McCulloch Chain Saws

[briantutt]

A good set of needle nosed pliers are what I use to install it.

Yes, a very long and skinny set with good teeth probably would have been great.

If anyone out there in AS land has good lever/handguard p/n 92479 please PM me. This certain big auction site has them for $20 plus shipping but I can't bring myself to do that right now...

That's great Calvin, let me know what you come up with. Did you ever find a 3/8, 8 tooth RIM?

Okay, got the 1-72 done and out today. This saw runs great with absolutely none of the usual ritualistic histrionics of cursing/cajoling the thunder out of it. It starts, idles, cuts, and shuts off as uneventfully as any of my modern Huskies. Shame, I kinda enjoy the drama...

Some more tuning is needed to get the revs up a little better in the cut. These governed saws are a little trickier. Lots of cut and adjust. I base-lined it with the tach and manually forcing the governor open. Set it a just over 10000 rpm. Ran pretty well that way. I will say that after this vid I got out a bigger round for a planned 1-72 vs. 1-82 shootout and that 36" bar is probably the max on this saw. It's powerband is very much like another, modern "72" I own. Cuts great if you let it race, but try to dump truck it and it coughs in protest. The shootout never materialized. I have never put a carb kit in the 1-82. Never needed it, until now. She wasn't cooperating and I suspect it's time. I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow (stupid, it'll be 80 here this weekend) so it'll wait until we get back I guess.

Enjoy the vid. As you can hear, the T&C muffler was a great idea, but poorly executed. Still rattles my teeth. I love it !

well, see if you have that eager beaver handle!

If Calvin can't help you, post a picture. I'll probably have to attend church another time for helping the devil beaver, but I'm tiring of reading about it. Nothing personal, I know you agree its time for it to earn its keep.

Sweet!

It's a little POS but it seems kinda fun!

Yeah, them little saws are kinda neat to run. . . Small enough to throw in the tool box or behind the seat if you're going for a drive down a country road (for them trees that block the way occasionally), or going camping for a weekend and need some camp wood.

 

[Metals406]

Sweet!

I just looked. . . And I have some bad news. . . I only have about 30 of them. :monkey:

Oh look, here's one of them now. . .

I've been gone all day today with mom had her to the doctor this morning then had to take her to the hospital to give some blood work they are checking her for chf cause she is getting short winded alot so i have that stress on me right now.

I wish i had the funds to put a Display ad in the local newspaper as well as run a couple Radio commercials on a mower tune up special for $ 19.95 up to 24.95 on pushmowers and $ 69.95 on the riders but it costs funds to put that in motion.

At least i have one job worked by using the flyer system a tire center here in my area there asst manager john deere tractor with a CV13s kohler have to tune it up saturday morning .

But i need more than one

To help get these bills caught up so if i just can get some of them parts sold it will help
i have Four businesses in my area that was nice enough to let me leave flyers at there location one a fed ex store second a hardware store third that car tire center fourth a restaurant in town who even put the flyer in there window so people can see it.

I may be forced to getting my locksmith license renewed and doing road side calls only here in a few months from now
$ 32.00 a call is not alot but it is better than nothing and summer time is when they are busy i was both a locksmith and small engine shop small engines been doing that since 1988 and then i went into locksmith in 1994 just last year had to resign from that cause license ran out and did not have the funds to re do the license

That's a lot to take in Calvin. . . Keep your chin up.

The Lord's got your back, even when you think he doesn't.

Can't epoxy it back together?

 

[briantutt]

Can't epoxy it back together?

It appears to be glass filled nylon or ABS. Metals406 hooked me up and I am encouraged by his good will.

Maybe this country can survive...

 

[8433jeff]

+1 for metals guy. We got a few taking up space also.
