McCulloch Chain Saws

Finished this one yesterday. Other than being super filthy the saw show very little use. I took it down and gave it a good cleaning. I flushe the fuel tank, new lines and filter. I removed the muffler screen and and noticed it was clogged solid. The wire wheel cleaned it up good. I re-built the carb but it just would not dial in. I bought a new HDB walboro and it runs like new. I know these saws get a bad rap sometimes but I like it and I know 2 other guys who bought PM 610s new in '87 and still use them today, and have had not problems. This 3.7 Montgomery wards saw is cool cause you dont see them a lot.

No, not like that you don't. Very spiffy.

Ha ha, I read it just like you meant it. Didnt even get it until it was spelled out LOL.

Jim - I reckon you will discover an automatic oil pump under the cover on the right hand side of the saw. Gear driven oil pump operates off the sprocket shaft so it only pumps oil when the chain is moving.

And the latest...

Fellow AS member manyhobbies informed me that this was was available, I phoned the shop and they agreed to sell it by phone using a credit card. Dan was going to be in the area so he picked it up to hold it for me...that was in May.

I finally had a chance to go his way last week and managed to stop by and pick it up. The saw starts and runs very nicely, the automatic oiler seems to work (chain is wet and throws a bit of spray) but the manual doesn't seem to do anything. Makes me wonder if the oil ring in the manual pump is failed?

All I did was blow it off with compressed air, dressed the bar, replaced the sprocket, and greased the sprocket bearing. Now I need to find some wood to cut. Currently fit with a 24" bar but I may end up replacing that one with a 28" or even 36" since I have them. 36" would be more for show, 28 would be pretty useful I expect. Fact is I have a 28" on my SP60 for my "milling" rig with the 2x4 bracket, should be more appropriate on this saw.

Here it is...

Sweet looking 800 Mark.
I always liked the high air filter on those.

So how do you identify these saws for the proper model # if the numbers don't tell a clear story? It could be one of 2 or 3 different models like the super lg 2 or the 2-10 g and it seems there were one or more others, every thing but the top cover looks original like same shade of yellow and no odd fading between the pieces, so I assume the original top cover was damaged and then replaced with a more common part. It would be great to find a automatic oilier on there and while I have the bar and chain off I will see if it is working. Either way it is a very cool saw and I am impressed with how well it cuts wood. Another cool thing about it that I found out by sheer accident is that a Stihl bar will mount right up, adjuster and oil hole included.

Stihl bars bolt up? Between that, the 3/8" pitch chain, and the swapped tank/AF cover/carb parts.....I'd say that you have a 'custom' saw put together by someone who knew how to adapt and overcome. More detailed pics por favor!opcorn:opcorn:

I will be making a video of it in some red fir tomorrow and will take some more pics and post them. I will bolt up the 20 inch stihl bar I have as the chains that came with it were 72 driver stihl 3/8 chains.

That saw looks nice Mark, I have one here that is low on compression that I hope to go through one day. and it its little brother the 700 as well.

Have not heard anything back on that other saw we talked about the other day:frown:

Mark did you run MOJim's 800 at the GTG? It was a very strong runner. I was impressed with it. Seems like he had a 36" bar on the one and it did very well with it.

 

[homelitejim]

very nice PM800, I have its older brother SP 81 and really enjoy cutting wood with it. I also have a 24 inch Mac bar like yours on mine, but need to find one with bright letters.

Oh crap! A stihl bar on a Mac. I may never be the same. Please don't make me watch a video or see a picture.

Too late...

 

[rwoods]

Be careful, Mark. Those 82cc MACs carry a rare form of CAD; said to be practically incurable. I hope you enjoy it. Ron

 

[jeff76]

Nice 800, Mark!
Wish I had one like it!

I have a Stihl with a Mac bar on it, after some finesse of course.
