McCulloch Chain Saws

[QUOTE="Looks nice Jerry. What bar mount have you got?

From what I know it's a D176 mount (the bar studs need an 8mm gap in the bar to fit on).

This bar is pretty much what I want - not sure what mount it is - does anybody recognise it and know whether it would fit on the 7-10A (assuming I just want it for my wall and dont care if the oiling holes line up properly etc) / how much effort required to make it fit? I realise I would need a .325 sprocket

How big are the bar slots on that bar?

Good eye! Chopper 1 maybe?
Yeah Chopper 1. I didn't look THAT close, just saw a familiar form with that ax.

View attachment 766695 View attachment 766696my dad bought his yrs ago at a co-op. The next one i bought off a neighbor 20yrs ago. The one on the right i bought at the flea market for $5.00! I think im good for awhile. Haha

Those are awesome & $5 for 1? That the one without the cleats?
Clean & working they kick ass. Just as an ax they work well with their shapes & weight. Nice haul.

Here was the Stihl saw I prettied up first...both saws given to me for free.

So that's what a clean Stihl looks like! Just got mine last weekend. It wasn't as cared for as yours lol.

Actually no. Thats the one in the saw photo, its my dads. Lost the hardware yrs ago. Replaced the handle also. The 5 dollar one is on the right. It still has the original handle. Faintly you can see the black "chopper 1" on it and it still has some white paint on the lettering. I use dads though. Its the only axe ive ever split with to be honest. I was probably 5 when he got it. Ill be 44 soon. It works so why change? Lol

Perfect little 2 saw plan you have now. is the 10-10 a runner? And yeah its down hill now for you hahaha welcome.

The 10-10 is currently in transit. Ebay Find. Description said it starts and runs fine. For $135 I don’t care if it runs or not. Lol. All about the Macs

8mm....

Getting charged import charges on international orders now which just adds insult to injury with the low value Aussie dollar....

Anyone got an Archer bar on a McCulloch that can post a picture...I really wanted the black bar with yellow McCulloch writing (even bought the stencil that failed - too sticky and marked up the paint underneath when removing) but I can only get 16" with .325 pitch so going to cost $150+ to change over...might have to settle for a more readily available option...I'm being pedantic but it's going to be on my wall for a long time so want it to not annoy me.

Well hopefully it does easy enough for parts to get it sorted if not. Haha you got it bad

Tore my uncle's PM700 down yesterday... I'm sure most of you already know this, but it was my first 10 series teardown. You have to completely tear the saw apart just to get the jug off!

Piston's scored on the exhaust side. Some aluminum transferred over to the cylinder but overall does not look too bad. If I can get the flake of aluminum off the cylinder and hone it up a bit, I think it would be usable. Not going to cut wood with it, just getting it running.

Little Jerry's post prompted me to make a video about 10 series bar mounts , I'm a litte irritated that it is only the D009 with a spacer suggested most of the time.

[Jethro 2t sniffer]

Nice videos man. Thanks for taking the time to do that. I use a D009 just cos I had it there

I don't mind , honestly everyone can use whatever bar they have but when I was poking around all the suggestions were for the D009 and really the k095 is closer with the 8.2mm no spacer required. So enjoy.

 

[Little Jerrry]

Thanks for posting that maintenance supervisor...I will have a lot more options now locally which is making my wallet a little happier.

I'm just starting to look it up - is KO95 another Husky mount or something different as looking up bar mounts on ebay is less fruitful than particular saw models

 

[Little Jerrry]

Ignore me, I was putting the letter O and not zero in the K095

NorthEast Tennessee MAC Report

Finally a little cutting. We abandoned Ash hill for now. LO is supposed to hire a dozer to pull remaining logs. Brian and I spent the morning cutting, loading and hauling red oak and a locust. This time Brian put in the seat time running loads to the lot while I got to spend some quality time with the 800 - about 4 tanks anyway. After lunch, Brian couldn't restraint himself any longer. He drug out his SP125C for a little action on a large down poplar. Too bad the lot doesn't want any poplar but it helped him work off a little lunch.

800 where it does best - nose down in hardwood.


First load out - just two pieces but wall to wall, side to side and front to back.


Brian with his 125.


Tried to catch the view but the 800 kept sucking in all the sun's rays.

That tractor is doing well. Looks like those logs will be rather heavy

Today i got another row done in the stack. Each row is 18" x 5ft high and 20ft long. Cut split and stacked. Im down to 2 more days. Ill be done for the winter at my house. I got out the pm700 today. It has a 22" partner roller nose bar and .375 chain. I put 3 tanks thru it. Ran great for me. I have to say it is a bit less than a 7-10. I know its been mentiined but today was certain. A 7-10 will out perform a 700. Like them both though. I also ran 3 tanks thru the 850. I find myself grabbing more and more. Its smooth fast and strong. Also lighter than other 82cc saws i have. I like that one! I am cutting all red oak the last 3 days and tomorrow. Till then...

It was. And they were. Had a 10’ long 2’ diameter log clamped in the grapple to keep the front wheels on the ground.

Like all processes, fixing the weak link creates new opportunities but also exposes the next weak link. Large trees brought bigger saw. Bigger saw brought even bigger wood. Bigger wood overwhelmed tractor. Bigger tractor brought bigger logs. Bigger logs are exposing weaknesses in trailer. Trailer mods are next project. Seems I never will get time to get back in the chainsaw lab to complete a couple special saws.
