Vintage saws used regularly

Here or eBay.

That bow could have easily killed me. Fortunately my father taught me to stand to the side. Threw the saw over my head with my right arm completely outstretched. Only busted all my left hand knuckles and cut one on the chain deep enough for stitches. Ring finger used to noticeably overlap my pinky enough to serve as an ever present reminder. Last few years I have been stretching my pinky so the overlap is now similar to my right hand. Kind of wish I left it alone as I need reminding how quick things can go wrong with a chainsaw and inattention. Ron

Wow crazy story, that's good advice your dad gave you. Have you had anymore close calls with a chainsaw using a standard bar?

 

[rwoods]

Not really from the saw, but a few from what I was cutting. Ron

That's good. Pro mac 800 parts are scarce on ebay, where would I get parts for mine, like the rubber mounts, gaskets etc? Any secret source you have?

 

[rwoods]

I just get the part number from the IPL and google "McCulloch" with the number.

You should check out the MAC sticky in the chainsaw forum and ask your questions there. That is where the knowledge base resides. I am just a pip-squeak.

That's a pretty picture of the mountains, where are you located? Impressive your girl friend operating that big saw.

I live in British Columbia, Canada. That picture was taken up near Whistler. She's run a few of my large saws, they are pretty manageable once they are in the wood. Getting her to stand to the side and remember to manually pump the oil is the harder part.

Thanks I'll definitely check that out Rob. Give yourself more credit about the Macs and by your pictures you definitely know how to run em. But humble is cool.

Hey ML12 I hear you on that, but be thankful none the less. My wife wouldn't touch a chainsaw, and gets aggrivated with my fondness of them. I tell her you just don't understand how us guys brains work, we like tinkering with stuff and love running power tools.

One of my Power Mac 6s sawing. I have 2 of them (Thanks Ron) and use them a lot.

Playing at the wood lot with Ron. Ron was just about down because of the heat. I am unsure what Ron was using I think a 140 and I was using my 10-10 Pro.

Ron flooding out his saw.

My other passion. Trying to get Ron to go out with us but have not been successful as of yet but one day I will get him out there. He wants to but I think wife would kill him...lol

 

[rwoods]

If not by her, then by some idiot on the road. Either way I'm a goner.

Of course, if we play with saws again under those same conditions, heat stroke will get me. You kept on me, but I didn't know how bad off I was until I saw the videos. I'll listen better if there is a next time.

rode all my life. never been on a wing. was lookin pretty quick toward the end there.

I helped a buddy out today with some down trees on his property, ran the McCulloch Pro Mac 10-10 and the Homelite XL Super. He told me I could have the wood if I cut it up, it will be good firewood once split and seasoned.

 

[Dawkins20]

Finished bucking it up using my Pro Mac 10-10, such a good running saw. Really enjoy using it, I got it off Craigslist for $35 bucks and it was barely broken in.

I only use the old ones to play with, I gave a friend an old Homelite C5 that he uses to mill with, Joe.





This is one of my Homelite Super 1050,s, I use a Stihl 660 to mill with now.
