I'm new here and don't really know my way around the site very well, but I have an all original Sally Saw ~ 1938-40. An uncle was the original owner and it has been garage kept, and is in very good condition. I'm in the process of downsizing and need to sell it. I'd be glad to hear from anyone interested in buying it.
Nice remington! 
Mark,. I picked up a new in the crate Sally Saw not too far south of you. It was not cheap though
I had some visitors last weekend. Some of you will recognize the name Bobby Framke, Bobby and a few friends thought they'd come for a tour, shop for a few parts, and work on a few saws.
L-R Bobby Framke, Shane Pepin, Bob Fredette, Greg Mader, and Geoff Framke. Bobby had recently finished the restoration of the SP125 for Bob Fredette so they made the exchange while they were here.
Bobby also brought along his "sleeper" 1-10 with a PM700 powerplant under the covers, and a customized PM800.
I wasn't a lot of help as I had undergone a surgical procedure to release the tendon in my right thumb a day before they came.

I also received a couple of packages just before they arrived and hadn't opened them to see what was in there. I'd ordered some DG5 kits off eBay and hadn't even paid attention to who the seller was. When I opened one box I found a few McGoodies that had been included.
I finally paid attention to who the seller actually was...
In the bottom of the box was an Eager Beaver promotional package, now on display in the museum.
The McCulloch branded bar tip grease gun has been added to the parts display in the shop.
Thank to Definitive Dave Smith for the great additions. The scrench has been placed with the 300 Series saws on display.

Been looking for one of the top handle macs for a bit they seem to be the only ones that can run right other then Stihl and huskey. People are wanting outrageous prices lately.
Dave is 'Definitively' one of the good guys. Folks like you and he don't come along often.
Mark just wanted to say thanks for a great project, it gets better and better as time goes by.

Xl-15??? Thats a new one for me. Pretty cool Mr. Heimannm. I hope to make it to the museum one day.
Planetary gear reduction in the clutch cover.
The saw belonged to Jim Rogers (Mo Jim) and came to me from Mike Manley (Homelite 410)
Mike also gave me the Milwaukee electric saw.

That Milwaukee will have a ton of torque and pull regular 3/8 chain well, but slow.
I bought the remaining McCulloch inventory from Discount Marine sometime in February, lots of totes and boxes.
I have been pecking away at going through all of the boxes checking part numbers, verifying counts, repacking where necessary, and finding places to put everything. Virtually all of the chainsaw related parts are put away in the shop/attic of the museum building except for some bulkier items like 50 or 60 each recoil starters for several Titan models and such.
For the past few months my son Jeff has been coming on Saturdays and helping by manning the computer, entering part numbers, recording locations, helping me cross reference part numbers and the like. This week my grandson Grady was doing the same.

The remaining boxes and totes are all hardware items; nuts, screws, washers, snap rings, roll pins, set screws, seals, bearings, and so on...this will take some time, effort, and thought to come up with a way to get them sorted, organized, and some how put away so I can find them when needed.

If you like something and want to, it's not that hard ;-)
On to the hardware.

That’s one thing I like about chains: fewer pieces!

Mark, if you find a air filter for a mac 73 i sure need one. Your project is bigger and better every day.
