Hello all, found this forum because I just bought this vintage chainsaw for $30 today at an antique store. I don't know much about it other than it is a McCulloch 4-30a. Has compression, havent checked it for spark but im gonna see if i can get it running tomorrowView attachment 631924 View attachment 631925

Welcome! Love the old McCulloch emblem, wish they had kept it

Good looking old 4-30 you found there! I also spy what appears to be an 028 on the floor there and maybe a Sears there in the background? You better watch hanging around here or you might catch CAD lol

Bar is too long for an 028... Maybe an 038?

Looks like a Homie, yellow starter handle.

I think you were referring to my pic..if yes I think everyone is right. I did put a 25" bar on the 028. Worked fine but only in the soft woods. Maple and walnut etc.. I'd break out the heavy artillery. Lost one of my 028's to a thief.. Sure wish I could catch one of our assholes. Down to couple 031's , an 042 , and my newer limbing Stihl 017. That's as far as the Stihls go. Cheers. K

I have a couple J. D.'S I think.. I'm not up on them info wise, but I think one is a rebranded echo. The other is much older I think. I'll get a couple pics off to ya (not when I find, but if I find em).. Everything is for sale, but it must be a generous offer for my dogs. I've discounted the wife twice and still no takers. Cheers, K

Have fun with that, some time 50 to 60% off and still no sale. Market must be flooded with them

The oldest john deeres were made by remington if im not mistaken and they were the traditional deere green and yellow, after remington then it was echo for a long time. Then after they bought homelite in 1992 they started using Homelite for their saws, then when they sold homelite and until here recently they used EFCO, now I dont think they make saws at all anymore.

Nope, our Deere dealer only carries Stihl. We've got two Stihl dealers about one mile from each other.

Come to think of it.. I have one of each.. Bar on one does say Remington. Cute damn thing.. I think my power Kraft says Remington also.. I gotta get dressed and look now. See what you started
