McCulloch Chain Saws

[rarefish383]

It has a 2 piece. I've seen a couple NOS ones for my 750 on ebay. Buy It Now price was $125 and they were gone in hours. I have a problem with buying a part 30 years old that was known to have issues back then. I've always said if I found some kid fresh out of electrical engineering school, he could probably make something in a few minutes.

Getting my new shelves up is going slower than planned. Carolyn should be home by 8 with the two new yellow babies. I have a men's group meeting at 7. These are the boards I'm using for the shelves. The shelves have just been squared on the wall side, live edge on the front, and I didn't bother planing them. Metasequoia/Dawn Redwood

It won't cost you much to try one of the Chinese Husky modules. One of the Pioneer guys replace the two piece ignition on a large P series saw with one of the Chinese Husky 365 modules. You might have to fab some simple brackets to make it work,

If it's the trigger that goes on the Echo's and not the coil you might try a Nova module with your Echo coil.

Something like that might get the Echo ripping again.

Thanks, Tim. I have one Nova left downstairs. If that works I will feel kind of stupid, for not trying it. I have wondered if it would work.

Anything is worth a try. If the coil is shot you might try any plain coil spare you have around as well.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

If there's any primary and secondary resitance at all on the coil it's probably worth the time to give that chip a shot. Trigger devices of all types notoriously go bad. Coils not nearly as often.

Last post for a bit on my Pro Mac 800 only had a 20 inch bar would like to find a nice 28 to put on if
only for show have enough other saws so use will be limited. I picked up another clutch guard
that's set up for a decompressor, I do have the right one but needs paint. I can see why some saws
with the full wrap are missing the chainbrake there a bear to put on and seem impossible unless you
remove the bar. Probably can be done if you aren't worried about scratches. Well I got lots of projects
my Pro Mac 60 is in a box needs cleaning and assembling will probably need some seals at the very
least. Wheres everyone get their seals. Thanks

Seals are all over ebay at a pretty steep price. Aftermarket substitutes from Timken/National and SKF are also available and a bit more reasonable. Someone will likely stop by soon with corresponding part numbers to the OEM 61618 and 110260. @fossil ?

 

[rarefish383]

They arrived. I know the 10-10 runs. The guy said the 200 ran when he stuck it under the bench. I just gave it a pull on the starter lots of compression. Would not start on prime
The 10-10 Did start and revs and idles great. Put the chains brake flag on. It stops the chain, but does not lock. You have to push It forward farther than what's comfortable to engage it. Will look at it later.

61618 and 65746 cross to National 471551., SKF 5756, single lip. I have always used the National seal.

110260 and 65747 cross to SKF CR6119, CR 6120 and National 253747. CR6120 is a single lip seal. Same seal common the the 3400 Poulan series and the XL-900 series Homelites.

I get my seals at an industrial supply shop or a bearing shop. I think NAPA USA may carry them as well.

 

[rarefish383]

I was going to pull the plug on the 200 and see if it has spark? How do you remove the black plug cover. It looks like it has a pin on one side, does it pivot. I was afraid to stick a small screw driver under it, It's in perfect condition and I don't want to scratch or chip it.

Put up 2 more new shelves, things are starting to almost look organized. Every tine I pulled a saw down to relocate it, I put a shot of mix in it to see if it would fire. i think the Super 1050 took a couple finger tips off, dang those things hurt when they pop back. The Mac 550 is next to come down, it's pretty good at taking off finger tips too.

Thanks fossil! Are these the seals used on all 10 series Macs or are there models that use something different?

It pivots on the rivet.

Drool fuel, more pictures to come, slightly used late model Pro Mac 700.
(Cream Puff ) condition with rare model number.

 

[mogulmasher]

Rarefish that plug cover is probably rock hard now. They can come out kinda hard, but it's pretty rugged. Tough going back in too.

 

[2broke2ride]

Ya, it is supposed to be like a stiff rubber, probably closer to plastic now. I've never actually destroyed one though.

They are common to most if not all the 10 series saws.

61618 and 65746 cross to National 471551., SKF 5756, single lip. I have always used the National seal.

Where does the 65746 fit into the mix? I'm aware of the 61618 and the 67906.

So very late model 700 possibility a rereleased saw , the shop I bought it from originally was a McCulloch dealer and after the micbricks came out and sold poorly for them they got a big banner from McCulloch that said "the 10-10 is back" which were S models . McCulloch gave them 49 saws and told them there would be no more after that and there wasn't. I don't know if this was part of that but I've found other references to this saw in old threads here and online, but very few if any photos. If there's any else you guys want pics of let me know .(and NO ! I'm not taking it a part ).

Wow man set for life if you look after that

Yes and if you mean" taking care of it" as in I will possibly never fuel it then yes!
Seriously though I've got 2 very good running 700s and I might get this one out for a get together, but it's rare (as in model number)to me and it'll be kept from work duty in my possession.
