McCulloch Chain Saws

[heimannm]

Just set the point gap at 0.018-0.020" and you are good to go, nothing further needed.

wow Mark nice haul! Drove by your town a couple of days ago. Had family with me so stopping wasn't an option. You might not have been there anyways as you clearly were picking this stuff up

I picked up a 47 for $10 off of the local CL this week. I haven't seen one of these in person until now and I've always thought these where quite ugly. Now that I have one on the bench I think it is pretty awesome. Any first hand knowledge/experience is appreciated.

I have 3 of them but have yet to hear one run.

 

[backhoelover]

[heimannm]

I have a 77 that runs well, pulls pretty well too.

I dont come in too much anymore but you got my attn. With the older saws. The big older saws are what i look for most.. I got a few nice ones that run good. Recently got a 77 awhile back that's in great shape and runs sweet. I tore it down and cut out some fresh gaskets, replaced seals and put a 3' bar on with 9/16" chipper chain. It's a beast but more for display than anything. Anyway they are impressive saws among being heavy. This has to be near 50 lbs as is... I tore it down and cut out some fresh gaskets, replaced seals and it runs very smooth.

These always start on one or two pulls. They are good running saws but just too damn heavy to run all the time. I learned my lesson with these and had to give my 51 year old body a break they will work on you if you run them frequently. I'm not 20 anymore but I do love running , fixing and collecting these beasts... I've been lucky finding parts here and there for these so far but it's only going to get harder as time goes by. It will be around long after I'm gone...

I been hunting for one of these and it took awhile. The early 4-30 saws used the same handle, side cvr, and rubber as the 3-25. I believe the first 10000 were like this until they switched to the more common handle in front like a 47. This saw is in incredible shape all original down to the primer and HJ chain. Not much use on the chain. It was repainted at one time but no biggie. Was real happy to put this in the collection and it looks like a pretty low hour saw. I don't think it will take much to get it going but I don't plan on using it much at all. Just a great old saw with a fairly low serial number. 4-30. - 2068

You have got to be the luckiest McCulloch collector on the planet to constantly find all the parts you do. You can probably open up your own nos McCulloch parts store. Id to be content to find a quarter of what you do. On another note it is good to know a lot of this stuff is still out there you just got to find it.

If the guy with the most yellow saws and parts wins, I think Mark's got a pretty good chance. He might need a bigger truck and/or workshop at the rate he's going.

I did some more cleaning and got it to run fairly well. Still needs a little TLC, but it seems to be a good solid saw. I'd like to find a cover/plug for the spark plug.

We have a couple of either those or the 3-25s in the back shed. Can't imagine they are too rare? I found an owners manual a while back for a 3-25 circa 1945. I offered it up on here for a few $$s and not one was interested.

Pro Mac 800 worth anything? I found one of those in the corner of one of the parts rooms at the shop, looks complete.

Looks like that but the air filter cover is black and the muffler guard is a bit different.

I am hoping later this winter I can start to sort through all the NOS McCulloch parts we have. Have at least one full aisle.

Well a nice clean 800 sold for north of $500 yesterday on Ebay. Good rumners are around $300 - $400 on Ebay and $200 Craigslist.

Huh... might have to throw it on the bench and go through it. Looks complete, even has a bar and chain. Not too beat up either, just some paint missing here and there.

That 800 has more grunt than a ms460, though quite a bit less chain speed. Still I like mine plenty fine. The 800's are quiter than the 850's which robs them of some power but makes them a lot more pleasant when running for an extended period of time. Definitely a great Mac 82cc series 10 saw.

The 3-25 didn't come out until Oct - Nov of 49. If that's an early manual I'm interested in it as well as the saws. PM me if you want to sell those.
