That is a very popular model, I see a lot of people collecting those tornados.

The Tornado is a beautiful saw. This one is low on compression so will probably need the piston/rings looking at and a new head gasket.
I haven't found much about these on the 'net. This one says it's a "type C" and I'm not really sure of it's date of manufacture.

How about the DD8F.... Picked this one up yesterday and had it running today after a good clean and fresh fuel and oil. The oil punp works nicely too. Chain now sharpened, Cut it's first timber in at least 10 years. I introduced it to a felled silver-Birch...

Good looking vintage Saw! I love seeing saws that were never really over here in the states!

Well you can...Just that pesky s/h that kills it most of the time. So what is the cheapest way to ship stuff globally anyway? Might have to do a shipment later this year after my school is over for the semester and trying to figure details out in my spare time.

Just fly to where the saw is for a vacation, buy saw, strip down to many parts, pack in suitcases for the flight back.

I believe the McCulloch serial. Umber info is under the top cover around the carb. I don't know if that's the same for all their models or not. Try removing the black cover
