McCulloch Chain Saws

[promac850]

what is HD? you talking grade 8?

At least. It'll be the best of the best. Well, maybe not ARP grade, but it'll be good nonetheless. I might put some or all of the completed kits into the old mag trade thread, depending on how much it all costs in the end for the socket cap screws, lock nuts, washers, and how much time it takes to make those extended pointy tits.



...That sounded really dirty...

Marlin Perkins here ... that's a common sparrow, not a tit(mouse) ....

Well, I ain't a bird expert. I can tell a Downy woodpecker from a Redheaded nail pounder, but when it comes to titmouses and sparrows, forget it...

This is what you'd find doing a tineye backsearch...

wth are you talking about? I think everyone would be safe using a standard bolt where you have the choice of grades 2, 5, and 8 in steel. then stainless 18/8. Stainless stretches. as you go up in grade, you go up in hardness (but also brittleness). In SAE the standard grades hold virtually everything in the world together --- barring some titanium stuff ship-board.

heres a better pic of the out side of the unleaded250 , like mark had said that it was a throttle setup for a brush cutter. that would explain the lack of ware on certain parts of the saw.

update on the leaded 250, pulled the carb down and blew it all out with some berrymans and tuned and starts and runs fine. went and ran a couple test cuts with both the super does have a little more nutts than the reg. the one other thing i noticed is that the super spools up slower than the regular one. is that norm between the two. or is it a diff in the carb's? the super has the flatback and the reg has the tilly.

I have been buying a lot of screws from McMaster Carr lately, good selection and overnight shipping in most cases. In addition, 3/32 and 1/8" hardened steel balls (for McCulloch automatic oilers and primers), 0-rings, and other miscellaneous stuff. Amazing what you can find there if you just keep looking through their site, and shipping usually costs less than I spend for a round trip to Fastenal.

I picked up a bunch of SS (18-8) 10-24 hex head machines screws from a place called Crouch Sales, had to resort to Sears Direct for a couple of lengths I couldn't get elsewhere but I have a nice stock at home now.

Reason I bring this up is many guys try to find what they need at the local big box or farm supply places and quite frankly it is probably easier to make a list and go on line for the odd stuff we often need for our saws. The big boxes will still be there for the normal stuff...

now on to this thing.

Thanks for the info, looks like I'm going to like that place!

Fraz, the 250 will look good in a set of chrome wraps, I'll get them moving on Monday.

thank you sir. don't rush if you don't have to. i'll do the same on the halfwrap.

 

[RandyMac]

These are the wraps, the half wraps will replace them.

 

[paccity]

nice. it will look and feel better with them. excuse my ignorance on all things mac, but what series saw is that.

 

[RandyMac]

 

[paccity]

ah. another to look out for. funny how that work's. out of all my saw's i keep gravitating to them yellow ones . and i'll send you a bar or two when i find them . in fact i'll be nosing around a stash tomorrow. see whats hiding in the corners. .

Randy, was that an inspected by or owned by sticker regarding the forest service?

You don't want ARP's?

lol.

Thanks for the reminder on McMaster-Carr... they do have a lot of good stuff there.

Reason many try to find stuff in big box stores (or small box stores) is to help support local business. I could've got some bolts at Ace that would work with some threading... guess I'll stop by there again to pick some up.

I got it from the original owner, he was a USFS Ranger and bought it new to carry in his truck.
It is an inspection sticker, pretty funny because it has no spark screen.

The Super should spool up faster than the 'regular'. The shatback may still not behaving quite like it should.

 

[RandyMac]

That 1-43 is up for grabs, the bucks are going to Stumpy's shop, a signed photo and PBR can (full) goes with it.
I'll be putting it in the classifieds when the half wrap is on it.

 

[paccity]

well changed my mind on the next yellow beast to get running. haven't done anything to this one because it's so damn big and heavy. the bar and chain will give you a hernia . but i know it will run because i had it going when i first got it on prime. one is all the crap in the bowl and screen and the one in the tank also. got fuel to flow . and cleaned up all the stuff in it . blew out all the ports in the carb. the diafram looks rough but no holes. i'll work on it some more tomorrow and see if it wil run on it's own. then slap it over a big log and see what it will do. never ran a two man before.

I went on a search for slotted hex-head machine screws - - no luck anywhere including fastenal. they are 10/24s. the d36 has some pan heads on it now because of this. I'll check macmaster carr now.
