McCulloch Chain Saws

[Walter Glover]

Iirc should be slotted screws or 3/8" he if #10
The SP80 I bought had a pretty rough piston so now I'm nervous so therefore the rec

I'll throw a 1/4 drive set and a couple screwdrivers in the truck. And Walter, I wish I could find an sp80 or 81.

Could be 5/16 so a set is a good idea.
I do like the vibe isolated saws the best so far. A CP70L and the SP80 will likely need a little brother like an SP60 lol

Be sure to look in the fuel tank for varnish, corrosion, or the coating coming off.

There is a decent looking sp60 on eBay at the moment.

I have ended up with a spare SP60, has the PM850 style brace (lower part of the rear handle and skid plate) and the PM850 long clutch cover. 24" sprocket nose bar in good condition. I haven't even tried to start it yet.

Also toofoos check the oiler for function. Some of the 250 series used a cup style oiler piston that is rare as hens teeth. I have one nos one but was.only one I could find

Nice saw, never seen one in my neck of the woods. Is that a Jonny just sneaking into the pics?

 

[heimannm]

I have been informed it is a Jonsered 50.

Thanks Mark for putting that up. Interesting chain.

Love my 49sp!

 

[heimannm]

I am pretty sure that is a standard Stihl "green" chain.

I don't remember seeing wavy non cutting links. Do they help remove chips?

New to me spike for the SP80

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

Now that is interesting.

 

[heimannm]

Love the H&S spike wherever you find them.



I have a couple for the large frame direct drive saws, even a set for the large frame gear drive saws. All of those photos are on the Seagate drive that gave up the ghost...

Did you ever get one fab'd up from the template I sent of the one on my SP81? I know it was a Stihl spike but never could nail down what saw it may have originally come from. It was clearly ground on somewhat to fit the SP81.

 

[heimannm]

Not yet, I have a whole notebook of spikes to get made one day, maybe I will have some time starting in April.

KInd of cheating a bit. I made that one.
