McCulloch Chain Saws

[leeha]

stretched the legs on the 82cc CP70 today, I did a removal of a mountain ash. The saw preformed flawlessly as usual for a 10 series.

Sweet, We're going to have to start calling
you Mcculloch Jim.

Got the sp125 out for a little excercise the other day to cut a tree for a friend. Will be going back to drop another decent size tree and haul to the sawmill for him soon. I sure like that 125.

Those long bars come in handy, don't they? Ron

Looks like everyone has been having some fun. I finally got home tonight, will have to try and get some photos of the surprises that arrived while I was away posted up tomorrow.

firewood day

Cheers guys, I fueled up the ol SP-80 tonite and made sure the chain is sharp. Gonna make some chips tomorrow. The neighbor has a woodlot that has several windfalls that are ready for my truck.
weather be damned.

I pulled the Italian titan 50 out to do some precision deck post adjustments. Pulled and pulled. No spark whatsoever? it ran when i parked it.

SP125 Chrome cylinder liners and saw colors

I"m thinking of building a couple saws later this summer, an SP-105 & SP-125. I have 4 or 5 completely apart SP's that I robbed a part here or there about 10 years ago to build an SP-125C. Going through the boxes of parts, I noticed that I have 2 cylinders which had a slight amount of surface rust (cylinders have been oiled again) and 2 cylinders did not (one completely junk and the other iffy at best).

Would it be fair to say the one with rust are cast iron cylinders? What else could I use to determine which is which? Is there a part number somewhere of the cylinder? I didn't see one, but I could have looked right over it......

Another question, what color schemes have you seen or own? The saw i built (and use ~ not a shelf queen) has yellow fuel tank and bottom brace and black engine. I have one black fuel tank (rest yellow) which I think was the 105. Just looking for ideas.....


Lastly, anyone come up with the color powder coat color to match the mac's?

A magnet will verify wether its steel or chrome in the bore

i second the magnet test. quick, easy, accurate.

on the color scheme, i powder coated mine. be ready for many hours using the sand blaster, and alot of "rubbing alcohol" to make sure there is no oily residue that will ruin the paint. i used another type of alcohol while building mine but it tastes better than rubbing alcohol and come from the hills of TN.

i can PM you the seller that i get my powder from. here are the pics of the finished saw. on the muffler, i used a high temp silver powder coat. it was very durable and didn't burn or peel.

as a side note, the temp from the oven may have led to my fuel leaks in the two piece fuel tank seam.

mine wasn't a shelf queen for sure. even after all that hard work to make it look good, i threw it in the truck and went to work...

i've got a DE50 that will run but has an air leak somewhere causing it to run lean. after i noticed it running lean, i put it up and haven't used it again so the P&C are still in good shape. its the same as you're titan 50 so if you need a parts saw, just PM me.

also, i've used a 10-10s coil on a titan 620. so, it may be possible to do something like that on a titan 50 if you can't get a original coil.

That would be too easy. Honestly, I thought they were steel liners with a chrome layer over it.

Please do. At least it will give me a start. Granted i have to: finish the re-roofing the garage, complete my tear-down and restoration of a Lincoln Idealarc 250/250 welder and tray and get to my 1948 Deere B to run again (lost spark). And then get the 660 and SP-70 running. And after that, it is Super-Pro time (I think).....

What temp were you at?

PM on the way for the supplier.

I think the temp was at 400F for 10-12 minutes

No chrome is over Aluminium hense a thin layer or else you would be able to rebore them early 125's had a steel bore

Before I left I had packed a few old saws and sent them along to Mr. Bowsaw, perhaps one day we will get to see them after he has worked his magic on them...

Anyway, he (Cliff) is such a good guy, he sent me a couple of things in return. First up, a cut off attachment that will a fit most any of the large frame McCulloch saws. I will need to find a new belt and make up a cover to fit over the hub, but I should have one cut off saw finished and up on the shelf in a few days time.

In addition, he sent me this nice looking 1-51. I don't have one up on the shelf yet, and this one looks like it will need very little to make it a runner and then I can scratch one more off the list.

Thanks Cliff, you are a real gentleman.

I have a few more McCulloch items for the shop as well.

McCulloch 12 volt chain sharpener, works too! Appears to have had very light use, if in fact it was used at all.

McCulloch battery charger for the 10 Series electric start saws.

Finally, a couple of McCulloch branded File-O-Plates, one from customchainsawparts, and one from Jeff V up in Minnesota.

The plan is to build a "shadow box" one of these days to store and show off some of the cuious McCulloch items I've collected inluding a lighter, wrist watch, a couple of pens, chain guages, forged screnches, stamped screntches, match book covers, etc.....
