Any and all are welcome to visit any time. I have around 150 saws and such on display now and trying to increase that number each week as I get them cleaned up and ready. Check in advance to make sure I am available.

Mark, you're helpful even when just doing your thing. I hate taking bars off my saws. Most of mine have their original bars on them. Think I'll try the cross bar pattern on the shelves. That gives some space to display small stuff with out blocking the saw. It never fails that I want to take a 100CC saw down, with a 36" bar, and have to move 6 other saws to get to it.
We are planning a road trip to Tulsa from MD. Taking a Southern route out, and a Northern route home. I'm going to see if we are running close enough to swing by.

Might be doable on the return trip! It's only an inch on the map.
I managed to get a few more cleaned up in preparation for moving over to the museum. I also spent some time going through the Homelite IPL's and Service Bulletins getting them arranged is a fashion to make them more practical to use...I'll try to remember and get some photos to post up soon.

Where do you come up with all these BPs???--Ray Heimann--I'll call to make sure you are home!--
My older brother bought this from a former McCulloch dealer, he thought it might be more at home here.

And another Jenn Feng McCulloch cleaned up and ready today. This one have a form of "easy start" that actually works.

I have not done a good job of keeping things up to date in this thread. I cleaned up all of the 600 Series saws (610, 605, Timber Bear, etc.) and have them more or less organized in the shelves now. I have also put up a few more non saw McCullochs including a pump, hand held blower, back pack blower, and a string trimmer and have another brush cutter hung from the ceiling.
I have also done a little work on my "John Higby" corner. John was a local power equipment dealer and I helped his widow some with his left over chainsaws and related equipment after he passed away. She in turn gave me a number of Homelite documents, some saws, and other related items including this display racks. He was a Stihl dealer after Homelite so there is some Stihl stuff on display as well.
Here are some interesting items related to chain repair and sharpening.

I also finished sorting through the Homelite and McCulloch documents and have everything put away in the closet in my office, everything but my McCulloch IPL's as I am leaving those in the old shop for now as I continue to do most of the work over there.

Looks very nice!
When do you break ground on the addition?

I have moved a few more saws for sale into the new shop, and have some clutter left over from the display materials.
The attic has received a few packages as I finish up a series (300 Series, 600 Series, 32/35/38cc, etc.).
And thank to Definitive Dave I have a partial roll of 7/16 pitch McCulloch chain on the original plastic spool in the shop area.

I talk with the realtor about the property next to mine about every three weeks...

Great to see the progress Mark! I've sponsored a young hot shoe sprint car driver who will be running Jackson MN and Knoxville IA once things get rolling again. Hope to stop by on a Sunday sometime soon on a return trip to Sconnie!
I am trying to get some of the saws organized the way I want them long term, starting with the 10 Series family. The 4th row down is the 82 cc line up except for the CP80DX which is on the left end of the 2nd row. I am still missing a few models as I only have the 2-10G and Super LG6 for gear drive models on hand.
I picked up another welder on my recent trip to Oregon, this one included the case for the leads and the rectifier to convert the AC output to DC. That is a moped engine McCulloch built for AMF just above the welder.
I have room for more if I ever manage to set aside some time to get them cleaned up and moved over.

Sweet! I spy a familiar-looking Lear Jet starter.... It looks better there than it does in the back of a 40 foot con-ex box, in my opinion.
It is interesting to see the differences between the two chargers, one has a 12/24 volt switch and leads with clamps like jumper cables, the other has an ammeter and the plug for the Lear jet. It also has what looks like a standard 120 volt cord receptacle but appears to be wired directly to the alternator. So many changes in such a short time.
