Well, I’m not a chainsaw collector but I did pick up a new saw the other day. I posted over in the McCulloch thread and got some help identifying it.

Its an 840, 99 cc gear reduction with 1/2” chain. Started to clean it up yesterday. Was told it ran not long ago, but we’ll see. It feels to have A LOT of compression. I think I am a bit out of element with this behemoth, not much to be found online about working on them and I fear messing it up.

Beautiful McCulloch! You’ll love it. If not there’s many to pass it on to

Awesome score!

Dont worry about it too much, lots of parts out there for it. Alot of those old large frame macs like that share parts. The trickiest thing on those seem to be the carburetor I think.

@heimannm knows Mac saws back to front, he would be the one to ask if you have questions. And if you run across problems please post them here in the thread ao it will be recorded for everyone to see

I am begining to think that is the best course of action. I really don’t want to mess up a ‘rare’ saw especially one with an apparently low serial number.

Someone say rare saw, he's one.

I got a couple of them too. I like the ones that got a motor in em thought.[emoji6]

But theses are cordless, gasless and oil free. A environmental friendly saw. You don't even need all that protective gear, just two strong backs.

Sorry you must mean two broken backs. I've used one enough, 5 minutes actually, to know that they are much better looking on a wall than in wood. I will take any saw, except a plastic poulan over a misery whip any day!

 

[RandyMac]

Imagine ditching the whip for a McCulloch 3-25 or the first Homelites, true relics today.

My dad picked up a Stihl saw gas tank, cylinder, crankcase but it has slanted fins. And another crankcase, muffler, cylinder, piston, coil and starter but he said this one is bigger. He said he thought the biggest one was an 044. I thinking he got a 10mm pin 044 and a 064 or 066?

He also got a 372xp and a 55
