McCulloch Chain Saws

[HeRoze]

Yep, when MM hinted that I'd better go back to hanging out in the Mac thread, I realized I'd better shut up...

"hinted?" yea, he's subtle that way.

"hinted?" yea, he's subtle that way.

He sure is...

Warped, this is the big Mac mount... fits the 250, 790, 1-76, and other Macs of that size/vintage.

So, as you can tell, this has been freshly pulled off of a big Mac. A 250, to be precise.

No, I am not selling the 250... it's reserved to another member that found it near me, and I am going to be sending it to him after his War Department cools down about what may arrive this week... well, two whats.

Good night folks, got work in the morning.

Man, I'm having so much fun stirring the #### pot over in the Poulan Thread... :jester: Kinda like when RandyMac (Sir Emperor the Great) #### all over the Homelite Thread... :hmm3grin2orange:



While I'm at work, I'll ask a guy a work with if his buddy who has 4 Bridgeport Mills happens to have a machine that can with reasonable precision, bore the 790 cylinder.

I'm thinking if that guy has 4 Bridgeports, a bunch of huge ass 5+ hp wire wheel buffers, etc. that he may have a machine shop...

We'll see. Hopefully I remember to ask him tomorrow.

Bad monkey! No poo flingin! Those poor Poulan dudes are just like those that hang over here, a once great name now slapped onto plastisaws. It's best to not prod a whole lot, a little heckle here and there will do. Bragging after some head to head cutting is a whole different story. Purely justifiable and likely better received. Of course this assumes you beat them, so back to the bench and keep practicing sharpening chains!

On the machine work, a good machinist should be able to bore your cylinder on a Bridgeport if nothing else is available.

Hey, don't worry, we Poulan people can take care of ourselves because we are on the side of righteousness.:msp_biggrin:

Now I don't visit here very much as I have only a few Macs (and most of those were made in Germany) but I would like to thank heimannm (Mark) for sending me some great CD's full of McCulloch service data and IPL's. Boy they sure made a lot of Macs!

Anyway, I fear I am being sucked into this underworld of yellow that I swore I would resist. On the weekend I went to a swap meet and I actually paid money for a a Mac part. This NOS bar of about 23" was $10.00 and I figured would clean up nice and look fine on one of my 250's or even on a something bigger. Yep I think I will save it for one of those SP 125's that everyone seems to talk about.

Mark, you have a lot to answer for.

Al.

Yes, but you are starting to smell up the shop with all this #### stirring. A little goes a long ways over there, as I have found here BTW.

Yep, when MM hinted that I'd better go back to hanging out in the Mac thread, I realized I'd better shut up...

Exactly. Knock it the hell off shop monkey. You've been warned about this before. Some of us are Homelite, McCulloch, AND Poulan nuts.................and don't need the bridges burned by a knucklehead youngster that hasn't figured out what to do with his dingus yet (aside from bragging about it). I've gotten into a scrap or two with a couple of the Poulan boys. They're the most grumpy of the three groups (even more so than some of us)........................I think it's because of all the yahoos with their "pull-on" nonsense. They are a good group for the most part, and don't need you pissing in the pool. Now go clean the toilet and haul the dead tractor batteries to the recycler. You've been too busy ####ing around in the Green shop, and have neglected your duties here....

The Saw Mafia will find you....go Team Yellow

 

[promac850]

Hey now, I was not calling their saws "pull-ons"... hell, I never even called the 2150 I used to have that name, even though I kinda hated it. My neighbor called it that, but I didn't adopt the name, I respected the saw for what it was... something that makes firewood duty a lot easier. I knew it needed something, but I was too little knowledge at the time about saws in general, and of what it needed, and how much it'd cost me. So I sold it for 40 bucks.

If I had tossed it into the trash or thrown it against the wall and beat it to pieces with an 8 pound sledge, then I'd say I deserve to be beat to a pulp by the Saw Mafia... but since I did not do any of the above, I think I'm supposed to be in the green, or at least yellow... (no pun intended)

Shop Monkey is working on scraping the poo off of the walls in the Poulan shop. So far, I'm about 82% done... yes, using my tooth brush...

Hell, RandyMac could find me if he wanted too... that crazy guy is quite... scary... I'll have to find a case of PBR to use for an emergency treaty/white flag deal... don't need some dude with a neat hat stomping my face into the ground...

BTW, I am (and have been for the past week, as you probably could tell...) all hyped up on caffeine... that #### really changes me, similar to how booze does for some... more talky... but more worky also. I get twice as much stupid stuff done in the same amount of time here at work. (shift ends at 3:30, so don't start punching me for 'not working'...)

Bridges burned? I thought I burned almost all of them some time ago... Figured the 790 would be the last project I'd get as a freebie from here. Were you all really thinking up stuff? I know RandyMac has something planned...

I excel at repeated failures... I learn easiest from hands on (beating the #### out of me would be too hands on... so let's not go there...) visual is good too. Sometimes I just can't shove an idea into my brain. Not that much room in there, I guess.

Next time I start up, pm me and tell me to stop, before I go too far... pm's from MM, RandyMac, Eccentric, Wendell, and some others will be taken more seriously than one from someone I don't know or someone with a low standing... when MM said something, I realized he was getting a little bit worn down, or so my feeble brain thinks.


Back to Macs... Lenny was very, very happy to receive that bottle of Black Velvet... so it may be possible that more Macs (and other color saws) will be brought into the barns sometime soon...

===Kinda like when RandyMac ===

Hey man, I don't know RM at all. I only have opinion based on pics posted here. But only based on that, you haven't earned the same rights that he has... and neither have I for that matter.

Yep... you're right. We shouldn't piss around until we are allowed to do so.

RandyMac, I failed again. What now?

 

[wendell]

What now?

Al, my master plan is to get everyone collecting McCullochs of every sort, get tired of it, then offer me their entire collections for pennies on the dollar.

I am also hoping that Cliff will adopt me so I can inherit at least a small scrap from his magnificant collection.

Super 250 carb part number

Hi all,
I'm not exactly new to the site but I only posted one other time. So I guess technically I'm still a newbie.
I was given a very nice Super 250 about a month ago and find that it needs a carb rebuild. I found the info for Sugar Creek supply, and their "Mac 9" kit. My dilemma is, I don't know if this kit will work for my carb. I did send them an E-mail them on this but haven't heard anything yet.
According to S.C.S. the carb they used for the kit development had a "Mac 9" stamped in the air horn flange. Mine has a "Mac 1" stamping. So what I'm hoping, is that one of you fine Gents might be able to tell me how to figure out what year the saw / carb was made, and possibly the carb part number. S.C.S. is posting carb part numbers that their kit will fit, but I don't have any way of knowing what my carb part number would be.

The saw Model number is: 600100, and the serial number is: 12-18053.
Guess it would help if I told you it is a Flat Back carb.

Thanks
Bob.

 

[heimannm]

The SCS kit will be correct for your saw if that is the original carburetor or a direct replacement for one. I don't have a Mac 9 shown in any of my carburetor books but I would say with 99% certainty that is the one you need.

I have used several of Joe's kits and they have worked fine for a number of different saws.

Mark's correct the SCS flatty kit is just the ticket (if I remember right, my S250 has the MAC 9, as well). Where in SE MI are you? If you need a hand, let me know, we'll figure it up. It'd be good to have a fellow yellow fever sufferer around. 4 more weeks and the tractor pulling stops... that means karty-saw time. I miss spinning the wrenches and flingin' the chips. Can't wait for fall...

Started off with 5 or 6 Huskies and 1 Mac, now have more Macs than anything else...except only 2 run. Have 3 that with a little work can be back to 100% "when I get around to working on them".

Bridges between the different brand-specific enthusiast's groups. It's all about the networking. You have much to learn, oh shop monkey. NO MORE brand bashing or "#### stirring" from you....

Hey, I am feeling the love already! You Mac guys seem to be kind of OK after all. McCulloch saws are everywhere down here and if I start collecting them now I will have to build a whole new shed. I managed to refuse them for years and I even gave up the SP 105 I got to a real collector a couple of weeks ago, but I feel I am being drawn to something 125cc. And I have been having dreams about gear drives lately - yellow ones. I managed to avoid a nice 895C that followed me home the other day -who is going to pay $25.00 for one of them anyway?

Now a fellow in town rings me up and says he's got some 250's and 650's he wants to get rid of. I do not even know him but I guy I bought a real saw (Partner 650) from gave him my number. Boy, I must be getting dumber, not smarter because I am going to give him a ring. Help!

Al.

895C?? I think I may wet myself...
