It was a 600 series McCulloch

Yes, but which one? Ron

Does it really matter? It's an EagerBearTimberProBeaverMac 6051050 3.7-20!

It's a later thin ring model, that is as far as I could get

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

It's a 10-series tank/carb box/rear handle casting in Target blue colors. I've never seen a 10-series based cutoff/demo saw. I have seen pics of a McCulloch 795 based demo saw, as well as a pic of a front-tank Mac based cutoff saw (probably based on a 250 or 300 Mac). I have no connection to the ebay seller or his listing. Just stumbled upon it and thought it was cool.

The 7-10 was the other powerhead (besides the 790/795) Mac sold specifically for chop saws. I saw one about 15 years ago. I have also seen a McCulloch advertising piece or IPL for the 7-10 & 790/795 powerhead only for chop saws with a couple manufacturers on it, Target being only one of them.

That D196 bar you mentioned has a 3/8" 9.5mm) slot...................just like the large frame McCulloch bars. You won't need to widen it by .5mm. You may have oiler and/or adjuster issues. I've never tried a D196 bar on a large frame Mac. Make sure that the oiler slot doesn't become uncovered by the bar tail as you slide it back and forth through its adjustment range. Otherwise, the oil will just dribble onto the ground instead of get to the chain drivers. That's what happens sometimes when a person runs a D196 mount on a large frame Homelite (F014 mount) saw. Another thing to watch for is that the narrower D196 bar tail can allow the chain rivets to drag on the saw drivecase or clutch cover. McCulloch used to sell a set of spacer plates for large frame Macs when using "slimline" bars. D196 bars are still in production BTW.

The D009 large Husky mount slot is 9mm, and would need to be widened by .5mm as you stated. I don't know how the rest of it (tail width, adjuster holes, oiler holes) will work with the saw. Probably could be made to work. If you try it, keep us informed.


I'll bet that Skil coil has a threaded stud in it (like a wood screw) that threads into the wire core. Get some solid core wire (not carbon resister core) and twist it in place.

Thanks. That definitely gives me some more things to look at!

Belgian has one of the Target Blue 10 Series cut off saws. I saw it when I visited him last year.

On MacBob's site there is a Mac 790 which is mine. It has a Pm690 (the 80's vintage chop saw) air filter on top, due to the original being missing. The saw itself is Cut-All with the air-vane carb. I also have a Target quickie 790, which I haven't done much with....no time.

Not me, trolling for other stuff right now.

 

[leeha]

Not me either, I got enough of them righ now.

Mark, How did you ever make out with the 840
that was suppose to be an 890 you were working on.

[promac850]

895 wasn't me either. Got other stuff I'm working (and spending money) on right now.

 

[briantutt]

wasn't me...all my cash is going into a timing belt change and hopefully not a head rebuild...300K on my Jetta TDI.

 

[Warped5]

"Not I, said the Rat!"

I gifted myself a few weeks ago; no $$ left.

 

[heimannm]

Lee - I was looking for a different block, but that has not gotten very far so I may make use of the pieces I have on hand now and get it back together. I am sure that it will work well enough for my purposes

I do have a couple of the 795 based cut off saws however, the yellow one is branded Stowe and the blue one Target. The yellow one is very low on compression but I have a some parts from J.J. that should allow me to put it back together and make it work again.

If only I had a little more time...

Just messing with you guys as they all look the same to me - as do a lot of other saws but someone here always seems to know and spot some distinquishing characteristic. I'm just proud that Chevy Chase used a MAC although in not quite the same proud fashion as Paul Newman. Ron

You could probably reproduce the necessary tooling so that no MAC would ever be obsolete. If you did, with which model would you start? Ron

 

[heimannm]

BP-1 for starters...

[rwoods]

Really. I would have guessed some large frame saw. Ron
