McCulloch Chain Saws

[Eccentric]

Lets see, from right to left. An Echo 451, then the Destroyer 10-10, Echo 602, the girl has a 925 and that goofy bastard has a 660.

The 660 was the third McCulloch I had ever run, starting back in June of 1974, over the next six years, I cut some interesting wood with it. It was my go to saw for the weird and ugly. I rarely gave any thought to how much a chainsaw weighed, only what I could do with it. Back then, I could have a 660 in each hand, run aways uphill and commence sawing. I was a barbaric animal, often went out of my way just to kill something.

Gimme the Destroyer, the girl's Homie XL925, the Mac 660, and that badass International truck! They can keep the old Echos. I've got a 451 that I can't give away...

That truck rocked on a high scale, handled like a sportscar on good gravel roads, power drifts and all. Air sucker Cat, a very slick 5X2 and it was lightweight, well balanced, it was perfect for our application.

It will be fun... IIRC the Snellerizer ported and muff modded a Husky 350... it was able to cut quick... IIRC he was testing it against a bigger saw, Husky of course.

Racing karts... ya'll gonna get me in trouble... I'm thinking about how much fun it would be to have one that is low, but with suspension, and frustrating the cops in a pursuit downtown... 100 mph, in turns too... they ain't gonna have nothing on that.

I think I'm getting to old to go 100 around corners any more or maybe I'm to round witch ever but it would be fun maybe I can talk him into letting me run it

I had a 76 International I used in my business for 17 years.
Came with 345 engine, Later put a 392 in it. Great truck for
hill climbing,not real fast on the highway with the low gears in
there rear end.

Mac 1-50, how the #ell do you get to the starter spring?

I tried to search this site but can't seem to find how to get to the starter sring, which I think broke. Is the shaft pressed into to pulley?

Can anyone point me in the right direction please.


I hope the attached files work

I had a chromed H&S holding claw on my NOS 125c. That saw went to utah.

Been to winlock a few times myself. Found a barn plumb full of old saws. :msp_biggrin:

Hey Smoker, ya been to the World famous Zollo chainsaw collection in Camas yet?

Thanks for the info on Dawgs ( where did the term Claws come from??). Nope on the Zollo collection, But Wayne Sutton has a few saws, and a nice barn to house them in. HaHa. Amboy Wa. just twenty minutes of twisties from my home.
I'll get a pic of the dawgs on my SP80, very big and they don't look like OEM Mcculloch. My you guys can ID them from the pic.

Ron, I'll try to contact the seller, just for grins.

Shaft should be threaded on.

Ooopss... dammit. Saw confusion. :bang: Forgot that McCulloch made a 660 gear drive.

Hes just a cuddly little teddy bear, most days.

Three fingers of something something or a few PBR's will usually save your hide.

If they (either one or both) can't, you probably deserve it.

.

Sutton gave Zollo his first vintage saw some 20 plus years ago.
Now he has one of the finest collections on the planet.

You can see some of his collection at chainsawcollector...se>collections on display> Zolloland

Been to amboy a few times myself.

I might suffer a break down if I ever got to visit a place like that, really nice cliff, thanks for posting the photo's. Everyone there has their own chapter in the Who's Who of chainsaws.

I'll take all the old echo's you don't want. It's funny how people dismiss them till they run them. I'll let you run my CS-900EVL and then see if you tell me to keep the echo's. My newest echo acquisition on its way will make you drool to...Thats all i'm gonna say for now!

 

[promac850]

What? Was I on something? :msp_confused:

You're not hinting on the former idea of shipping a 660 over here, are you?

Forgive me... I'm not the smartest... but definitely am not the stupidest...

 

[promac850]

Looks like I also see a couple of Homelites and maybe a 250. How the heck did you hang onto that saw? It is as big as you are.

It's called being young and having lots of muscle... RandyMac ain't a small guy from what it looks like in that photo.

You are forgiven my son, go forth and sin some more.

Did I mention I won't ever purchase a creamsickle? Too many of them around here... there's a stupid shop nearby full of them... looked at one and laughed at it... it's pathetic compared to a Mac, even any other old iron beast. There's just something about lugging a McCulloch around that I like... makes the back stronger.

That revoke wasn't about the stupid Husky, was it? That's for the wimps in the household that don't have the back I have. Well, shouldn't call my dad a wimp, he's just older... er... more experienced, hence a more worn out back from working on the farm and in the foundry back in the day. Trying to make stuff a little easier for him when I can. I know a 610 wouldn't do him any favors when it comes to bucking firewood.

Wow, either I'm freaking out and trying to cover my slightly overweight ass, or I'm just stupid. Ahh, whatever. I've got my Macs to play with.

what is a creamsicle

 

[promac850]

what is a creamsicle

I deleted that post... :embarrased:

A creamsickle is a Stihl... took me a little while to figure it out.
