issues' with computer technology and stuff ...

I did relay your message to him, however ...

Edit: He says "YOU SUCK!" for getting that 797 for cheap.

I did manage to get to my computer, coming to you now by way of my wireless phone hot spot from Australia...I suspect I will run out of my 800 MB data plan before the 19th.

The 1-85 is 2.125" bore, the piston PN is different from other 2.125" bore saws of the same vintage. I suspect that is a matter of ring design as I am pretty sure the 1-75/85 are thin ring but I don't know that for a fact. If it is just a matter of the piston, there should be other pistons available.

The 790/795 is 2.2185" bore and 103 cc displacement, the 1-85 is actually only 95 cc.

Good news is you can still drop in virtually any of the large frame "super series" engines like the 790/795 etc. if your 1-85 cylinder and piston are beyond hope.

Safe travels!

Anyone know where I can find crank seals for my 740? Are the seals for the kart motors the same ? Are the part numbers on the rod needle bearings and piston pin bearings. Anyone know where I can get a parts pdf also ? My saw has two crank seals on the clutch side and I can't remember how they go in. I've found a few things on eBay

Hey All,

Came across this in a CL ad, never heard of this model before....

Obviously the style is familiar, just the "T-50" name is odd....maybe the canadian version of the 1-50?

I assume the handle has had new grip material added, doesn't look like stock Mac, not of that era anyway.

Looks like it has the rare "don't know who made it" bar.



Chicago CL if anyone is interested: http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/grd/4232988664.html

It's a 1-50. Looks like someone remade the label.

 

[joeymt33]

See the wrinkles in the sicker? The weird hologram background? That looks like a reproduced sticker.

 

[Warped5]

Andy, why are you cruising CL by my house?

 

[minosi]

Hey Ted,

Using SearchTempest...the sorting is all over the place...basically for fun, while I drink my coffee.

I like it better than CL, as it isn't as limiting.

-Andy

 

[Warped5]

Yah, Search Tempest is OK, but List Alert was better before CL forced them to shut down. You could set up automatic searches on whichever list you wanted and get one email a day with the lists. ST drives me a bit nuts, as the results are not always sorted very well.

 

[Eccentric]

Yeah I'm still pissed that list-alert was shut down. ST sucks.

Gentlemen. And there are so fiew of us left.

I am in need of a set of chrome edged steel rings for a 1.750" bore with a thickness of .032".

Can anyone tell me if there is a saw ,such as the 54cc, 10 series which uses a 1/32" thick chrome steel rings.

I have a book of notes on where I can find information in this thread but after we were hacked none of it is
of any use.

And there are so few of us left.

ODW

Isn't that the truth!

What are you trying to repair?

I know guys with parts for everything, if I can help out let me know.

-Andy

 

[minosi]

sorry, duplicate post

 

[OldDeadWood]

Andy

Thanks for replying.

I'm working on my BP-1, so I didn't expect people to have these on the shelf.

That's the reason I asked about a thin steel ring for a 1 3/4" bore.

[Warped5]

ODW - You may wish to PM chainsawwhisperer .... I think he has some parts. Say 'hello' to Jim for me, too.

 

[minosi]

Hey All-

Picked up a mix of NOS and used parts today from an old dealer.

Some good Super Pro stuff, looks like SP70 leftovers...plus NOS reeds, fuel line and anti-vibe.

Looking through the old IPL's, I can't figure out which saw the fuel felt belongs to...anyone recognize it by sight?

Are those flatback diaphrams?



Thanks for the help!

Andy

 

[Eccentric]

I believe that felt's for the 33/35/39 series gear drives. The two narrower sections (far left and far right in the pic) were folded up 90 degrees when installed.

I'm new around here, I've been enjoying getting up to speed on all this chainsaw stuff. For years I had a bad impression about using chainsaws, which I now realize was because I never sharpened a chain, ever. And hit dirt and rocks frequently.

For years I've had a PM 310 that I'd found in the trash somewhere, never did anything with it. After watching some Donyboy73 videos on YouTube ("The Small Engine Doctor"), I got motivated to pull it and a 33cc Homelite (Home Depot type) out and try to get them working. After a simple carb clean, they both fired right up. The 310 is missing the "plug" that goes in the sharpener hole. I figured it would be fine without it. Turns out that without the plug, the hole becomes an efficient hand-oiler, shooting oil directly onto your first knuckle. I see they sell the plugs on eBay for $11, but right now I have no need for this saw, so I may wait on that, or maybe make a wooden plug for the hole.

Now someone has given me a Pro Mac 610, which I've begun to clean up so I can get that running. The guy that I got it from said he used to live in northern Michigan and heated with wood, and the saw ran great for him. It hasn't run for "decades", now, but it looks to be in good condition, though a little rough cosmetically. It only has a 16" bar, which seems pretty small for a 60cc saw. I hope to find a cheap 20" bar that will fit it (I just bought some new full comp Oregon chain for it, 3/8" x .050 D70.) That would be more appropriate, as this saw is no lightweight! I've seen some YouTube videos with them running up to 28", though I read on here that the 610 isn't as powerful as the displacement would suggest. Enough for what I need, I hope.

I've also ordered some files (with guides) so that I can learn what it's like to use a chainsaw when it's sharp. I expect it will be a much more rewarding experience!

Cozy couple!

These phone shots are disappointing. I'll have to dig out my Canon DSLR and get some real pics to post on here...
