McCulloch Chain Saws

[briantutt]

It is now an 11 1/2 fins flywheel and Craftsmen has a wrench to replace. Sorry I broke it. :bang: :bang: :bang: Ron

You do know that's a tubing wrench right?

Fixed it for you.

Used parts oops.

Due to a brain fart, I purchased a piston and cylinder from one of the supporting vendors. Excellent shape but can't use it. :bang:It was listed as for a Eager Beaver 2.0.

My reserch indicates they also fit a Mini Mac 35, Power Mac 6, Eager Beaver PM155 or Eager Beaver PM165. 36.5 mm bore.

I'm looking for a piston & cylinder for a Eager Beaver 2014, 36.0 mm bore. DUH!

Chainsaw tinkering has a steep learning curve.

+1 hahahahahaha

I have a question relating to the bad ass Yellow American Hot Rod Chainsaws.

If I'm reading my IPL right the oil tank from any 44, or a 1-71 will fit my 1-70, is that right???

so far as I am aware, it should work.

I don't know, he has been around Homelites, better start with a 10-10.

Where's your nitro saw Randy?

I thought I would post some pics of the 1-70 I picked up the other day. My son-in-law cleaned the tanks, cleaned and set the points, and rebuilt the carb. It's running pretty damn good.

Here a shot of the oil tank, the bottom mounting point is for the spike is missing. If anyone has a good one let me know.

Nice looking 1-70. I sure like those 87cc Mac engines, even though I just sold off 2 of them. Down to 4 in the arsenal...

 

[leeha]

Those 1-70's are nice saws.
Your looks to be in nice shape.
I would think an oil tank would
be pretty easy to find.

I'lll get one up when it's done. I have to order chain for this saw. I have a rim and drum to go on it and a NOS .063 28" Oregon roller nose for it. I'm thinking 3/8 .063 chisel skip with an 8-tooth. Any thoughts? Should I stick with 7? May get both and see what happens. I reckon this should have the snot to haul an 8 pin. My 288 with a 28" and full comp destroys hardwoods (yes, it will out-rev a Super 250 by 3000 or so WFO)...

Actually, I should dig in the box, I think I have an extra 8 that I tried on the 372 and didn't like (until I get around to having it ported).

It's an old McCulloch. You've got a .063g (not a damn .058g like much of the old Mac ones are) RN bar for it. Let it drop both testes. Run a loop of full comp .404/.063 round chisel or square chisel on it. Seven pin rim. If it was a .058g bar and you didn't wanna scrounge up .404/.058 (which is still available, but a bit more scarce and expensive), then I'd say run .375/.058 (with an 8 or 9 pin sprocket) on it. Yeah you may eek a bit more speed with some .375 Square Chisel............but that's not the point here is it...

Nice looking old McCulloch!

I haven't got it in wood yet, the chain was being ground when those pics were taken. The wick in the fuel tank has been cleaned several times but is still a little smelly. I think the top of the tank will come off again tomorrow.

 

[Brian13]

Ahh may favorite part of working on a Mac. 100,000 flat head screws that if they dont strip the screw driver slips and you stab something, sometimes yourself. Havnt had to deal with the wick yet, thats next though.

$499?
They are out there for less, tempted to pick one up.

Yeah but I think this one has never seen fuel!

Just bolt it on the driveside cover. Do you have a set?

 

[Mastermind]

Just bolt it on the driveside cover. Do you have a set?

No I sure don't. I've been studying on this thing a bit, if I had two I could bolt them both together at the bottom with a roller chain catcher.

 

[Eccentric]

No I sure don't. I've been studying on this thing a bit, if I had two I could bolt them both together at the bottom with a roller chain catcher.

You could still do that with your damaged oil tank. Two bolts would be enough to hold things just fine on the tank side. Three bolts (with your roller between both dogs on the bottom) would be fine on the clutch cover/starter side...
