Picked this Mac up today. It runs great but is missing the air filter cover and a few other parts. Other than the missing air filter cover is there any way to find out what model it is?

Either your saw is extremely rare, or your photo images are reversed as very few saws have the bar on left...

Flip it over and there should be a model number stamped in the bottom of the crank case, most likely a 1-7X of some sort.

Are you close to Knoxville?

Looks like a full wrap handle possibly?

Full wrap was the standard issue on the Super series models, finding a 1/2 wrap was the exception.

44 Models



1-70 models, this happens to be a 1-72



The 700 model saws were equipped with an automatic oil pump mounted on the top of the oil tank. This one is a 795.



The CP125 and SP105/125 saws were also equipped with the full wrap as standard kit.

1-76 stamped into the bottom but right below it is an 86 stamped into it with a a stamp crossing it out.

I'm about an hour southeast of there. We were just up there last night.

1-86 is a gear drive. They used the same engine block.

Ok that makes sense then thanks

 

[sawfun]

That does not look like a gear drive. I believe I have seen a picture of a saw like that and someone made a comment that it was an Australian version with the bar on the right.

Photos are reversed on accident

McCulloch frequently produced the blocks to go into either a direct drive or a gear drive saw. When it reached production, you simply struck through the model it did not become. They couldn't decide on this one if it was going to be a 1-76 or a 1-86...finally it was the 1-76 direct drive saw.



The 1-76 is a 99 cc direct drive brute.

Thank you for the information. I accidentally started collecting vintage Macs over the last 2 years. I have about 8 of them now.

I have three main areas to disguise them for when i had a wife.
No wife anymore,i am kinda worried whats going to happen

 

[mogulmasher]

My wife let's me have any many as I can hide too!

 

[heimannm]

My wife went up in the garage attic looking for some lights this spring...she didn't even stutter later on and if fact seems rather proud of the number of saws I have on hand.

Of course, she hasn't seen the stockpile I have stored temporarily at my sons place.
