McCulloch Chain Saws

[RandyMac]

Rowdy saws for rowdy men.

Even MarkH found himself waving a longneck, during a discussion.

Thats too bad HeRoze, looks like it would have been a good project!!

 

[RandyMac]

Since you have it in bits, put another motor in it. Maybe you will find the oomph to use it.
I was a puny 6' 1" 175 when I used the monsters.

Do you live in the Yeagar Creek Drainage?

these didnt come with a clutch cover ?

They did, looks like a tin ashtray. Most didn't survive. Mine has one that I've knocked off probably a dozen times in the shop, but it's never come off while cutting. Weird...

You do know that this Bow Bar will only mount on a Gear drive.

I'm bow bar ignorant, but why couldn't you move the spur to those other 2 holes and flip it over for direct drive? Is the tensioner "one way"? Just curious.

Here's some pics of the 450.

Mr Bowsaw, I'll trade you a roadkill 'possum for it.

The oil passage hole that is cast in the bar holder would be upside down.
No oil would reach the bar. The clutch cover would never fit back
on the direct drive macs.

Make sure you BBQ it first.:msp_w00t:

I'll raise him a possom, and a ringneck phesant. Possom BBQ'd and the phesant fried.

Add a baked tater and some PBR with that and you have a deal.:hmm3grin2orange:

Gotcha, thanks!

Oh well, roadtrip! Looks like I get to meet Cliff finally! haha

1-76 1-86

Any thoughts on adding a 1-76 or 1-86 as an occassional weekend working saw? Power output would approximate a 795/895 or 105??? Ron

Cliff, the block may be stamped 450 but the crank case side cover and the flywheel cover are from a super series engine like a 700 or some such beast. That one came from some saw with a right hand starter.

If you don't have a better use for it, I am sure I could find it a suitable home...

Are you asking if you should get one? Dont think you would get an unbiased answer:msp_flapper:.

Ron, I have a 1-85 that I love to run, I love the sound of it and with the 2:1 gear box it will cut pretty fast. It it too heavy to be very handy for a lot of limbing, but for blocking up a trunk it would be a great saw.

I only have a 1-70, 1-71, and 1-85 so far so I have a number of saws in that family to find still.

Gentlemen, I like the styling but if they offer no real performance then I'll just keep dreaming. As you probably know I have a bunch of 82cc "lightweights" and a 125C so any new to me fun saw would need to fit performance wise between the two. I don't need a stump saw (I'll leave that work to someone younger) and I would only be using it for fun to buck some bigger stuff and to remind myself of some of the sounds of my youth. I love the 125 but it doesn't quite have the sound I grew up with (early to mid sixties saws). I could fix up my 1-60 - I would get the sound but my little MACs will get the same job done quicker and easier. Ron

HeRoze bought it, I will be sending it out tomorrow.

I got my shed cleaned up or most of it. Added another room to it.
I still have something to send to you.:msp_biggrin:
