McCulloch Chain Saws

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Thanks for the compliment on the shop. It is a disaster right now, I really need to take a weekend and get it organized.

Ok I'll see what the parts shop has in the cabinet. I like a nice interesting messy workshop to a point as it shows your doing stuff. Thats a nice shelf full of saws up there too

Also, does anyone have a picture of what the muffler outlet should look like on this 1-86? This one is just a wide open hole and I dont think that's right. I'm probably just gonna fabricate something.

 

[2broke2ride]

Probably gonna end up keeping my eyes open for a new muffler. Once I started cleaning it up, it is all rotted full of holes.
Im.working on brazing it up but it's not gonna be pretty.
I also dont think this handlebar is right for this saw. It seems too tall and too narrow compared to the one on my 440 and the top bracket was heavily modified to.fit this tank.

Hey 2 broke.. Check PM. also check Acres site on the 1-86.. Has a drawing but you'll get an idea. K

Not sure about the 1-86 but I put a 795 muffler on my 1-76. It fit like it was meant to be there.

Pretty sure that all large frame mac motors use the same bolt pattern on the muffler, not sure about the 125s or 101bs though. Both times i've had saws with the box muffler (1-72 and 795) on them they've been fully rotted out, the round ones seem to hold up better/longer, I think they're stainless. The stack exhaust from the early saws will also fit.

Does anyone know what a condenser should test on a 2-10?Mine tested at .13uF.

 

[2broke2ride]

Well here she is. Still working on the muffler and need a bar and chain and a sprocket but it's mostly done.
Now I just hope it runs lol. May need to do a kit in the carb bit I will see. It ran on prime and the carb didnt look bad inside so I just cleaned it.

That looks amazing, I know what it looked like before.

I don't have any good photos but the 1-86 should have a rectangular muffler. Here is a photo of the "Town & Country" AKA "Loud & Louder" muffler on my 1-72.

Thanks Mark. Ya, it was pretty crusty, amazing what a lot of cleaning and a little paint will do.
That looks similar to what is on there minus the town and country feature. Mine is like swiss cheese with rot so I'm gonna keep my eyes open for something better. Might even buy a GEM muffler when the saw funds are replenished.

The muffler I put on my 1-76.

I am in need of a part number for the fuel line for this. Th IPL I have shows a 1-76 instead of a 1-86 on that page and it shows the line coming down into the airbox from the top. This saw uses a very short line at the bottom of the box with a wick type filter in the tank. I cant really make the bend with regular line.

Picked up a Super Pro 80 earlier this week. I'm a Poulan guy but this saw looked cool and seems fairly hard to find. Plus 82cc's! And the price was right.

Runs good, I just cleaned it up and put a new bar and chain on it.

I took down a large ash tree today, victim of the Emerald Ash Borer that is making its way through the area. Most of the tree required the use of an aerial lift, not my favorite way to take a tree down but rather necessary for many of these town trees.

That's a 36" bar on the SP125, needed all of it and more to get the main trunk down on the ground.

As you can see there was an extensive crotch agglomeration so I noodled a lot of it into firewood size chunks rather than trying to manipulate them in the splitter.

SWEET!

Took a 125 out today to fall a large white oak. It wouldn't start. Wore myself out, finally gave up and after catching my breath, I retrieved my 800 and put the tree down. This is my favorite 125 that has been running poorly on the last two outings, including backfiring. Brian showed up and diagnosed the need for a carb rebuild. He had previously told me that he suspected such, but like most things I put it off.

We cut the oak in FEL size except for a 16+' section off the bottom that I saved as a log - possibly for trailer floor boards. Not sure how we are going to get it out of the woods, but that's a problem for another day. I ran Brian favorite 10-10 while my off brand was stuck. The torque is impressive.

Nice white oak:





Brian swapping chains on his 800 (28" bar .404 chain). That's my ailing 125 in his truck.

Sure wish I had a SP125 that didn't run..., or a dead PM850 for that matter!

Kevin H - You can fit a low profile HL on the 795 or just plug the ports and prime it for cold starts. If you change carburetors you will have to fabricate some new linkages for the throttle and choke.

Kevin S - I have a spare of that short, 90 degree fuel line if you can't find it elsewhere.

Poge - how about dead and partially decomposed PM850? I would have to look and see just what is actually there.

Thanks Mark, could really use that. I am having no luck finding one and dont even have a part number which isnt helping.
