I'm trying to find a nice long bar for my 1-62 saw. 28" or longer.

Will P/N 63547UH work for my saw? It says its for a Mac 10.

Or this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHAINSAW-BA...hash=item35fafb471b:m:mboQ_32PKlSxd13X3Xdh6QQ

The Mac 10 bar could be made to work with your large frame saw but you would have to mill or file the slot for the bar studs, 10 Series are 5/16" and the large frame are 3/8".

There are many, many choices out there as the same bars that fit the large frame McCulloch saws fit many Homelite saws of the same vintage. In fact, many third party bars were made with a universal mount to fit a variety of saws.

Large frame bars would be anything from the D-44/1-40/1-50/1-60/1-70/1-80/200/300/400/500/700/800/SP105/125 type saws.

Universal mount



The "S" spacer allows the same bar to be used on many saws with the 5/16" studs as well.

This one is a bit pricey but it is the mount you are looking for.

I pointed this e-bay item out to Mrs. Heimann prior to Christmas, then rather forgot about it. I found a place to hang it in the new room in the basement that I may get in another 10 or 15 years when it is not longer the grandkids play room. Photos of that will follow at some point.



That is son Jeff in the recliner in the corner coming up on one year with his new kidney...and yes I was wearing my PNW GTG tee shirt for the green in my red/green Christmas ensemble.

Merry Christmas, Mark. Glad your son is doing well.

Merry Christmas to all of the rest of you MAC buddies.

How about this one? I assume the oil hole is the top tension hole?

That 37" would be nice but its a bit too pricey. I've got to get a carb kit for the 1-62 as well since its leaking a lot of fuel. Won't take full throttle but it will idle.

That bar is incredible. Who made it?

Ginger - the first one will work, not sure on the second

Do you know which homelite model bars will fit? The Carlton one would be about 20$ cheaper route since it comes with a chain.

FWIW,
The Homelite bar has the 9mm slot, so it can be made to fit a large mount McCulloch, BUT the oil hole on the Homelite bar is different. Without drill/dremel work on the Homelite bar, the oil will not get to the chain properly.

If a Homelite Bar is to be put on a McCulloch with an outboard clutch, the 'tail' of the bar needs to be shortened, as there is not enough room between the clutch and the bar stud for the Homelite bar to slide on.

So, a Homelite (or 9mm Husqvarna) bar can be modified to fit a large mount McCulloch, but it's a lot of work just to save a few bucks. Drilling and grinding on a brand new bar doesn't seem right either...
Just my $.02
Hope this helps!

 

[Ginger15]

Thanks, its a gear drive so theres no clutch to worry about. But I'll just snag the mac bar and pony up for a chain eventually. Carb kit first!

Modified Mark sent me this File-O-Plate in a Christmas card a few days back.



These are a bit different from the other File-O-Plates due to the odd configuration of the GLX chain.



Unlike other File-O-Plates, you actually flip it the wrong way (opposite angle to the cutter) to adjust the rakers.

A couple more looks at the File-O-Plate on the GLX chain.

I'm assuming that the extra bumpers on the tie straps are some kind of a safety feature?

 

[brandonstc6]

Is this saw bigger than 100cc. Is it a good deal at $200 shipped?
Thanks
