McCulloch Chain Saws

[Warped5]

It is very humbling to hear from you guys and it does help. Thanks, Ron

Sorry to hear of your loss, Ron.

Good to have friends around, online or otherwise, at times like this.

Ron, just curious, did you get your carb issue sorted out?

No. I think the consensus was it needs rings too. I thought I would do it all at once. It has now joined my project list all of which are waiting on parts including the kart saw and the SP70. I'll be in Florida all next week seeing to my mother's affairs. Maybe UPS will bring me something while I am away. Ron

Yes. I wish I could meet more of you in person. Met a few at the Oliver Springs GTG last January. It was great to have two guys (AS members) I didn't know come and cut a few chunks off the large oak that tried to kill me. We took them to the GTG. Although I couldn't join in, it was fun watching folks whittle them down. I also appreciated all of the offers of help from AS members while I was laid up. Ron

Yeah, gotta take care of the family first.
Those "project" saws will be there when you get back. Travel safe.

One of the last things she said to me was that ya'll needed some rain. Here we just finished (I hope) a multi-year drought. It was good for me in that it led to a lot of big oaks to cut which led to a larger MAC when let to more MACS, then to an even bigger MAC, then to more big MACs and lots of good conversation on this site. My poor little 036Pro feels abandoned by it all though. Ron

Ron,
My condolences on the loss of your Mom. As you note, even knowing they are in a better place doesn't take away all the sting. My thoughts are with you and I pray for hope and strength during your time of grieving. It sounds like you have many good memories to draw from in remembering her.

This just came in a few days ago. It has good spark and compression.
The fuel tank is clean in side. The oil tank was dry and clean.
It took about 20 pumps with the manual lever to get the
oil to start to flow, It works good now. I have not tried
to start it yet. I think it will need a carb kit, it has a tillotson HL
carb on it.

It is dry, seems normally the afternoon rains would have already started. But its just been hot and humid. Even though your trip down here is not for pleasure, hopefully you can have some fun while your down here.

All very true. Thanks. I was truly blessed with a fine mother.

If I have room, I'm suppose to bring back with me to Tennessee my grandfather's last saw - a little Homie bow saw. Ron

My 1-60 has a very similar chain guard but it doesn't have the handle just the hole for it. Do you make any use of this handle? Seems to be a long reach.

I should be bringing to its new home my second and last bow saw (unless I find my Dad's) - my grandfather's little blue Homie. I don't know the model but it saw a lot more use than his MAC 1-60 probably due to weight. I'll post a shot of it if I have room to bring it back with me. Ron

For me the handle feels fine,I do have long arms though.
The control and balance is way better when you use that
handle. I think its 1/2 inch pipe thread in there. If you got a short
piece of 1/2 inch pipe and a bike grip you would have your handle.

Since the search feature is not fun-ctioning I am seeking some info on a couple of McCulloch saws.

I have a 10-10A that I know nothing about.......except that the compression seems low when using the pull starter and that the air filter definitely needs replaced. Is there a preferred place to access parts for vintage McCulloch saws?? What is the reputation/past history usage of the 10-10??

Also looking at picking up an original owner McCulloch 3-10 saw that seems to be in great shape. Just wondering what the story is on these saws.......home usage I'm presuming.......what kind of longevity and ??? I've already accessed this info;

Model Profile: 3-10

Anything info/parts sources/historic reputation that can be provided would be appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

It appears the search function is still not working. I'm looking for on-line service manuals/IPL's for the 10-10A and 3-10 McCulloch saws that I have. The 3-10 should be a runner after I figure out how to replace the recoil starter rope.

Thanks in advance for any/all info as I'd like to get these two saws operational.

heres where you can find the IPL's
"K&T Parts House Lawn Mower Parts and Chain Saw & Trimmer Parts"

 

[nallac]

why'o'why do all these good saws turn up when I/we have decided to sell house and jump the ditch to Aussie....Just need to dump 3-4K into the house to finish the renovations i've started (and been putting off finishing).Need them all done by Christmas...or sooner if i can find a Job.

That leaves me with no excess chainsaw funds for these.....

Ron, very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, I've been through that one and know how tough it can be. Though we know they have gone to a better place, it doen't mean we don't miss them sorely.

Too cold for croc's this time of year...I've been from Sydney to Melbourne and will venture down to Tasmania before I get to head home on Friday. I have seen a lot of trees and a few saws along the way even though I am officially here on business.

I went to see Terry Titchner on Saturday (go look at my "Australia" thread from last year) and delivered a muffler for a 797 he'd asked for, ended up getting a 73 to bring back with me...now to get it shipped to the good old US of A.

I'd like to post a few photo's but the slow connection here really limits what I can do.

If I ever get home again I will have a long list of projects waiting...

Rescue this saw! They are sick of looking at it!

Nallac, thanks for the heads up. I'll be watching that 550. Way to pristene to be a logger's saw.

That's a real nice specimen Mr Bow saw.

I got its little sister this week, being it a 1-61 gear drive without a bar and bar clamping plate.

Paint is real bad, but it has good compression and runs already.
Notice also that it's a left hand starter, which seemed to the standard for all geardrives sold in europe.

Thanks.
Yours is set up with the sprocket and bar mounts on the
outside.What kind of cover fits on there? I have never seen one.
I also have a 1-60 gear drive straight bar.
