McCulloch Chain Saws

[bob kern]

Not as new, not as nice as Max's SP125 but I picked up and interesting piece of the McCulloch story last week. That's Randy Mac with his hand on the bomb hoist.

My son Jeff spent quite a while today getting it cleaned up.

Hello Mac people. Looking for some guidance. I have aquired a SP80. I am assuming this saw would accept an Oregon D176 Oregon mount but correct me if I’m wrong.

The bar I have is definitely a McCullouch 20” that appears to be D176 mount. I am confused as to how the oil will actually get to the chain though! If I am understanding correctly it oils the chain through the adjustment slot but the adjustment slot is wide open and looks like most of the oil would just run out of the cover. Is there supposed to be a plate to block it on the cover side? Am I missing something here? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Pictures added to assist.

The clutch cover/outside bar plate effectively seals the opening so the oil can only pass through the opening in the groove of the bar. There is a bit of a pocket or reservoir for oil formed between the discharge port and the clutch cover so it may take several pumps of the manual or run time for the automatic oiler to fill it to the point where oil starts reaching the bar/chain.

This evening my heart is heavy. Today we lost an icon in the McCulloch world. Bob Johnson has passed. This was his desk where he helped so many of us with parts....
RIP Bob!
