McCulloch Chain Saws

[heimannm]

I haven't really paid much attention to the DL count for several years with plenty of bars and chains around, or just make up a chain as needed...

Back in the day when I bought a chain to fit the wide, hardnose bar 77 DL was the magic number and even then getting it on the first time took some effort.

Looking at the catalog it seems McCulloch used their impeccable logic again when designing bar and chain combinations; you'd better have a program in hand when selecting the proper set up.......

My goodness, what is the length of that bar in the back, hanging on the wall? Lordy

I have a nos uxl mount 43" and another uxl mount that I have used 36" and I have a couple other misc 34-36" bars for the Remingtons

Yea it was a bit of a pain. There's an aluminum guard next to the muffler and mine is a bit bent I had to use a screwdriver and some elbow grease to get the chain to slide behind the clutch and that guard. I bought a cheapo chain for 21.95 lol we will see how it fits then I will buy a better chain. I probably should of took the time now that I think about it to actually count the rim sprocket to see if it is 7 or 8t the weirdest part of this saw is its pretty clean for low compression (90#) and it also has a brand new rim sprocket on it but you could very well be right on the 77dl and I could of misjudged the slack in the 79 dl chain I mocked up. I will let you know once I get the new chain in.

This started yrs ago picking up parts off ebay and bob johnson. This year i got a 60 dollar nos cylinder. All the pieces fell together tonight. This is a sp81 with many nos parts and a few powdercoated parts. Im only missing a sticker which is on its way. One small part needs paint..lower front bracket. Its never had fuel in the engine and i may not. Still debating on it........anyway i hope you all enjoy looking. It was a fun project put together over the past week.

Max dropped this one off on a visit earlier this year. NOS saw but missing a few bits...



I decided it was time to make it whole again.



We spent a fair amount of time comparing part numbers for the missing pieces with items on hand and I think we were able to come up with everything needed. If you've been into one of the Titan 50/57 or Double Eagle 50 models you cannot appreciate the complexity of the plumbing and of course all of the lines must be replaced as the original materials were very poor.



That is not the clutch intended for this model but with a minor adjustment it can be made to work. There was one NOS 219854 listed on eBay but for $139 + shipping I decided to pass.
