McCulloch Chain Saws

[serdie]

I signed up over there. I didn't figure out how to search out members , Maybe tomorrow.
About the saw I'm sure I will be asking you guys questions about it's faults and ways to fix it. Thanks ,

To the gentleman who wanted to know which bar to use on the Mac 250. I use a large mount 009 Husky bar in 3/8 .63 you’ll have to open up the slot width about .010 with a dermal or file and I use an 1/8” bit and drill straight down to the oil hole which will let it oil with the stock bar guards

Thats why we are here. Youll find a good running 850 will run with most modern saws with no issue. They are strong runners.

Hahaha hell no im a couple miles to many south

Hopefully the cylinder is good and your on a winner. It could be scored up and Vinny will be your best friend. I see its got an SP bottom on it which is cool I like those. You'll need a chain brake handle. And maybe other bits but luckily the come off a 40 year span of 10 series saws the chip screen needs a couple cableties and a nice bar would go good on it that bar be good for other smaller macs that will no doubt show up.

Maybe run that bar on a 10-10 , or the 700.

+1, that saw can pull a 36" no sweat, at least in softwood. I got lucky and scored a 36" McCulloch bar ~ a week before a member here put a SP81 up for sale, and I was able to pm him about the saw less than a minute after the ad popped up! It was a match made in heaven! Just an fyi, if you have Stihl/husky bars floating around, you could modify one of those to work. I'll be getting or making an adapter so I can run a 28" Stihl bar on my 5-10 should the need arise.

Just thinking maybe wait on that as it may need other brake parts too

I have a 797 on the shelf, I had it running 8 years ago. Real pee pee poor compression.
I never cut with it but heard stories and seen pictures of it when it was in use in the mid 70s. It is one I really want to rebuild, just not the first.
Yes I am definitely enthusiastic. I'm a long ways away from opening a museum

Nice , I have a MCC 28" for it or a couple hard nose bars. If I was to buy a new bar who makes a good sturdy 28- 32" ?
