McCulloch super 797

[Lucky sevens]

Hi all, new member to the site but a long time lurker/info hoarder. I have a super 797 that I pulled out of a barn loft and got running. Surprisingly it didn't take much more than a thorough cleaning and new fuel line/ carb tune. Had it out today helping a friend of mine block up some 36"+ maple and man does it run well. Won't keep up with my 090 but close. The only problem I had with it is the bucking spikes are missing and it could really use them. If anyone has a pair they are willing to sell I am interested. Thanks, Brad

Check Ebay for the spikes, always some there. 125 spikes fit that 797 perfectly.

Hey guys, I'm new to the site as well. Wasn't sure if it was better to start a new thread or reply to this one since I'm in a similar situation as far as being a new owner of a 797. I bought the saw thinking it was the plain 797 because of the black air filter cover but it may be a super?? It has what I'm assuming is the prefix 15 on the bottom and the SDC carb exactly like pictured from this IPL page. Is it a Super?

Thanks, Micah

If it has an SDC, it is likely a super. I can't remember whether the supers or the regular had thick or thin rings. Someone with more memory can help you there.

That makes sense.
