McCulloch Chain Saws

[torinocobra]

Aarron , i had the 890 and the 795 switched. the 795 i think was all ready rebuilt . the piston has no wear and the cyl has crosshatching still on it. the measurements are a little give or take. the 797 will need besides lotts of parts it will need a fresh piston and rings. now to find parts and what interchanges with them. thank you for the info. i'm thinkin on the 9th through the 13th or 14th.

Lets see some pictures Fraser.

Makes me more convinced Frazz has a Super. Recessed port vs. 797 flush.

Yep. Recessed for the rectangular 'no bolt holes' type ex gasket.

New addition to McShop. It's not mcculloch but at least it's yellow! I hope I don't offend anyone on my stance of a over bearing gov't.

NICE WD collection

NICE WD collection

I'm definitely a WD fan!

I've been busy a while, it's good to check back in and see what's going on.

 

[joeymt33]

I've also been busy straightening up the shop and storage building. Part of that was to organize all the 82cc Mac parts. I didn't realize how much that part collection has gotten out of hand. Not pictured are the non running part saws in that same category

The motor on the right is a NOS. Not pictured is another identical to it.

I found a few extra clutch covers. One for the pm850, one for the sp80/81, and three for the 800 and up.

There are two NOS pm800 mufflers in the bags and the bagged cylinder is a "C"

I'd like to get some more seals and bearings. I'll put that on the to do list.

Looking at the lower right hand corner of Joey's photo above; the spike for the older 10 Series have an offset, the spikes for the later models have no offset but there is a notch in the clutch cover where they fit.

I am thinking about making up some flat spikes patterned after the later model saws, but with a bolt pattern to fit the older short clutch covers.

Anyone else interested in such an item?

Is there an overwhelming reason why the "flat" spike would not / should not be used on the older saws? Seems to me it would even make adjusting the chain tension easier since the spike won't be laying right next to the adjusting screw.

What got me thinking about this was the home made flat spike on a short clutch cover that recently came into my posession.

I'd be interested. Will they be SS?

 

[heimannm]

Last batch I had made were SS, no reason the next batch could not be a well.

I did not spend much time or effort to polish these up or sharpen the spikes, but that could be done easily enough.

Here is one of the last batch on a PM800.

[joeymt33]

How did you make them?

 

[heimannm]

Dan (Manyhobies) works in a shop with a laser, cut them out of a piece of material left from another project.

I don't remember if I sent him a scan of the original, or if he had one to use as a template.

We will have to wait until another suitable piece comes along for the next batch.

[joeymt33]

That would be great to get one spike that would fit both styles like you said. Put me down for several.

I'd like to see how they look on the short clutch covers. That spike on the PM800 looks darn good Mark.
