McCulloch Chain Saws

Do I need to do anything about mag rot?

Depends, is it in a critical place like a fuel tank or case.
Rust never sleeps, and it will usually continue to eat away slowly at whatever it's on.

Bead blast and prime/paint.

What McCulloch saws have you gotten a chance to cut with?

Those promac 610/650 late 70's/early 80's models. My dad has 4 or 5 of them one is a real nice orange color Montgomery Wards saw.

If anyone is in need of the 51396, cover assembly (Item 57) for their vintage top tank McCulloch saws, I have an adequate supply.

So far it's just in the starter cover but I'm sure I'll find more as I break the saw down.

I was thinking of leaving this saw looking well-used but I may end up painting it if it's bad.
The old paint is flaking off as I clean.

I find if ya keep it drowned in oil it stops. No oxygen i guess. Crc seems to work

I agree get off what you can without mucking up the look and keep it oily (even if it doesn't have rot). Fuel tanks are another matter. For them I dig/wire brush it out and JB weld (had to do pretty much all of my front tank saws to some degree, so glad the fronts come off of them). A bead blaster would be easier and better for doing the inside of the tanks, I think I need one!

The bottom of the starter covers can get thin or holes. Just keep in mind that if its thin you could set it down and knock a hole in it, or if it has a hole debris can enter and get into the flywheel which would be exciting.

McCulloch Heaven or Hell?
I came home with the pickup bed and backseat full of nothing but Mac saws and parts, new and old.
My frame of mind right now is, am I supposed to be happy or sad.
The vid is only 21 seconds long but says a lot.

Wow a sea of yellow! Great score.

No joke. It's a strange feeling to run across something like that.

I ask myself the same every time I buy another saw and wonder why I did.

That place looks like a crime scene. Glad that someone is going to save some saws and parts.

Thanks Matt
That little vid didn't do it justice. It is about 4 times more than it look like was there.

Thanks Vinny.
I looks like about 90% are 10 series and 800's plus 850's parts and saws. I think about four 610's, two 2-10's and some 700 parts and saws.
