Found a Mac 99 for sale, looks to be complete but no idea if it runs or the engine is even free. I realize 161 cc's is worth something, but is it a $75 saw or a $400 saw?
What's a McCulloch 99 worth?

How about a little help guys? Don't want to miss out on the saw if it is worth grabbing.

Go get it. If it runs, that's a bonus.
If it turns over, it's awesome. If it is seized, it's a great shelf saw.
I don't follow the two man saws as much as one man, my brother picked up a very nice 99 for $100, more likely $200-$300 if it is running, or has the potential to run with a little work.
I wouldn't go over $200 unless it was in really good shape but I'm not looking for one either.

without hearing it run maybe worth 200 in parts.
good runner can fetch 5-600
hard to find carby parts and good chain for those.
lots of other parts availible.

Lots of times its easier to find another saw than just finding the darn chain.
Oh well, everybody needs a parts saw for the parts saw right?

that is true with many old saws.
I watch for 1/2 chain hanging on old beat up homeys, macs and bradleys.
worth much more than the saws are.
here is some new mac 2 man chain that just sold a few weeks back.
very hard to find but this was for the shortest bar. 3/4 pitch and I think it's .074 gauge.

I have a lot of trouble running those two man saws by myself, so I probably wouldn't offer anything.

Mac 7-55 wouldnt be to bad with a shorter bar. DA-211 is manageable and a few of the Malls- 11&12 series etc.
But wouldnt try it with the Mall 7, Mercury KB, Bluestreak, or Husky 3120 with 6' bar. lol

Did anyone else notice that the McCulloch ad refers to a 20-inch blade?

Ive noticed that in what little old saw literature that Ive seen.
Doesnt matter to me, I know which end does what.

I thought it was funny that literature from a major chainsaw manufactorer called the bar a blade, especially because some folks around here get pretty snippy :msp_ohmy: when someone calls the bar a blade.
