McCulloch Chain Saws

[promac850]

That's not really a raise. It has a little more stopping power but accuracy and distance just don't compare to the hmr

Well, I have it, no .17 hmr here. I plan on getting one someday.

McCulloch Double Eagle 50

Picked this up the other day for next to nothing. Put in fresh gas and yanked on it a couple of times and it fired up.


Actually not a bad saw.

Even on a little 16" bar? With a ported 850? Wow, I guess 8 pin would be the one to use, then.

With a 16" bar in 12" wood, it'll do it, but you can still stall it. Plus, you'll have to add a link or 2 to the chain, or you'll never get it on. Put an 8 and run it unless you're going long.

How many cc's it that DE 50? 50cc? Or am I yet again incorrectly using numbers of saw models to determine cc's...

So 8 pin will go well with a 28" bar with full comp? I think RandyMac mentioned a few posts ago that he ran a 32" with an 8 pin rim...

Got lots more to learn about saws and rim drives and stuff like that.

Just postin' and learnin'

50.9cc sir. This saw is super smooth man, no vibes at all. Really snappy throttle response.

I see a Devil Beaver in there...

And I thought I had a lot of "merchandise!"

Cool, I'll call it 51cc then. I'd imagine these were among the last of the McCullochs made in the U.S. before they went chi-com Pooplan* style.

Of course, it's plastic, but appears to be very well made to me. Much better looking than a Pooplan* I will have to look for one. CAD... :msp_rolleyes: As I said, any good saw probably will end up in my hands someday.



* Disclaimer: Pooplans are not affiliated in any way to the real metal Poulans of yesteryear... not in any tiny way. Pooplans suck. Wild Things excluded... With a bit of tuning, modifications, and porting, these WT's are surprisingly quick and appear to be quite reliable. Will have to get one someday.

Actually man this saw is an Italian Mac. Built by Alpina/Oleo Mac/Efco. This was in between the North American saws and the Taiwanese or whatever.

I thought at first it was just another plastic saw, but after some looking there is less plastic that I thought. The clutch cover/chain brake assembly are magnesium.


Pretty decent build quality actually.

I stand corrected yet again... still learning here...

I've heard a lot about Alpinas, Oleo Macs and Efcos. I think they all are well made saws. I held an Efco 162 at Menards (yes, I will not buy it here) and it is very light and feels well made. I will get one someday. I want one of these...

Model Profile: Super Pro 120

Who wouldn't want that beast? :msp_love:

I was actually somewhat impressed by this saw, in it's fit and finish and in the way it runs. Has a certain sound to it.

It's kind of large for a more modern saw at 50ccs, but look at my sig, it's probably the lightest ones I have other than the top handles and the Super EZ.

Wow, I bet it's quite different for you to cut with that Double Eagle 50... most of your saws are much heavier! It's nice to get a break sometimes, lol.

 

[ozflea]

Well you'd better wrap ya fingers around an SP125 it will make the 120 look like crap

HI BOB!!!

Thanks for your wonderful resources!

I would bet so, the old Macs are known for their torque. I love torque.

I did not say that Alpina 120 is my dream saw... the Super Pro 125 is my dream saw. Got to save up some serious money to get one though, no job right now, which means money is quite tight. Oh well, gonna have to find some, lol.

I put in my $10 "application" on a 101B 895. You guys know where to look to see it. Hope to read in a few days that someone here had their application accepted. Ron
