McCulloch Mini and Small CC Chainsaw's

[Overtrained]

Figured I should check in here as I just came up with my first to Mini Macs today! Pretty excited to dive into them! View attachment 280399View attachment 280401

Any luck with these Jimmy?

And by the way Jimmy that eager beaver power Mac looks REALLY familiar, who did you get that from? The red tinted gas cap and peeling sticker are a dead give away

the big boys in the grown up MAC thread are getting anxious that the mini's are taking over

Thats a great deal if they all run

 

[minosi]

They do...with gas from the tank no less!

Bought them from a kid learning small engines in high school. His old man has a small engine scrap yard.

Two need muffler covers, the PM6 has a cracked/broken top shield...of which I have plenty.

I like these old minis...mag cases, no brake.

These ones have decent bar/chains too.

Early mini's with no brake are my favorite as well.

Sometimes you just need the right tool...for the right job

Looks like a Frontier to me. Someone must have just put a McCulloch bar on it.

I think power macs are ugly too. Mini's look good to me.

Well Dennis I dug into my 110 today. got her all apart. Just need to clean her up and clean that carb. Gonna also put in a new line. It all came apart smoothly but i have a gut feeling that it is not gonna go back in that way

It will be fine, just remember to stick the throttle linkage to the magnets on the flywheel during reassembly. That removable recoil starter is a plus, you will see what I mean when you try and tackle a MM1 or MM6.:msp_thumbup:

I never took the recoil off when I tore it down. Should I take it off when sliding it back in then?

Mine has no brake...because I busted it off the rest of the way. Does that count? :hmm3grin2orange:

Yes, it will make it much easier

Well both the Mini and the Eager Beaver run on gas.. but poorly. I think the Mini is very sick. The crank has ~1/8" of end play. I'm guessing that's not normal... should I tear into it any further or just hunt another motor to put in it?

Tbone75 (John) blessed me with both of these saws.... I really like the 35. It may be a pain but I see myself rebuilding that one and probably another.
