I see Cub Cadet is advertising a 50 and 55cc saw again, who makes them? Steve
Narrow (probably quad) transfers, conservative port timing, a cat and set it lean. Same approach that many others are using.If it is the same it is surprising that it is still availible, did not think a Cat muffler could fix that.
They appear to be the same saws they sold previously, which were Jenn Feng made "McCullochs". I never really knew where the design came from, but I believe they were MuCulloch designs, based on some styling and design similarities with the "MAC3200" family.
They must have finally gotten it though emissions.
Bit your tongue the efco rebadged are decent saws.JUNK......in any case.
i'm quite sure the "first generation" cub cadet saws were made by efco..............and yes, this latest version looks to be mcculloch.......
yep, i owned an N.O.S. 52cc cub by efco, never did fuel it, sold it a few years ago.............Yes they were made by Efco and a decent saw, I got a 56cc Cub for $268 new back then. These new ones are advertised in the mid $200 range also but if made or related to Mac certainly not worth it. Steve

What I was told seemed to imply that the saws were designed(Italy) in process and to be manufactured in Mexico when the whole JF buyout occurred. Supposedly there are grey Titan labeled versions of those saws.
Not quite - my SE2012S 32cc (same as a MAC3200 but different colors) was made in 1994, well before the bankruptcy and sale in 1999. I have tried to figure out where it was made, but can't tell if it was Mexico or US.When Mac went under, Jenn Feng bought the rights to the name McCulloch for north America sales and I believe after that is when that saw design appeared. The Mac 3200 family was a Jenn Feng made saw, and that name is the only link to the original McCulloch.
The MAC3200 family is a small consumer saw, but a long way from junk. The chassis is sturdy with bar studs mounted into the metal housing, quad transfers and decent porting. Mine runs very well for the displacement with a muffler mod and a little more intake duration. It's getting a lot of use now that I converted it to A/V. They are easy to work on too.If Mac was behind designing those saws, then its just as well they went belly up and should have.

The saws in question here are semi-clamshell designs with removable upper cylinders and a plastic chassis. Somewhere I got the idea the engines were Italian designs, but I don't know where I read that.
