the coolest wrap saw ever is that guy on youtube with a full wrap on a 346XP.
Wrap handle or not ?

And the PNW and ECL need to chill out, everybody knows the Midwest Tumbleweed Cutters are the true fallers
May be a tumbleweed cutter but my 385 wears a full wrap as well as my 372 in firewood season

That "saw engine" would be neat with an 8-71 blower on top of it!
I wonder how my Homelite Super 2 would look with a full-wrap handle?

I have 3/4 wraps on my 044 and 660 just because they came that way. I haven't used the right side handle alot but can see where it would be very useful. I'd much rather use the right side for a felling notch and the back cut. The wraps and big clutch covers look awesome on the big saws.

I agree! They look pretty cool on the smaller saws too.

As a carrier of Yellow Fever and an enabler of general CAD, it's my duty to to imprint images of vintage chainsaws on the minds of the susceptable. It seems to be working.
LP, you have until the end of the month to obtain a 100cc+ vintage chainsaw.

Well RandyMac, I got a 1050 McHomelite lol, and a Super44A in the shop. And way too many projects to get any more for a while.
But hope to ride by and talk the guy down on that 550.
Oh, and a Mall 7, Im hunting chain for
And the D36, and 2 250s- one yellow top and one black top, but the black top has the Mac flat back
The yellow fever has me up to 6 now I think

Well said, I prefer a FULL wrap over a 3/4 wrap. Just get a stubby scrench and you'll be fine. Anyone who has ever fell timber on steep ground knows that sometimes there is only one side you can cut the tree from, making the full wrap a necessity. And if you have ever been unfortunate enough to be bucking blowdown, a full wrap is probably the reason your still around to tell the story.
A good set of dogs to go with the full wrap is the way to go as well. I know the the stihl ms 361 the stock half wrap version comes with a worthless set of dogs. You have to get the 3/4 wrap upgrade that comes with a new clutch cover to actually get a pair of dogs that will work on that saw. But I know that upgrade costs over $100 to get from your local dealer.
But the half wrap has it place too. There are plenty of situations where you don't need a full wrap, or it could get in the way (low-stumping). And if the extra weight is that much of burden, your not good enough shape to run a chainsaw. But hey, that's just my opinion. I think the full wrap saves me energy because of the added options it gives you.

LP, you just think you have a choice, the McCullochs will find you. Your 250s have sent out the signal, expect more. The Homelites have a parasite called Homelice, they infest starters and travel straight to the brain, inducing the infected to proform elaborate restorations, upto and including the replating of screws. The Yellow Fever virus settles in your sack and has an affinity for iron, the vibes and sound produced by McCullochs causes the iron to bond to your testes. While there is no scientific proof, it appears that running stihls causes lead to collect in your ass.

If you have to wrestle with Mac carbs, then you're in serious danger of the Yellow Fever infecting your hands, causing them to imediately pull what hair you have left right offa your head. Liberal application of Rye whiskey and cigar smoke can temporarily lessen those urges, but never cure them completely...

The big McCulloch saws are probably some of the best looking saws ever made, and that one looks to be in very nice condition.
