McCulloch Chain Saws

[rwoods]

I have also thought about simply cutting off the big socket from a S***l scrench so it will clear the handle bars on the PM800 and make it more useful at adjusting the bar. Why and how I got several S***l screnchs I don't know. Neither do I know what the small socket fits on a S***l saw but it does fit a small MAC bar nut and the srewdriver end is pretty sturdy. Ron

On a serious note, has McCulloch ever made a trimmer attachment for the saws?

Seriously, yes. They produced attachments for both the 33/35 model saws (54 cc) and for the 200/250 saws (80 cc).

While I would love to add them to my collection, I don't think I'd ever have the never or the back and shoulders for that matter to strap one on and try to use it.

I have seen a 1-41 with a trimmer attachemnt and a Homelite 5-30 (correct model #?) as well. Does seem a bit overkill to me, too. Can only imagne the look on your neighbor's face using your Super 250 powered weed eater nowdays.

Now that I think about it, it is quite convenient with a ratchet. Spins the bar nuts off a bit quicker.

I was going to take the extension problem into consideration when making the scrench... now that I think of it, it'd be a PITA to turn the adjustment screw with a scrench, as the sockets would be hitting the bar all the time.

I'll have a little kit of the sockets I need, and the extension, as well as the screwdrivers.

Thanks for the insight... I would've been kinda frustrated after welding up something as useful as a paperweight...

Hey shop boy! Get enough saws and you can work on them in your shop instead of the forest. Never, ever go to cut wood with only one saw, even if its a trusty ol Mac. Note I never said carry them all to where you are cutting, or to use 6-7 when one tank of fuel the one in your hands will do the job, but I may chew out a saw in the woods, usually do not fix them there. Helps with the adrenaline breakage/throwage deal also...
Welding paperweights isn't a bad deal, making paperweights out of saws sent to you is another matter.

I will have to check the ones I have... I am not sure if they have the right size socket.

I would love to run a Super 250 powered trimmer... Ain't gonna bog that thing down in nothing...

Just for chits and giggles, I may end up making some kind of adapter for the clutch on the 610 and taking one of the trimmer driveshaft/tubes and rigging up a bracket for it... 60cc FTW!!!

If I ever do that, I will make a thread on it...

It fits Husky bar nuts so you can help your "friends" out. Actually it fits most other saws. Have one on my workbench and use it more on lawnmower plugs than I will ever use it on them creamsickles I own.

AYE AYE SIR!!!

Two is one, one is none...

I promise the 790 won't be a paperweight. It will take a little longer to get it set up and running, as I gotta scrape up a few parts for it, unlike the 850, which came with almost everything I needed.

Again, I ask if anyone has a parts 790/795 that can be a donor for hardware, tank assembly, oiler, etc.

I would be interested in working out a deal of some kind for said parts/parts saw.

Right! Less typing, more digging. The parts are out there for the taking if you're looking. I got held up by circumstances beyond my control, don't make me finish the hot-rod before you're done with that stocker...

While we all may gripe from time to time about the price that a particular MAC saw brings, this ought to help us keep a perspective that certain items are in high demand.

$202.50 plus shipping. I lost interest at $50 but I planned on using it. Ron

While I am thinking about it, I did recently get a McCulloch watch (10 Series), a lighter (rather small in size), and most recently a "fob".

Mark

Cool, looks like a Power Mac 6.

The Mini Mac ones didn't hold the ties on, or broke right away, or wound up in a corner somewhere.

Anyone know a online site that would have fuel lines/fuel filter for my Mac Super 44?

been awhile since I looked, but isn't the fuel filter the big felt bat-wing in those? Try chainsawr.com or ebay, they pop up from time to time or call Discount Marine in Bark River, MI.

 

[heimannm]

The OEM fuel filter for the Super 44 is a large felt pad in the bottom of the tank. Now that is real wool felt so it will absorb water and let the fuel pass through. One old McCulloch add showed them pouring sawdust and Coke into a fuel tank and said "don't try this with just any old saw..."

The fuel line is nothing special, just find something that fits the barbs already there, probably 3/16" I.D.?

Hey I saw that somebody bid on Axeman's SP125. I am going to take full credit for that. I will have to send him an email and find out what his commission schedule is, lol.

 

[rwoods]

I got outbid on the 64" bar and chain last night. I hope someone here got it. Ron.

Thanks for the help guys!

Was that one a roller tip?

Actually it was a 3/8 sprocket nose. I thought it would go cheap as a result, but I was too cheap as usual. Ron
