McCulloch Chain Saws

[fossil]

I am pretty sure I have one of those bars hanging in the rack with a 3/8 chain on it.

I will be home again Friday night and try to remember and have a look.

I'd sure like to hear how you go about tuning that Dolmar rotary.

Come over sometime and I will let you have a go at it...

I appreciate it Mark, will look forward to hearing from you. In the meantime I'm gonna see what I come up with with the string trick.
I can't wait to see the look on the face of the guy at my saw shop when I go in and ask for 100 and something drive links of skip tooth. Lol. (There is really no big wood around here or a need for a bar this big around here)

The sprocket nose version of that bar on a Ten series is 106 drive links. Ron

You seem to be close Ron. I mocked up the bar and using a piece of string I calculated 107 drive links. I will wait to see what Mark comes up with and then go from there.

I passed by home quickly on my way out of town today, at first glance it looks like I have the same bar with 110 DL 3/8 .050 chain on it. I will pull it down Saturday to confirm.

I have a nice shop but to the life of me I cannot keep it clean and it drives me crazy. Right now I have 7 customers bikes, 2 of my brothers bikes, 3 of my own bikes, all my chainsaws and two of Ron's chainsaws in a 30X40 shop. Plus parts and equipment. Their is so much in there I can barely move around in there much less clean. At some point this summer I am going to take everything out of it and clean from end to end. But I said that last year...LOL That dose not count what I have in my personal garage. I need to have a yard sale and get rid of a bunch of junk.

If anyone needs a NOS 70 cc piston and cylinder I have one in the trading post. I'll gladly cut a deal if one of the regulars from this thread wants to buy it.

 

[djones]

What's it fit ??

 

[djones]

Just checked it out, now I know.

 

[heimannm]

2 broke -



This should answer your question.

I am calling it a 32" bar as that is what you have left after the clutch cover and the spike.

Thank you very much Mark!!! Super helpful!!

Wow have I missed a lot in the last few days. Wasn't getting any notices of new posts for some reason.

So has anyone pulled a piston from a PM8200? If so, how did you pop the circlips out? I see no way to do so except for creating a notch in the boss to get a pic underneath the clip for removal..., like a normal piston would have (unless it used circlips with ears, of course). I've never seen a piston with a captive circlip before.

I think if it were mine, I'd use the Dremel and make a notch just like you said

 

[astnmacgto]

Or if you have any small picks you would have to use two, one to hold the circlip in place the other to pry it out, I'm afraid though that you would ruin the clip getting it out

I just was given a McCulloch 3-25. It is the single button version. It is missing the air filter cover and the shroud around the spark plug as far as I can tell. It has a 25" engraved McCulloch bar. Is anyone in need of any parts?

I was a truck driver today so I only made a few cuts with a PM800. Brian did some cutting but I'm not sure what yellow saws he used. I don't have a count but I am told a bunch of wood was hauled out today. Had four tandem trailers working as well - loaded by the other half of the kids on level ground or hauled up from here with the CAT. They each made 4 to 5 trips for every one I made in the truck. 39 10th grade kids and five chaperons. All well behaved. No problems and no injuries.

A few non-MAC pictures for sawfun:

First load of the day with about half the kids from Florida.


Second load. First picture - truck is against a stump and ground too slick from two days of off and on rain for the truck to go forward. Drove out fine when loaded. Kids had to load back to front due to the incline.


Third load. Freshly made alternate route around stump.


All the kids posing with the fourth load.


No pictures of fifth and final load of the day.

I wish more of you lived closer. You would have a blast with your MACs and anything else you might bring. Brian's side by side got a workout ferrying folks and stuff from site to site.

Picked up a skip tooth Stihl chain for the new bar today. $50 at the local dealer[emoji15]!!! They tried to sell me a 1-50 for $100 when I told them what the chain was going on. Would probably give $30 but not $100 lol
