Picked it up yesterday night. (And a big thank you, Guido Salvage!) :cheers:

Haven't had time to try it out yet. Other than a chunk missing out of the back of the cluck cover,

I can't seem to find anything else wrong with it. And the chain still has plenty of life left too.
 
Just picked up a freebie McCullouch off of a neighbor.

Looks pretty similiar to the Supper 44A but is missing the nameplate and so on. Is there any other way to identify the saw?

I will be posting pics when I am able.

There should be some numbers stamped on the bottom of the crank case. Depending on which saw it is they may be in a slightly different location.

Mark, I want to thank you on that tip about using JB Weld to fill in holes on these saws. I didn't realize that product was any better than any other epoxy glue product. I've had a couple of tubes around here for ages but never considered using it. Today I used it in conjunction with fiberglass cloth to fill in a clutch cover on an old saw I had. It had a chunk knocked out of it and I patched it up good as new. Thanks again AP
 
Mark, I just went out and looked.


It is a S-44, which is a Super 44 correct?

How can I got about getting a bar and chain for this saw?

Can you offer any further information about this saw?

The Super 44 is 80 cc / 4.9 In³, manual oiler only, Tillotson carburetor. For its day it was a very high revving saw and could hit 10,000 RPM when properly tuned.

The bars are intechangeable on virtually any saw from the D-30/36 up through the SP125 model saws. However, the chain adjuster for the 44 Series as well as a few others like the 1-40's and 1-50's require a little milled scallop in the bar for the oversize head of the adjusted screw. I don't have any good photo's on my computer so maybe someone else out there can contribute a shot.

Same goes for the clutch drum, same drum will fit any of the large frame saws from the D-30 all the way through the SP125. If you need a drum and have a choice, try to find one with a bearing if you plan to use the saw much as the brass bushings tend to wear pretty quickly and once they start to wobble they will drag and turn the chain when you don't want it.

Since this is a right hand start saw, the clutch has the starter pawls in it but don't worry, again there are a lot of saws that shared the same clutch design so parts are not too hard to find.

we have a rare sunny day, I decided to sort through the lumber. I'll be using some of it to build up my sawshop. The wood is OG DF, it is dense, some of it was very heavy, took me half a day to move it, probably a half hours work for the rest of you.

Played around a little bit with it today, see if I could get it running. A lot of carbon on the piston. Stored with no gas in it, which is excellent. Checked to see if it had spark and it damn near knocked me on my ass :)

It seems as if it's not getting fuel down into the carb, dumped a little fuel into the cylinder and it fired right up, same when I put fueel into the carb.

Must check all of the fuel lines.

I do have an extra, a very nice one, never installed, it could be a month before I can get to it. Rustproofing the Ranchero will slow down getting to my shop.
