McCulloch Chain Saws

Sp60

dieselsmoke, thanks for the info. How does she run? Per Acres, an SP60 is between the 10-10S and the 70/700. I have a SP70 waiting for me to find the time to put it together. At one time I was going to collect an example of each SP but was put off by the SP40* and the fact there are three 82cc SPs. I guess I'll leave the true collecting to the true collectors.

* I assume the SP40 is a rebadged PM510 - my first saw. While the 510 was a screamer and with the 1/4" chain it would spank a lot of bigger consumer saws, it had too much plastic for me at the time, was too hard to start and had a recoil cover setup that wouldn't stand up to the constant yanking. In short, I don't think I would ever want another.

Engine Size

Hello Fellow Mac Users

I have a Timberbear 600134-14. Puchased in 1998. Im not sure what size engine this model has. My Manual doesn't state any Engine info. She runs great for never having any service work done. Serial No. is 11-041006 if thats important.

 

[GrizzlyAdams86]

Another yeller one followed me home...




(But now I have 3 running Macs!)

This one came into the local saw shop along with a "cinder block"-series saw (don't remember excatly what model) awhile back. Wanted $100 for it, so I traded him a clapped-out Husky for it and he knocked the price down to $65. I might be able to try it out tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

 

[joeymt33]

I think all timberbears were 54 or 55 cc. The other 610 and 650 was 60cc. Someone else will let you know for sure

 

[rustycar22000]

I believe somewhere before I read 55cc but cant remember now. Lets go with that

 

[Eccentric]

Where the hell did I say that the 600 series cinder blocks were the best design?

I simply love it because I used it instead of a hand powered bow saw to cut up firewood before I got the 850 and the nice Macs that I have been lucky enough to acquire/be given. I'd rather hump that cinder block, can of mix, and oil up a hill and back down than carry a light little Christmas tree bow saw to cut up a 20" diameter log...

My nearby Stihl/Echo/John Deere dealer did not have Tilly repair kits for the following Tillys... the HL63E, and the HL87C... anyone know where to find these kits or if there are kits that are shared between these and other Tillys, or if a diaphram is usually all they need to bring them back to life?

One Tilly is for the 250, and the other is for the Super 44A whose Mcroundback, with the throttle and choke shafts are seized up.

Yep, I'm throwing a Tilly on the Super 44A... the HL63E to be exact.

Easy sm. You're getting touchy about the cinderblocks again. That subject has been beaten to death here. He didn't say that you said they were the best design. Read slower. Think. Then post.................maybe. He said that the SP saws were McCulloch's best design......and said (with appologies to you) that he wasn't a fan of the "made in Mexico" McCullochs. That's all. Cut the caffine out. Too many energy drinks ain't good for anyone..........................especially a youngster who's grey-matter is still growing into his body. Take no offense....................you're at one of the stages in growth where the body's (and mind's) capabilites outpace the development of common sense and maturity. Hapens several times from age three through the 20's (at least)...:jester:


I'm very impressed with almost everything about my SP-81. Excellent design. I like that big tin shield/inner bar plate design for several reasons. I'm not a fan of intake boots, but these seem to be more robust than most. I wish my saw had been built with the fully adjustable SDC or HS carb (instead of the fixed H-side SDC). Seems to run fine as-is however. May swap on a fully adjustable carb at some point. Not a high priority now however.

Yeah... since I have decided to take off work for a while to get stuff done around the house, and since it really isn't busy there anyways...

I will be out every or at least every morning next week applying for jobs at auto dealerships, etc. I should be able to get stuff done in the afternoon as well. Figure on 2-3 places visited and applied at each morning that I go out and do so.

If that doesn't follow through and no one hires me at a shop full time, I'll be back at school and working at the shop where my dad works.

Yep... caffeine does mess me up a little bit. Apologies for that.

Sorry about me making a smart ass post, dieselsmoke.


On a separate note, I did find an old thread (thanks Google) here that was about rebuilding Tilly HL's, featuring our beloved Gary, owner and CEO of GaryGoo Oil and Petroleum Products Incorporated LLC... one member mentioned the RK89HL kit will work on HL63's... so I will get one tomorrow if possible.

Warped, your 250 barked on prime... just as it was supposed to. It won't pull gas, I replaced the too short fuel line and clamped it good, but the nipple on the tank doesn't have that familiar ridge to hold the line... isn't it supposed to? Anyone know? I figure it might have an air leak there.

Either that, or the carb needs a rebuild, or the lever set properly, etc.

Does anyone know if the same kit for the HL63's will work on the HL87's? I at least would like a kit in stock for that good HL I pulled off of the 1-43 broken rear handle saw. Figure I might use it on another saw.

First thing in the morning is breakfast... then I gotta replace the exhaust on my brother's CR-X... the muffler rusted out, making it a loud ass little car. He don't like it though, so a new exhaust from the cat back was ordered. I love how good parts for these things are dirt cheap.

The Mad Max rolled over 175,000 just a couple of days ago. Still hauls ass and screams to 5,800 rpm... I think it's just starting to break in that L24E... it's a shame the body will be gone before it hits 200,000 miles. Seems to run stronger every time I drive it.

Oh, something very interesting... the Stihl dealer did not have any HL numbers before 106... WTF? Is it the program they use, or the parts supplier? That's just plain weird. They should have every kit.

I will check with the other shop nearby... that guy runs the place old school... I ask every time I go in about saws... still claim to have nothing to do with them... but I know better... That barn has a loft. That loft probably has old saws in it. Those old saws probably want to run again.

Yep, I've had way too much caffeine...

If you (offer is only for Eccentric) need an SDC fully adjustable carby for that 81, holler. I has one laying around.

What are you making it public for then?

Go cut a tree

 

[promac850]

Go cut a tree

It saves space in the pm boxes.

Not the first time it's been done.


No trees here to cut. Only ones that are wanted to be dropped are in a downtown area, with power lines running through it, and branches hanging over the house. They'll give you the tree for free, as free firewood. I ain't going out there to mess with something like that... it ain't worth it.

I do have to see about a buddy of my dad's... he lives out in the sticks, and has said that if we need trees to drop and cut up for firewood, we are welcome to visit and do so.

Meanwhile, I want to get some saws running first... especially the Super 44A... and there will be some pictures after she's all cleaned up and barking at trees... it'll be a fun saw... that's for dang sure.

Hopefully I'll have a new DD little pick em up truck around then too... such as a Ranger or Toyota... then I'll put some helper springs on, and load up the saws, drive through the woods, and get some firewood. The Mad Max ain't gonna hold up much longer.

Heroze thanks for the tip. I still fight the computer when posting pics.
Aaron, thanks, you pretty much wrote just what I was thinking. About Kyles unnecessary comment.
Hey Kyle, I owned a cinder block for probably 8 years and processed about 3 cords a year with it. I ran it like I hated it and it always came back for more. A great saw to have around when your brother-in-law comes asking "can I borrow??". And the auto oiler didn't work from day one.
Grizzly, Nice PM700, Another great performer from the 10-series. Tune that baby up, and put a good chain on it!!!

10-10 ?

I am approaching reassembly on the 10-10 Auto. On all four IPLs I have there is a seal shown between the two teflon washers that are between the flywheel and points cover. I doubt the saw I have has ever been taken apart and that seal is gone, can't find it on internet search? Does anyone know if they ever built 10-10's without that seal? Is it felt?

The stihl dealer near me stocks rebuild kits at least for the HL63 series, direct from stihl, but spendy ($30!). Part number is 0000 007 1057. One sticker on the bag has a "A" after the number. The stihl dealer here is an older gent who knows his saws.

dieselsmoke-thanks. It's got a loop of safty chain which is going bye-bye soon. Might put a 24" bar on it but I may just leave the 20" it so it fits in the box on the 4-wheeler.

Who got that CP125 the other day off feebay?? I emailed the seller a question and it was gone by the time I got around to checking again.

Got any video of that super 44a?

Not yet. The exhaust situation on the CR-X has proven itself to be one of those all day and some of the next day fabrication projects. I had to fabricate a flange for the cat, so I can bolt the new mid pipe on. The dipweed that worked on it last cut the flange off of the back of the cat, and welded a pipe on. That went to a muffler, which rotted out not too long ago, turning a little car that sounded good into a lawnmower. The muffler pipe is supposed to bolt onto the mid pipe, but they welded that all together as well. Probably some cheap ass muffler shop that did the work. Half assed in, half ass parts, which most are rusting bad already, and they sure know how to make stuff a PITA for someone like me. My new fabbed flange is 1/8" plate, doubled and edge welded to match the 1/4" plate flange thickness that is on the new mid pipe. Had to cut a hole with a torch (used neighbor's torch) grind, file, grind, and file more for a snug fit, check proper orientation, etc. and got about half of the welding done. Yes, just the fitting of the flange took most of the day. I think I'm gonna get a die grinder sometime soon... :bang:

Overall, it ain't too bad. Got to use the Hobart some more, as well as the grinder, etc.

Should be done tomorrow morning.

Afraid the Super 44A will have to wait until Monday for a carb kit. On the way back from applying for auto tech/mechanic/grease monkey jobs, I'll pick a couple of the kits up. I just learned more information on what kit I need to acquire... (GrizzlyAdams' post) and shops ain't open tomorrow. Not to mention it really needs a good cleaning before I even bother to slap a nice clean Tilly in. If you saw the pictures a few pages back, it looks like that, only the carb and hockey mask cover have been pulled. I can clean it up and install a new fuel line, etc. tomorrow though, given I have some Tygon fuel line on hand.

I'm an expert at getting knee deep in projects, and slowly clubbing each one down until they're done. Just the way I work.

Loving the TD-9 and SP-80 'at work' pics Brad! That a B. E. blade on the TD-9? I spy IHC Red peeking out from under the yellow. Saw a nice yellow painted TD-14 working in a field yesterday.
