Have you guys seen this? McCulloch 610 605 Cut Off Saw Attachment | eBay

I'm watching it too. As Yosemite sam would say, "back off!":msp_smile:

LOL - if I wanted it I would not have posted it. Of course I figured every real Mac junkie would have seen it already anyway!

How fitting - a cinder block cutter for a cinder block saw. :jester: Ron

I believe the 600 Series based cut off was sold as a 690.

I have not seen one in person, but I do have a couple of the 795 based units (one Target and one Stowe) and I have had my hands on Belgians 10 Series Target blue cut off saw as well.

Please post the bar #'s. Inquiring minds want to know!


Its a D009 bar mount. It looks like I elongated the two holes for the tensioner pin and may have skimmed the bar stud slot a little(can't remember for sure). This particular bar is a 42" bar for .404 chain bought from Bailey's probably 8-10 years ago. I believe it's a common bar readily available today. Let me know if I didn't answer what you wanted to know.

Thanks,
Jeff

Digging into an oil pump from a SP125, any hints? It was oiling well and then just stopped, manual still works.

Thanks,

I have seen the plungers brake or stick.
Pull the pump and check her out.

Only if they are fat chics or GREEN tractors; sweet saws like that should be seen again. Phones are phones, computers are for AS.

I'm sure most pirates would agree.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hannah helped daddy rebuild the SDC in the Stumpy raffle 10-10A this afternoon. Cleaned the saw a bit more and added the bar plates and grip insert Duke T sent. Starts and runs even better now. Piston and cylinder look great through the exhaust port. Tons of compression. Cleaned off the red paint some numbnuts had sprayed on the good used fuel cap that Duke had sent to replace the cracked cap on this saw. Still finishing that little bugger. It'll look good on the saw once all cleaned up, as it's one of the "Mac in the box" types. Put everything away and went to the mailbox. A box from some Jeff V. character was waiting for me. A brand spankin' new loop of Oregon 73LGX and some carb kits were inside. Thanks my friend!

ARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There ain't nothing wrong with a GREEN tractor... though I don't like the new green tractors, I'll admit. When it comes to pulling heavy stuff or plain being more durable, I'd put my money on a 317 with a Series II Kohler or a Briggs Vanguard conversion over a new X series...

Here's one green tractor that resides in my barn... massive torque with the new Briggs in it. The thing could be a pulling tractor now.

I pulled this across me lawn... it did well at 2/3 throttle. Real easy pulling at full throttle...

the tractor loved the work... kept torquing the front and wanted to pull the wheels off the ground...

In hindsight, I should've painted the red engine shroud John Deere green. Then it'd look factory.


There certainly ain't nothing wrong with the RED ones either!


Oh, and an 850 is headed my way soon. Supposedly seized up. We'll see how bad it is when it gets here, and after I have room for a saw to be torn down completely.

CAD!

No my friend, this is a real GREEN tractor..

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR....

Somebody call that a "pulling tractor"?

Agree. Those remind me a lot of my 800 in the cut. The 125 is more like an old JD830 - not much scream but tons of torque. Ron

I wanted to give a public thanks to Steve for sending the aluminum discs for the oiler check valves. They look great! Thank you very muck.

Ran a couple of tanks through Betty (SP125C) today cutting up the remains of a 40"+ poplar. She's certainly a young man's saw as she will take everything I can give her. The thick bark made me appreciate the big west coast dawg she wears. The main forks of the old tree was about 6' across. I chunked these up with the 800. Sorry no pictures as I outwitted the paparazzi this morning. Seriously, I can't cut and take pictures. I was told that the season's load count was hovering at 450.

Quick MAC trivia question: Why do tool-tightened non-lubricated things loosen and fall off while hand-tightened lubricated things require a tool to take off? :msp_confused:

CPR, you got it. Our large tractor for a while was a JD730 electric start. 389 cubic inches of pure two cylinder torque. My grandfather gave it to my father when he upgraded to a 4020. My dad swore it was a better performer than any modern 70hp tractor when it came to pulling a disc. The rated rpm was only 1100. He had it overbored when he rebuilt it at somewhere around 5000 hours. I don't recall the resulting displacement but we kept the pistons as doorstops. What amazes me about the old tractors is that the JD830 stood as the Nebraska test hp per gallon king for years and years until the Japanese compact utility tractors were imported. I know the new tractors have more system load but the old tractors still had power steering and some auxiliary hydraulics. The electric start 730 used war surplus 24 volt starters on a 6 volt system which meant four 6 volt batteries; my dad hated the set up so before school one of us would have to go with him to pull it off to start it. If schedules or field conditions wouldn't allow this, he simply let it idle all night long. More similarities with the 125, my 125s idle so much better than my 800s and seem less thirsty making their power. Ron

Answer to the trivia question: It's a McCulloch. Really, I dunno why they do that. Seems to be the same way on my Macs as well.


As for my 317 not being a real green tractor, ya'll mistaken.

When I have to pull that trailer out of the rut it's in, that will decide whether a bigger tractor is needed or not...

Pulling tractor? Sure, if there's a stock garden tractor pull... however, I've never seen one.

And tractor pulling a sliding weight drag is different from pulling a dead weight trailer, like the trailer of rounds I pictured.

Either way, I would never trust a task like what I did to a newer JD X series or worse yet, a Home Depot special JD tractor...

If I had my neighbor's pulling tractors, you'd be surprised by them things... I'll see if there's just happens to be a video of it on youtube or elsewhere. Never know. And my neighbor said the guy that bought them from him still runs them.

I wonder what happened to the lawnmower races they used to have on TV?

I'm sure they're still happening. Just not the 'in' thing for TV viewing anymore.

anyone got a source for the 0.5" and 0.75" welch plugs in a flatback? I can find them in steel, not alum. I'd rather get the carb clean... really clean... since I'm tearing down and rebulding. If I can't find the expansion plugs, I won't pull 'em

thanks
