    I don't know how many hours are on it, but we've used the devil out of it several times just at the charity cuts. Was it a HF engine?

    Yessir, I can always tell when the kids are excited to go somewhere - they wake me up by bringing fresh brewed coffee. That's hard to beat in my book. Enjoy!

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    CP 125 info? I have a friend looking for a CP 125. I told him finding one in running order would be near impossible and quite pricey, but he's still interested. If you have a line on one in running or non-running order I would be interested in finding out more about it. He runs a saw shop...

    Gritz, I've had a few of those little Craftsmans and worked on a few dozen. They are good little saws, IMHO. I still have one I keep handy for throwing in the back of my pickup "just in case". More often than not, a carb kit and fuel lines will put it back in running order. I prefer a 12"...

    Ummmm... You weren't serious about that being on your bucket list, right? Enjoy the trip and be safe!!

    Are you looking for a running saw or a project? Brand?

    Hmmmm. You haven't seen my basement, have you? At least in your garage you had a path... It's going to need the clutch, sprocket, both washers, sprocket bearing, and all the a/v mounts for sure. I put it in a box on the shelf for now. Too many other "Priority" projects to keep me busy for...

    P/C seem to be in good shape on the Poulan 3300. Compression was a little over 160 psi. The clutch is toast, no chain tensioner and I'm still trying to dig out the red RTV.

    That battery voltage thing would be absolutely fantastic! Once again, someone smarter than me ... :confused:

    Years ago when I worked crime scenes we would call back to the office and get someone to bring us the "good" 35 mm (actual film) camera and the "good" (VHS) camcorder to document the scene. If it was not too serious we used the Polaroid One Step (the one that shot the picture out when you took...

    Seems like a strong saw. Might be a tad heavy but not too bad. On a side note, I found an electric clutch for the old Craftsman Garden Tractor. It was also from the boneyard at my favorite shop. The wires are broken off at the metal case so I'll have to take it apart and repair them but...

    There are fewer and fewer of the "Old School" shops around. If you go to some of the newer shops to get a chain you need the brand, model, color, series, serial number, number of times the saw is used in a month and a permission slip. When you say "It's a 72 dl, .050 with .325 pitch and I want...

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    Just wanted to make a hit and run post to let ya'll know the old Macs are still appreciated. I picked this up at a pawn shop on Monday... With fresh fuel it starts, runs and oils as it should. The chainbrake is functional. The chain tensioner and one bar nut are MIA, but otherwise in...

    Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX GTG (Next GTG 08/27/2016 ) Fort Scott, KS

    Woooops!! Upon taking a closer look, it seems to be a 3300, which will be a 54 cc saw. Hmmmm, maybe I need to look a little closer or start wearing my glasses before I buy saws. I wonder what I overlooked at that shop...

    46 or 48 cc. It's either a 2800 or 2900, not sure just yet. I really only bought it for the plastics and the air filter. Those air filters are "Unobtanium". I assure you the 2800 you got from me is in Waaaaaaaaayyyyy better shape than this one. Pretty sure the Mac is 70 cc but haven't...

    Well, that looked better. Now let me see if I can do that with the Poulan pics...

    Okay, lemme try it this way ... The bar is marked "Stihl 7.83 and then 3003 001 9552".

    Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX GTG (Next GTG 08/27/2016 ) Fort Scott, KS

    And the winner is a Pro Mac 700 with working chain brake!! With fresh fuel it starts, runs, idles and oils as it should. The mixture is a touch rich but I'll have that tuned out before long. How much? I hate to say ... But since you asked ... $30 cash out the door. :rock:

    Okay, pictures from the latest pawn shop run. The first saw is a Poulan Farmhand. Initially looks pretty good: I figured I could at the very least use the filter and the plastic if the cylinder was toast. Upon closer inspection ... I haven't torn into it to know how bad the damage...
