Any of the McCulloch 10 Series would certainly be a good choice; 10-10 @54 cc, 10-10S or PM55/550 @57 cc, SP60 or PM60 @ 60 cc, 4-10, 5-1, 6-10, 7-10 or PM 700 @70 cc with a rigid mount or CP70/SP70 for 70 cc anti-vibe, SP80/81/81E/PM850, PM800/805 are all common anti-vibe 82cc saws that will impress you today.

Poulan 3700 and 5200/5400/8500 are also quite impressive. Pay no attention to Modified Mark, he is just trying to keep all the non-McCulloch saws to himself.

Love how it looks like it's made of Legos HAHA!

Joking aside, all these old macs just look built tough. Kinda like if you ran it over, youll still make it home with a truck full of wood, just with your spare tire on.

Alpina made excellent pro saw's
Pro 41 45 55 540 600 70 90 super pro 120.

Have yet to see an alpina around here. I'd like to get one just to show it off at a gtg

70's. Poulan 5200. Lightweight, Good AV, vertical cyl, great reed valve power for long bars, easy to work on.

80's Poulan 8500, same as the 5200 but with improvements, like a better air filter.

90's Poulan Pro 655. Awsome power, durable and good handling

 

[Sportfury70]

I've been searching for poulans and macs so far, only seen a bunch of wild things and eager beavers. The 10 series and other larger models are out there, but the sellers seem to think price inflation applies to used equipment too...

No Alpinas, but I did see a cool Ford branded chainsaw. Wonder who made that?

 

[Sportfury70]

There is a Super XL for $50 that "runs". I'll email and see if he'll let it go for 20 or 30

 

[Sportfury70]

Here's that Ford saw. Pretty neat.

Many farmers seem to have more disposable income than most chainsaw collectors.

That maybe because collectors who are not farmers can't deduct there collector saws off their taxes as a farm expense. Just sayin

 

[Sportfury70]

Oh man my dad would love to have a matching Massey chainsaw.

Wonder if New Holland ever did one too.

[Modifiedmark]

The list can go on for ever.

Very true, and no list of great 70's and 80's saws can be complete without the Poulan S25 or the Partner 500/5000 on it.

 

[Modifiedmark]

Not that I'm aware of. New Holland was not the big player they are today back in the 70'S

Sachs Dolmar 112, 119, 120 is going have to fit in there somewhere.
I have owned one of just about everything then built, and these saws perform and last.

Those are excellent saws IMHO, I still use a 120SI for all my firewood duties. Easy to work
on, More power than there competitors size for size in that era. I still have quite a few of
them. 112, 114, 119, 120SI, are what I have currently. Need to find a nice clean 117.

Love the 116si...120si
6000i 6800i all great saws ...Just don't run mine enough...ps. I like to flood them starting if its been a while ..

 

[Sportfury70]

Lol it seems like all dolmars flood. I always forget to flip the kill switch and after just a pull or two that dang thing is saturated.

What was the predessesor to the 7900?
