McCulloch Chain Saws

[Maintenance supervisor]

Great video. Glad you left the saw. Even your best saw isn’t worth testing your hat. After watching the video, I bet you will run a little further next time. I rarely get to watch my trees fall. Ron

What do you mean ? My heads the hardest part of my body!
And yeah all saws are replaceable.

Other then some filing on the Stihl bar I got the oiler on and torqued down will get the rest put together tomorrow or this weekend.

Looking good. Make sure you check for leaks. I have had swapped cases not match up though most seem to be interchangeable.

But that hard head is attached to your neck. I for one would miss your posts. Ron

I know you've got a little guy so time is precious but dont hesitate to call someone about something like that, you can trade work or something. Alot of older people just need something done but its a trade off of time. My first pickup truck was paid for by planting 7 trees , 1977 d100 club cab.
I don't necessarily get paid to cut trees aka I'm salaried so its the same amount no matter what im doing. I do know that 3 tree jobs over here would pay for that saw though.

Good advice there I appreciate that and yeah dead right it is worth asking especially people with land and machinery as a welder/and a man on the end of it is always handy.

I'd miss his posts too but I'm sure he was pulling our legs

I recently worked with my Engineer friend and have another part now available. This is the handle insert for the SP105/125.

How about some a/v mounts? The machine shop that I gave my a/v cores and my prototype spring mount to several years ago recently closed. Last week they gave me the cores back but the prototype spring is AWOL.

Is polyurethane fuel resistant? They wanted the cores to rebuild with polyurethane thinking it would be easier and cheaper than my spring.

No doubt he was. Ron

Chemical resistance varies between polyurethane formulations. In general: Polyester type polyurethane is more resistant to oils, solvents, and weak acids/bases.

 

[rwoods]

Thanks. I got some scrap aluminum stock from the machine shop. I may take a run at making a mold. May have to ask Brian to use his oven to cure them as I like it here.

Question about PM700. I have 2 and just realized that they both have black flywheel cover/recoils but one of them has a yellow oil tank cover and clutch cover whereas on the other one those are black. Were the color differences merely because they are different ages or is one of them bastardized? Other than those differences they appear to be the same.

 

[mogulmasher]

You never know with Mac diesel freak. It's probably just differences in years, but they could have been using up left over parts too. Or it could be bastardized as well. I had a pm700 that I swapped black side covers onto.

Possibly black oiler was a replacement but most likely just a newer saw, just put a black oiler on my PM850
my old oiler was yellow I always assumed it was off a DE80 or PM805 but not sure what color they came with
so just guessing. Pretty sure someone will chime in and we'll both know

I also thought about painting mine but didn't see the point if I ever sell the saw will just throw in the old one

Got the PM800 back together today just have to put the clutch on, question when putting on the clutch
is it spacer then dust shield. Thanks

Pretty sure it’s spacer first. I think I had that problem putting the 850 back together. You’ll find out when you go to put the clutch on lol.

edit: I went and looked at the 850 and it’s hard to tell but I think it’s spacer 1st

Picked up this little 10-10 on the local buy sell trade. At least that’s how it was advertised.....


But something didn’t look quite right. Is that a decomp valve? And that isn’t a 10-10 muffler


Pop the hood and lookie here. #s say it’s a 7-10A
