I'll deal with you l a t e r
I'm delusional - I just put three saws on eBay, including a PM 850. I've never sold a saw in my life. Please spare me further pain.

Stay in one spot, while I find someone to come over and smack the back of your head.
Should I put a skull bucket on? If so, I'll have to go buy one as my Dad's old full rim fiberglass from his days with TVA disappeared shortly after I was married and after my bride straighten up her new home. I'm sure my cheap plastic one wouldn't hold up to the blow. :msp_crying:
That thing sounds good and sure seems top pull strong. How do you think that compares to your 925?
I wish that I could say that it was better, but my 925 is modded. It turns 12,500 rpm out of the cut and 9,600 rpm in that same log with a 28" bar. It's just faster.

This was from a GTG we had and the SP80...Look at the chips she dumped out....Aint nothing like a Mcc my friend...Hope you have alot of enjoyment outta your SP81!!!
Special thanks to Levi and his wonderfull wife for saving this......
Nice...I think i'm sending you my 922 then. They are strong already though
Post on the McCulloch sticky, lots of great guys and good info on there. I have a PM700, awesome saw!! The SP81 is one I am keeping an eye out for, they are very nice. Keep them Macs going! I have several 10-10's as well.resurrecting an old thread!
I also recently picked up an older Super Pro 81. Pretty pumped about it...but it's got some age on it. I of course tore it all apart for no real reason. Has about 140-150psi compression from what I can tell so far. Piston isn't scuffed at all...but cylinder walls don't look super stellar.. Wondering if anybody has any leads on good places to get parts for these old saws? Not having any luck with saw shops locally so far.
For starters, I'm looking for some AV mounts, the starter/recoil plastic guard, air filter, muffler, etc..
I also picked up a Pro Mac 700. It's seen less use..and better shape. But so far seems to have a gas leak somewhere. I haven't investigated much yet though other than knowing it has a puddle under it.
Any experience with these two saws...thoughts/opinions?
Thanks!
I had some luck with Randys Small engine repair. Also get yourself a IPL, many parts on macs fit others saws, clutch, etc.
Check Ebay, had good luck there too.

An SP81 in great shape may top out over 185 PSI but @ 150 will still run very well. The PM700 will be lower to start with as they were somewhat de-tuned compared to the earlier models like the 7-10.
Try Fayetteville Repair and M and D for parts, Google if needed.
