McCulloch Chain Saws

[knightmax]

Guys, I am looking for some new full house 3/8 .058 gauge chain. I need 14ft. Anybody got some? Seems its hard to find around my neck of the woods. Thanks

"Full House" has traditionally meant a cutter for every driver, the only place I have seen that type of chain recently is on the Milwaukee battery powered chainsaws. "Full Comp" is the more common term for the traditional chain sequence with a space (driver and tie straps) between alternating cutters.

Full Comp - Semi Skip - Skip or Full Skip



3/8 full comp in 0.050 is probably the most common chain size out there but 0.058 was also very popular on Jonsreds and Husqvarna saws, especially those sold in the North East part of the country.

Can anyone here ID the Big Mac in the back? These are right up the road from me and while I don’t really need any more saws but if the big guy is a worthwhile buy I may try to pick up the whole lot.

Looks like maybe an 895 gear drive?
7-10 in the pile too, that's worth grabbing.

Yeah the 7-10 and 55 might be worth the trip.

The direct drive saw is most likely a 1-42, many of those were shipped from the factory without the lower brace.

The gear drive saw in back is probably a 1-85 or 1-86 but could also be an 840, 890, or 895 as they all had the provision for an air vane governor.

1-86


840

The 800 saws normally had an automatic oil pump that operated off the output shaft. The 1-80 models normally did not...but the parts were readily interchangeable.

840 with the automatic oil pump

I'd consider selling a spare SP125 handle for only $400 with free shipping...

I didn't notice that 750evl at first either, that's a cool old echo.

I wonder what that buyer would pay for a NOS 125 chain brake. Ron

Thanks Mark! for the clarification. We always referred to what you show as standard as "full house".

Thank you, but I found some.

Guess I better get at them then. I have cut a fair bit on my 500VL. Certainly wasn't a "muscle" saw but it goes really well and smooth.

The older echos I have are small but you cand definitely tell they were built buy the Japanese at a time when pride in craftsmanship was held in high regard, might been kind of a" we're gonna have to prove we're good " type of mentality at the time.
Definitely well built.
