McCulloch Chain Saws

[svk]

If I use anything to coat the inside of a fuel tank it is Red Kote, available from your local O'Reilly's parts store.

Yep. Good stuff.

I'll have to look into that. I have a super pro 60 that had corrosion in the tank and I used tiny nuts and soapy water to clean it out and now there is no paint to protect the tank. Should I try to seal it? I may not have to seal the tank on my PM700.

I am looking for IPLs for the following saws: 795, 797, 895. If anyone knows where I can find them please IM me.

895

 

[Bob95065]

WOW! Thanks for posting the IPLs Heimannm!

One question: Do you have the parts list for the 797 that lists the McCulloch part numbers?

 

[heimannm]

Sorry, I was just looking at the IPL titles on file and didn't bother to make sure they were complete. I don't know why McCulloch did that on a few models, probably has some new guy calling shots in the Engineering group putting his recent education into practice.

Here is the earliest one I have with part numbers.

I think they are neat and all but for what it sold for you could buy two sp125 saws or a few others for the same money, I'd still like to have one but I won't get crazy over it. And also you wouldn't happen to have a picture of this so called 2 button 3-25, I have that model but have heard nothing of this two button variety or its rarity.

Sorry guy for the slow response I don't Come in here much anymore. The two button 3-25 is the first of the series made. A lot of folks are not familiar with them at all. Oct of 49 to around March of 1950 and they were gone. I have a real nice example mostly all original but missing the carb as usual. Carbs are very hard to find, saw isn't that easy to find itself but the early carbs had problems and were magnesium and porous. The later carbs were aluminum and were much better. The second button was there to shut the fuel off. Later on they added the thumb screw on the side of the carb and did away with the second button. So it was a short run and that's why you don't see many. Very hard to find especially complete and original.

Picked up a 1-62 earlier today. Starts on the first few pulls. Needs a sprocket and chain. Hoping to get a .404 pitch for it, as its running a 1/2" pitch at the moment. Anyone know how to get the old sprocket off?

And what mixture should I be running? 40:1 alright? I'm not sure what the seller was running so after he showed me it ran and I got it home I dumped the gas. Hoping it wasnt straight gas.

And does anyone have an IPL?

Wow what a nice example. I really like the 1-60 series gear drives they are nice saws. Your choice but .404 on a gear drive isn't all that great i don't think. 1/2" or larger seems to work best. I been running 9/16" chipper on my 77 and love how it cuts. Just don't have big enough timber to use it enough. I cut down a fairly large ash the other day and finally got to run it again. Great running saw and makes a hell of a pile of chips.

At times those sprockets can be a pain to get off. I usually put heat on them a short time and they slide right off. To tighten or loosen it you can use an old sprocket to lock it in place against the bar pad/stud that's what I use . If you ever decide to sell that drop me a line gear drives are my favorites to run, rebuild and collect.

My 77 and some NOS loops of 9/16" and 5/8" chisel. Love running this big chain but it and sprockets can be tough to find...

.404 chips compared to 9/16" chips

It is the reverse ATM, need the edit function or the Sportster will keep following me around.

Hey Randy!

[RandyMac]

How goes it Mark?

 

[heimannm]

Too much to do and not enough time to do it for me.

The last saws I worked on were Mini Mac's...



I ran my PM55 and SP125 a couple of weeks ago helping a friend cut down a tree, that was a pretty good day.
