    That is much neater than using a hose clamp like I did on my (now Ed's) SP40. Ron

    I need advice on felling large dead oaks

    Without being there, general advice is all you should expect. Taking specific advice over the internet could get you killed. That said, find someone local with expertise to view your situation. With 40 or more dead trees, I suspect that your overhead danger is much more than just the limbs...

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    Too true. A friend who ran my first SP125C at a GTG called me one day all excited. He said he had stumbled over the biggest McCulloch that he had ever seen, and he thought I would want to check it out for possible purchase. His excitement was contagious, so I took the time to track it down...

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    Though my experience is rather limited, I previously reported an incidence where an interchange of cases would not seal. I recall it was a DE80 crankcase to a PM800 cylinder. I recall that someone else posted an issue with a DE80 case. Probably both machining flukes; I have had no other...

    Ed, that is the o-ring I replaced years ago when it first leaked. Ron

    Show us your stumps!

    FWIW All of my old large McCullochs have full wraps. I converted one of the 82cc to a half wrap. Used it a few tanks and put the full wrap back on. I bought a 500i when they first hit the east coast. I wanted the 3/4 wrap set up but they weren’t available. I pretty much fall similar sized...

    Merry Christmas to all! May you have a Happy New Year as well! Ron PS. The only saw under my tree is a toy 500i for my 3 year old grandson who uses sticks to pretend he is cutting. He would have gotten a MAC if only there was one available.

    Horning in on the compression question, my PM 700 ran well at 135 psi. My 165 psi PM 800 runs decent with the DSP MIA. Of course, I don’t intentionally run it that way. Ron

    So do I. I’ve been sidelined with a knee injury and a family medical issue since early October. Hope to get back to cutting soon. Ron

    Ed, I believe you are referring to Raynaud's disease. Apparently, you can get secondary Raynaud's disease from using vibrating tools. According to Mayo's secondary Raynaud's is more serious than primary Raynaud's...

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    May just be me - I have always enjoyed running OPE. The handle vibrations from old push mowers and a walk behind Gravely would practically put my hands to sleep as a kid. The only street bike I ever owned was a Yamaha 650. Once you hit 45 mph it would vibrate like crazy. I took it on the...

    McCulloch Chain Saws

    As many know, I basically parked my 700 a few years ago due to hand issues with the vibrations. I could barely do one tank before I would have to quit. Well, we came to an understanding through heavy gloves and intermittent use - cut a little, tractor a little. I had some hand cramping...

    North East Tennessee MAC Report Still getting a bit of rain in North East Tennessee so temperatures have not been too hot. Mostly tractor work today. I was asked to cut up a large pecan that had fallen as a result of wet ground and the wind. I decided to use my 700 now that it has a fresh...

    Make sure the bottom of the a/v mount is tight with the tank and no leakage there. Ron
