    So, that means I could run any .404 - .063 chain right assuming it has the right number of links?

    Funny... Running saws for a long time and I don't think I've ever actually bought a loop apart from my Poulan, which I've always just gotten what I had (consumer saw, so I can just get the replacements at Home Desperate), so I never had to learn this... I suspect my father probably just always took the dead loops to the shop and they matched it up on the other saws...

    Ok... Photo time again...

    I pulled the bar off, because all morning I've been thinking about that chunk that is missing. (slow day at the shop) So, this looks pretty terminal to me. I don't think I'd be comfortable running this, but I'm happy to hear thoughts.



    So, assuming I need to replace this, and hang it on the wall for decoration, I started looking at bars...
    From what I read on the McCulloch thread about bars, and side plates, it looks like I've got a later model bar, and matching plates...



    Which means mostly I need to stick with that or start changing more than the bar, and chain... Last owners had both of the side plates on the inside of the bar... Nice to see people at least try not to screw up their gear...

    Since I'm this far now, I should probably figure out how to get the clutch off, and check the bearing in there... There is what I'd consider to be a little too much play on the drum, but I could be wrong...

    It probably never ends...

    You do indeed have the later style bar and bar plates Tim. I'd look into having that bar fixed. It's in otherwise VERY nice shape. Not sure there's anybody near you that does that sort of thing anymore. There's a business in Oregon that handles this kind of repair. Your biggest expense would be shipping it to them and back again.

    Tune the H side so that it burbles (four strokes) at WOT unloaded and just cleans up when under load. When you lift cutting pressure, the saw should revert to four stroking.

    I would never have guessed anyone would repair a bar... I'll have to send them a photo with a question. You're right, I doubt anyone local does that kind of work, I doubt there would be enough call for it, but I'll have to look regardless.

    There is a much rarer version of the 103cc models, a gear-drive, the 895CL, chromed bore, left hand start. I touched a new one, should have bought it, but spent a hundred bucks less on a 125.
    I would bet the farm that if that saw could talk,,, it could tell some amazing stories. Was this saw one of yours from the good old days??? I like it!!

    No not one of mine, it is local though. The only saw I have, that I fell timber with is the Super 250.

    "I firmly believe in the philosophy that safety is the number one priority in the woods. Having said that I feel that safety starts with the proper mindset and is followed closely, very closely, by the proper skillset. I think there is a tendency to offset poor skills by buying more safety gear."

    Sadly, mine is sick as well now. The PO managed to screw up the plug threads, so I have to get it bored, and inserted... How he got that plug to stay put for long enough that it started and ran perfectly a few times I can't imagine.

    Get a piece of brass that will fit the slot in the bar amd fill the chip in with weld. Then dress the weld with a file or a grinder. Tom

    Well there ended up being more wrong with the bar than just that chip. The repair price was actually very good from the company listed above for just that chip, but the shipping both ways wasn't pleasant. When I cleaned it up to ship, I started seeing lots of little cracks, so I ended up getting a new bar for it. 'Course now that gives me the old one as a "spare" and I might try the weld and file method since it wouldn't do anything other than hang on the wall otherwise... I have it in the back of my mind to slab out a walnut stump, so perhaps this would be the right bar to abuse like that...
