McCulloch Chain Saws

[edju1958]

I sure hope they turn up. I assume the cops got word out to the local pawn shops??

One of the 1st things they did after I filed the report.

I love that photo with the three McCullochs sitting on the log deck. The big one in the center, that is a 795 or 797, or maybe 125 ? And the one on the left, is that an early (sixties?) 10-10 ? I don't recognize the one on the right, but looks like it has a chain brake, so must be a newer saw, is that correct? What a GREAT picture

Sp81 left, center sp125 (maybe tricked out), and a pm800 right side.

Thank you Vinny

Good info Mark , but it just seems like a giant heat sink under the motor lol , the 850 exhaust is a definite plus and performs better in my experience, Its a strong saw ,

Also makes it much easier to hear the tune.

I honestly feel they were band-aiding a late 60s design in the 80s. The 800 should have been an entirely new saw. It stopped the fires. It got quieter

I'll say this though. The 800 with either exhaust but definitely the duct style is a weapon. I feel it has slightly better high RPM power over the 850. A 24 inch bar situation I think it quite possibly is faster. Put the 32 on "which the 800 also pulls absolutely fine" the 850 seems to have a little more something at holding off that stall. That last little ahhhhh.

All 3 i have are absolute dragons. The favourite still is the 81. I love that saw. The balance. The power. The sound. Its just lovely in the hand and a real joy as a felling saw

I use my 800 with a 28” bar and an 8 pin sprocket. I have revamped the exhaust considerably and it can now breath better. I’ve heard that you can use a sp81 exhaust on the 800. Any truth to this?

The lower brace (bottom of the rear handle) on the PM800 saws will accommodate the duct from the SP80/81 or PM850 models but not vice versa...the PM800 muffler will not fit on the 850. I don't know if the lower brace on the 80/81 models will accommodate the 800 mufflers.

Bobby Framke's PM800 with an 850 muffler. The mufflers from the SP80/81 models are more rectangular at the outlet, the 850 is the "5 sided" version.

Yup , nice that it just bolts on without having to do any mods.

Updated on a very old post. I had a 10-10 with a busted tank top. I had always wanted to know if the jb weld would stand up to fuel and I'm sad to report it did not. I didn't really expect to it to but was hoping. I always plan to just replace parts when I can ( and this one has been replaced thanks to an awesome fella on here) but there comes those times when you simply can't find a needed part and a saw becomes a parts saw. JB is an awesome product which has saved the day many times, but constant fuel contact is apparently too much for it.

JB weld does make a product that is indeed fuel resistant.Its much different than the standard version,I had no luck myself with regular JB on a crankcase half side near the left side fuel tank for a Husqvarna 2100 that had some chain rash by previous owners....

A well known & highly respected mechanic,saw restorer,hot saw builder/racer by the name of Mike Nolen from northern california has demonstrated its use a few times in the Modified Saws & McCulloch Chain Saws North America forums on Facebook.Like Rich Dougan/Saw King/West Coast Muscle Saws,I take pretty much everything he says to the bank....both guys are the real deal,not just some clueless wannabe phony mechanic on You Tube who just wants their view numbers to increase,along with their fame.
