McCulloch Chain Saws

[Metals406]

I found this one for sale a few hours from where I'm at, but I can't tell by the picture what model it is so far. I've been sifting thru the list on Acres', but for one it's gonna take forever, and secondly many of the saws are shown from the clutch side only or are just promo drawings instead of photos. Either way I'm going to try to get it for what they're asking, I just have to get a friend lined up to pick it up for me.

Have them pull the air filter cover off, and give you the Mod# off of the little placard in there (if that's where it is on that Ol gal)?

EDIT: The closest match I have found so far is either a Super 44 or 55. Though as stated above, both pictures are from the clutch side so I can't see that tell-tale round protrusion from the top of the flywheel cover.

It looks to be one of these D-36 with center pull start.
Its eather a D-30 or D-36

CAD strikes again: Today's catch, looks to be a Super 33...pics tomorrow (I hope)

I got a nice 250 super last week. It came with a 24"bar and started on the second pull. Flatback Mac carb though ...

Is that the model that takes 3 hands to start? :greenchainsaw:

D-36 with a full wrap bar, pretty cool stuff Cliff...

Roland, Super 250 that starts and runs and you are going to be negative about the vintage carburetor? Worst case you have to spring for $30 worth of new diaphragms and just prime it manually to start it the first time out...nice catch as well.

I haven't added a new saw to the collection all week, yet.

A 640 Gear Drive should be on my doorstep in a week...

My heart goes out to you. I guess I shouldn't mention the 084 stihl or 750 echo that are wending there way in this direction huh? Probably the wrong color for you anyhoo. Why in this new century in America can't we stop seeing color?

Just got an email back from the guy with the old Mac. Apparently it's a D30 - pretty much the same specs and vintage as the D36 you gussed, according to Acres', so I'm not sure what all differentiates the two.

I was very interested in the description of the "automatic" oiler:

"Manual oiler added after initial production. Oil is extracted from the crankcase and is fed to the bar as the automatic oiler but does not work unless the 10:1 oil mixture is used."

Well, ya can't fault the old-timers for not coming up with creative ideas! That sure sounds like a hare-brained one, but it must have at least sort-of worked to make it to production. But how could they pull oil from the case without in effect creating an air leak? I can't see it working for me though - I don't think I'll be mixing 10:1 anytime soon. I guess I could use that saw when the mosquitoes get really bad next year though.

Is that the manual oiler plunger right below the oil filler cap at the front/side of the saw? Crazy impractical place for one to be if so, but apparently it was an afterthought.

Would $40 for this thing in non-running condition be out of line? He says it has spark and isn't seized, but seems to have a carb or fuel issue. Could be as simple as a new fuel line, but it could also mean needing to find an obscure OEM rebuild kit for some rare proprietary carb. I'm not sure what the case would be - I know some old Macs could have either an actual Mac carb, or a Tillotson. If it wasn't such a unique-looking old antique, especially because of the center pull start, I wouldn't be so interested in an old non-runner. $40 doesn't sound ridiculous for a nice collector piece like this, IMO.

PS - love the "muffler" on the one on Acres':

Pretty much a straightpipe for all intents and purposes! Man that thing must bark!

thanks Mark, you are right.

Now, that's a real shame though....:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:
I made a deal yesterday for a 1-10 and 5-10 DSP to be heading my way. I am not really a 10 series fan, but I like to collect the Mac models that have been assembled in Belgium at the time. I also am working on a model that could be heading to Iowa one day...see, we care about our friends !!

Thanks. I just switched the 5-10 over to .404 with an 8 tooth sprocket. That's a nos roller nose bar on it now, thanks to my buddy Dean. I still haven't bought a chain for it yet though. They all run, but some need a little cleaning.

OK.....

I know/knew of a guy in VA that also used "bait" in his online usernames. Wasn't sure if it stood for anything special there, other than fishing.

 

[crankster69]

Sweet pics of your yellow hardware, Bait. Why is the SP125 your fav?

Yeah, that's the goal. I still need one from the 1-80 series, 600 series, and the 800 series.
