McCulloch Chain Saws

[PogoInTheWoods]

I never realized there were so many variations of that saw/design. Pretty interesting.

The 33 Series (33/35/39) saws were in production in one form or another for at least 9 years, I have IPL's from 1952 - 1961...

Didn't realize they had that long of a run. I never pulled the trigger on one for my little collection though they seem to be listed rather frequently on FB or CL in my area/region. Just saw a nice one listed today for $50.

You can really tell something about the USA at the time, from these saws that came with an attachment of every kind , it definitely says" don't worry I got this and I'm not gonna need help !"
Self sufficiency has dwindled or if you are it seems like your a weird survivalist (prepper) in the eyes of society.
Guys who came home from WWII must have loved these saws.

I have a 33??? I think setting in my shop with the carb off it. It has been that way for 2 years now. I need to get it together. It ran on prime. I was looking at it today. Maybe a new saw for Ron...LOL

You will have me on the Bultaco before you’ll have me running a 33 for work. Ron

Should go to a museum. A chainsaw museum...

I pulled the 5-10 down to the block tonight. Very very dirty, and people that use used engine oil for bar and chain lube should be beaten!
Need a muffler, recoil, dsp lever or a complete tank bottom. Probably should do the complete tank bottom, it has a hole in the airbox likely from a thrown chain, and the handlebar hole is stripped out.
Do the starter pawls look normal for.one of these? I've never had a RH start before. The recoil wouldnt grab right, but it is all messed up.

Paws are bent in.

 

[2broke2ride]

I thought they might be. I wonder if I can straighten them out.

Thats a good question, flat surface and hammer? Maybe heat, you can find them on ebay.
I broke a clutch for a righty I'll hunt through my boxes this weekend and see if I have a pair of them for you.

 

[2broke2ride]

I also want to do crank seals while it is apart. Who has the off the shelf numbers?

 

[vinnywv]

Before you do that my 6-10 clutch looks the same. No problems with it

 

[heimannm]

The clutch looks normal to me, that is the way the RH start saw pawls are.

I was gonna say, those are very uniformly "bent", are you sure?

I believe ive got that tank bottom you need. But before i commit i need to check. Im working this week days but im off the weekend. Ill check saturday and let you know. It may have the lever also. But let me look first.

PTO side seal is SKF 6119. The flywheel side varies based on the bearing, one matches the O.D. of the bearing and one presses into the extended outer race of the bearing. Just get the shaft and bore measurements and go to a good shop, they will be able to fix you up as either seal is a standard size.



The part number is suspect but the size perspective is correct.

That would be great!, keep me posted I'm not in a huge hurry on this.
