Randy, you up awful early. Hope all is well. Ron
I am up late Ron, sitting in my controlroom, pushing buttons.
All is good, thanks Ron, it will get better in an hour though, that is when my weekend starts.

Awesome pics Randy! A 82cc Mac is on the top of the list right now. Have missed some decent deals here recently, but my search has had to go on the back burner. Been spending all my extra money on climbing gear. Still have more stuff to get, seems like working with saws is expensive. I would love to see them still available today, but would hate to see what the EPA would have done to them.
Old Bob was the land owner and my second saw, heck of a good man. He was a cutter, did heart surgery.
So you had to keep an eye on him. I find that the more I cut the more concentration I want to give to it; unfortunately unless I cut alone, I invariably have the distraction of others that don't know or appreciate a safe distance/zone. Old Bob looks like he knew where to stand. Ron

Mad Murdock, PM700s are great. I've had one since new - 30 years now. It is a true workhorse. If you love it, you'll love the 82cc MACs. They are racehorses with AV thrown in. If possible you should add one of these to your stable. It is amazing what 12ccs more can do. I don't have a tach but the 82cc MACs also seem to rev quite a bit higher than the 700. 125s are great saws as well, but if you do a lot of cutting you'll use the lighter MACs much more. 125s are easier to work on IMO. Enjoy. Ron
I have enough NOS or really nice to parts, including the motor, to make an 82cc to my specs.
It will be lighter and louder than stock.
Thanks Ron. I have seen some of those junkers as well. I am not against junkers, just means it will take longer to fix as long as the motor is good. I have plenty of time to find one. I just keep seeing all the talk on here about them, and I want one a little more LOL.
I know several of the Macs are 82cc. Which one are you referring to in the 10 series?
Yep, the 10 series. I not positive, I do believe they were the only ones that were 82cc/5ci, the larger frame models were 80cc/4.9ci.

Also Double Eagle 80. A real nice saw with some work upgrades over the older PM800s: no manifold boot - carb is directly bolted to a solid plastic block manifold, DSP valve and an extra skid plate under the boot strap. Ron
I have a nice running McCulloch 250 and have a question about the carb... Is there a piece missing that covers the end of the carb within the airbox? There's a couple holes and I did not know if there was a part that attaches over the end? My grandpa hadn't started the saw in fifteen years and it started up in no time. Totally awesome saw!!
