660 gear drive with 2:0.1 ratio. Atkins 1/2" chamfer chain. This saw screams, lots of power .

1-76 in nice shape with replacement block . 99cc saw I got off Craig's list for 30 bucks. One of my better deals. Love running this saw...

4-30A runs excellent. These are my favorite type saws to run . I made up a loop of McCulloch SL .500" chain for it. Added the hockey mask . Just a neat old saw. Macs are my favorite as you can see...

I got lucky and found 3 of those big old spikes for the early saws Like 49, 4-30, 77, etc... I have one on my 1-81HD and several on the large frame Macs. They aren't too hard to find but the early ones are tough. I love jabbing them in a log they come in handy for an anchor fulcrum...

Early model 73 number 570 in great shape. Still has original air filter housing, 34" bar wearing a loop of JJ chain never seen a file, big old H&S spike, also has updated head, piston with chrome ring and updated crank. Runs like new. Hard to find those longer bars.

1-81HD with an old McCulloch roller Mac bar and 1/2" McCulloch pro chain.Missing the ID plate dangit but it is the real deal. I've torn it all the way down and it has all the parts an HD should have. It's a screamer... Nice spike too...

Homelite 990D, 112cc direct drive. Great saw could use a longer bar. Has 200psi and pulls hard. Love this series saw.

Homelite 900G project saw. Sold to me as great condition, nothing wrong with it... Doesn't look bad in the pics but it has parts missing, cracked handle, wallowed out holes, a few cracks, missing muffler. If anyone has a muffler to spare please contact me!! It's fixable, has around 170psi. Can't wait to fix it up and run it one day but it needs work... These are great old saws...

Most of the big saws were used until worthless and jammed into sheds.
The 900 series Homelites were the best of the breed. The 900G I used pulled 9/16'' full chisel on a 72'' bar quite well.

The Super 250, last in a long line of 87cc McCullochs. Mine is setup for second growth Redwood, I set the spikes like Ahab.

Yep everyone always speaks highly of those Homelite 900 series.
And I love my Super 250. I've got one I use quite a bit with McCulloch Pro .404 chipper. Really sweet running saw and seems to want more the harder I lean on it. Just like the 660. I prefer the chipper on the wood I cut around here just much smoother in the cut. I got lucky and found 50 some feet on CL several years back. .058 .404 chipper isn't easy to find. Haven't seen any sense now I think about it.

Good looking saw... one of my favorites. What's your serial number I track these to see the spread of numbers out there . For over 55000 made you rarely see any over serial 10000 if that...

27xx can't remember the last 2 digits but when I get home I will let you know. I also have never seen anything in that model past 10000. Makes me question the 55000 that mcculloch has on there records. There kinda hard to find considering that there was that many produced.
 
These must have been heavily used and abused , worn out , trashed as you don't see many. Then we have the 77 that's much harder to find. Can't find any records for production so far. I have 2963 and that's the highest I've seen so far. I know of around a dozen 77 saws or a tad more. Seen a lot more 73 saws but still not one you see everyday. One guy that lives on the west coast said 73's are easy to find. Then others say you never see them so it all depends on what part of the country your in.
