McCulloch Chain Saws

No - you said wouldn't.
If you can, doesn't mean you should. Go easy on it!

I got yelled at for trying to run a saw a week after surgery, and both @Syncop8r and the person yelling at me have a point. However, when the resident was telling me it would be 3-4 weeks before I could pick up a wrench and a few more before I could start turning bolts with it I just smiled and nodded.

When I was a builder's labourer I got tendonitis in my forearm from shovel-mixing a large amount of concrete one day. Result: four weeks off work.
When I came back I had 36 pile holes to dig that they were saving for me. If course it flared up again and I had another two weeks off.

Most popular way to injure yourself after surgery is to do too much too soon.

I don't like mincing words.Regardless,I got the go ahead to ease myself back into my routine & do what feels comfortable to me.I pretty much know my body's limitations.,that's why I used a little 30 cc saw.

I've found the medical field to be littered with quacks..So called "drs." that couldn't diagnose a dead dog if one was put in front of them.
17 yrs.ago I tore the muscle in my calf while trying to roll a 42 in.log.I went to the dr.a couple days later & he told me I'd be off my feet for 6 weeks.I told him that wasn't gonna happen as I had wood to split.He told me it'd have to wait.2 days later I was walking 2 mi.to my local restaurant & I was splitting wood at that same time.I despise people who take the easy way out,sit on their haunches because they think that what a dr.says is the word of a god.
Enough of this,let's talk about saw repair!

Back about 3 months ago I had my sdon run a 2x6 across my barn from one hip joist to the other so I could hang smaller saws from it.I had 2 of those cross members run & I figure I can hang roughly 30 saws.Fast forward to now & I cut some metal strips with my circular saw with a metal cutting blade.I fiddled with bending the strips into double J hooks & it worked out pretty good.I'll get some pics after I finish the project toward the end of the week.

I am after some pictures of a 1-70 cylinder including porting. I thought there were some posted on here but I cannot find them. Is anyone able to share some pictures?

 

[heimannm]

This is a 1-71 if that helps.

[matt_lamb_160]

Thanks for that Mark. Do you think the porting arrangement would be the same? I assume it would be as it is pretty consistent with most other 87cc saws.

 

[heimannm]

The only ones that has something remarkably different are the Super 250 and 660 gear drive.

[matt_lamb_160]

Do you have images of the 660 cylinder?

 

[cbfarmall]

Anybody have pictures of the throttle and carb linkages for the SP125? Gathering parts for one. I have a box full of small bits and several linkages but I am not sure which are which.

 

[heimannm]

This is a Super 250, basically the same thing as the 660

Chris - This should help.

A start. Already, I'm thinking my linkages don't match.

 

[cbfarmall]

Working on these 2. The 795 on the left got a rebuilt primer and I painted the top covers which looked like heck. The 890 got the original motor rebuilt and reinstalled. I had put an SP125 motor in many moons ago. Waiting on the PTO side seal and a flatback kit.

Today I got around to fixing the recoil on my PM 700.I noticed back late last winter that it had a missing screw where the cap is held on.I tried putting a newe screw in it,but it wouldn't go in.Upon further investigation,I found that the screw was broken off in the housing.I got lucky today.First I tried drilling it out,but it just slid off the screw & into the softer housing.I noticed that it was sticking up a hair above being flush.I sprayed some Deep Creep on both sides & was able to just grab it with a pair of dikes.It turned right out & I promptly put the new screw in that I'd gotten from mark over 6 months ago.

Does anyone have p/n 214701 "throttle rod seal" in good shape they would part with? Also need 2x starter bushings 57535. Mark?

Inventory say I have them NOS.

Does anybody have pictures or scans of the gearcase gasket and oiler gasket for the 840/890/895 transmission? I cannot get the auto-oiler to work to save my life. Check valves are good, manual oiler works great, and the oiler seems to move oil when I turn the shaft by hand with a little prime. I've cut new gaskets. I'm stuck at this point.

When I was putting it together, I noticed the gasket was missing a pair of holes that lead to the auto-oiler ports. I punched those out and it still wouldn't work. Cut a brand-new and no dice.

Thanks.
