I bleed YELLOW!
I believe it had a 10-10 motor when I got it. It was shot so I swapped it for a better one. It worked great for me. I loved it.

Sorry! Won't happen again
Still on my wish list:

PM105
LG-2
Super LG-2

Yellow top Super 250
645
Super Pro Mac 610
390 was reportedly delivered today so I still need the 10 Series cut off saw (Target Quickie based on the 7-10) and the Mini Mac cut off saw. I have a running Target Quickie 795 based unit and the Stowe cut off saw (795 based as well)and a couple of different cut off attachments for the 200/250 models. I am also still looking for the Brush Cutter and Roto-Bit pruner for the large frame saws, I have the Earth Drill thanks to Stude54.
I would not mind a few more of the Titan models as well, I have the Titan 50 & DE50 and the Titan 57 so far.
And a 6 cylinder turbocharged version of the drone engine. I have the common 4 cylinder...
Don't blame me, you asked.
Why McCulloch? I didn't know Poulan made excellent vintage stuff as well when I started collecting 10 years or so ago...and my Dad always ran McCulloch, even gave me a 200 when I went off to college so that's where I started.

Cool stuff, Mark. Mac really went all-out with slapping that saw powerhead on lots of things, didn't they. Funny that they basically just left it alone in terms of shape and controls when they adapted it to other uses. That week trimmer would be funky to see in person. What a heavy beast that would be!

They have done a lot of cylinders for me. I'm set up as a dealer with them.
Gets me some good pricing.

What type of prep has to be done before sending a cylinder off to them? Do they take care of all repair and then re-plating or must a cylinder be 'fixed' before they get it and all they do is plate it?
Just trying to think ahead in case my attempts with sanding and Scotchbrite aren't fruitful.
Thanks,
Rob
To prove his point, here is Joey demonstrating the Lear unit the day he delivered it.

Not all McCulloch enthusiasts would be excited about this one but I was able to get this one in very good conditioned and delivered to my house for under $90.
Now I need to try and find an 8" blade.

You can send a cylinder as is. They will clean it, Resurface the bore. Any repairs are
extra cost. I always bead blast my cylinders prior to sending them.
Good information Lee. What about deep scratches from scoring, can they repair/rescue a cylinder like that? I have a few SP105/125 and SP80/81 that might be salvageable if they can handle flaking chrome and scratches.

I think I probably have 5 or 6 PM80/8200 in the attic as well with some scoring.

Mark, as I understand it the limit without repairs is the size of your piston. They hone your cylinder and plate it to fit your piston. You send the piston you are going to use with the cylinder. Best case for bad scratches would be an A cylinder fitted to a C piston. Brian may be able to be more specific about their capabilities. The cylinder for my project saw is there now with his 125C cylinder. Brian thinks we will get them back in the next couple of weeks. He really likes their work and their formula.

Mark, Scratches aren't a big issue but if you have a cylinder that has a gouge right to the top
they can't get in far enough to weld up the gouge. otherwise they should be able to repair and
replate the cylinder. Mark is the guy I deal with and doe's the work. he hates doing the blind
cylinders and keeps threating me he's going to stop doing them. I tell him I don't care just keep
doing them for me. He's a great guy.
Thanks Lee, one day when I have some time I will try to look at all the saws and cylinders in the attic.

I deal with Mark also. Super nice guy and he does hate doing blind cylinders. Like Lee said if they are gouged past the plating he cannot get in there to repair. Now on a 101B or others that have open cylinders he has a better chance of fixing them. He also threatens me that he is going to quit doing blind cylinders but every time I ask him he says to send them. But super nice and easy to work with, will help you if he can. The cylinders that he has done for me have always been flawless when I get them back. I have used them for many motorcycle cylinders through out the years. I have also thought that if their is a gouge that went into the aluminium you could find a piston that is big enough to go past the gouge and just have them bore it to that size to get past the gouge and then plate it. Just a thought.

Well to change the subject a little I had my PM6 out tonight cutting some smaller wood. It has a 14 inch bar and I had it buried and it just kept on going. I really like that little saw. It will start first pull and runs great. (Thanks Ron) My elbow has been giving me trouble and handling a big saw right now is hard for me and this little fellow just keeps on cutting. Great little saw.
