I actually have one of those. That's not a pic of mine though, just a pic I found online. My brother has mine at his house. It was a hand me down from my dad when he bought a bigger generator. He bought it new back in the 70's. I'll have to get a pic of mine and put it up. It works great!

Just a quick question about 125/101 carbs-

were sdc's ever used on 125 as OEM?

My "125" has an SDC. I know that lots of carbs can be swapped, but can't a guy dream until he gets home!!

Just got this one in the mail today. Got it from another member on the forum. It was listed in the classifieds. Haven't had much of a chance to check it out yet. I did pull the muffler and the p&c look pretty good. Compression seems good too but I haven't put the comp tester on it. She needs a good cleaning! The only thing i've found is some hard stuff on the top corner of the fuel tank. I'm guessing I'll find a crack or hole under there. Probably won't get to work on it much till next week. This is my weekend to work. :msp_angry:

Here are a few more pics.

Here it is with my baby of the Mac family.

I also picked up a Carlton 36" bar from Bailey's a couple of weeks ago. They were on closeout for a pretty good price. It's a Stihl 880 bar mount that I'm going to modify for large mount mac use.

First one I have ever seen with left hand start. Congrats on the new saw!!!

 

[Ambull]

Be careful modifying the bar. Make sure that it will work right with the oiler and the bar brackets. I remember when I first got my SP125C, and I put a large Homelite bar on it. Seemed to fit perfect. I started up the saw, and sparks started shooting out.

The brackets have a strategic hole to let out the oil out of the oiler. It also lines up with the bar just right.

Best of luck.

Anybody live in Missouri? Might want to check this out. Looks like possibly a Kart block, and maybe some other goodies. My guess is nobody will bid on it.

Didn't get to the computer at all yesterday Shane, so I couldn' check the IPL's until now. Sorry...

A bit late, since you already figured out what saw you have, but I'll go ahead and post the block numbers since I said I would. May come in handy for somebody in the future...

The block # for the CP125/CP125C is 84071.

The block # for the SP125/SP125C is 91110.

I saw no numbers on the bottom of the block but did see something that concerns me. THere is stamped on a raised round portion of the block a u on its side and a C on the other side. Does this indicate it is not a SP but rather a CP. What exactly is the difference between the two perfomance wise.

I have been sicker than a dog so have spent little time in the garage. There is still oil in the cylinder so I have to dig into that. I would like the hear it fire.

I measured the bore and it is 58mm

they came with an SDC 20 or the Tillotson HS70A, both were adjustable high and low needles. The Tillotson HS124A was only the low side adjustable and were used on the later models.

Manuals

I tried in Beg for manuals with no luck so I figured I'd try here. Looking for service manuals for:

Mac 140
Power Mac 320
Eager Beaver 2.0

Thanks

My CP has a K where yours has the U. They were the same saw except the CP has a cast iron sleeve and the SP was chromed.

It looks good with that bar. :msp_thumbsup:

This might get me kicked out of the McCulloch thread but here is the IPL for the Eager Beaver. I strongly suspect any service manuals that were printed for them were burned by the original copy holders.

Timber Bear

I was given a McCulloch Timber Bear (P/N 600134-14). The only parts manual I could find on the internet was from Jan 1987. It only goes up to P/N 600134-06. Does that make this saw a Pro Mac 605?? Just wondering as I may need to get parts and want to have the right part numbers. Thanks

go to Home and search for your model number in there for the IPL

Did the exhuast port have a center bridge or was it one oval port? Oval port is SP, bridged is CP. They are different. SP porting is further towards torque, CP in the middle, the 797 biased toward rpm and HP (I don't have exacts on the transfers, but the older you go, the higher the exhaust port). Also, not all SP blocks are chrome, just the later ones.

Thanks to Mark's 1-72 pictures, I got motivated to modify the 30" roller Homie bar I bought for mine. Finally got the job done tonight and ran it for a few cuts. Works great, but 30" with .404 skip is stretching the limit on her. Doesn't freight-train like the 797... no kidding, right? 87s up isn't totally fair for this saw vs the Super 250 because that one has 3/8 full on a 25", but it "feels" like the Super 250 can be dogged more than the 1-72. Makes me more interested to do a kart-head 1-70 and see how it stacks up to the Super 250... too many projects right now.

It won't work for me. Guess the saw is too old. Thanks
