Interesting, manual oiler delete.

The oiler is now automatic and someone welded the steel bracket of the upper handle

Free 028. Needs some love but p&c look good.

Not enough that I got the saw almost as a gift, the guy takes the instructions after 45 years / I would like to take it after another 50 years ;-)

Hey Guys,

Got this today, a nice McCulloch 850 today. Changed the recoil assembly from my SP81 to this 850 becuase it needs the recoil replaced. Checked spark which was bright blue, poured some 2 stroke fuel down the carby and away it runs.

It's not the cleanest saw I have seen, but once I give it a good clean up it should be fine. I paid $100 AUD or $74 USD

Cheers Justin

Nice find! Made any progress with the cleaning as of yet? Best, Max.

Hi Max,

Yeah gave it the once over, but it didn't come up as good as I wanted.

I changed the recoil assembly over with another unit I have here until the new recoil spring arrives. A few pulls with some fresh fuel and away it runs. It could do with a carby kit to make it really sing but still for $100 AUD I cannot complain.

Cheers

Justin

I purchased these two beauties in Maine, for $50. The Stihl needed a new fuel line, and the McCulloch needed some carb work. Both run now, but need their carburetors tuned.

Free pile find. Either an 056 or 045. It runs, but needs some parts.

Client gave me these two for free yesterday, as well as homemade cookies and veggies.

a power Mac 31 0 and one I don’t know yet.

 

[Woodslasher]

The mystery saw is a McCulloch 33/35 I think

 

[HumBurner]

Right on. I’ll search around this weekend and see if I can find any info on It or any markings inside.

Thanks for the starting point!

If anyone wants the power Mac I’d give it away for shipping only. Has some white death on the metal and may or may not be usable.

I got a new saw. The deal isn't as good as it looks. The dealer owed me 350. Still though if you do the math I came out good with the saw and a 24 bar.

Think that might be a " your dealer suxs"?post.

 

[NvrDwn]

New 572 with a 24 for 1025 otd? That's not bad around here.

Like this, especially when he owes him 350.00$

Your area is different than mine. Prices are not across the board.

 

[jollygreengiant]

Not sure if this is a "you suck" deal but I thought it was pretty good. Got the saw, toolbox, and everything in the toolbox for $150 CAD.

You can be fairly sure the previous owner looked after it.
