McCulloch Chain Saws

Tim - Looking as several IPL's it appears the Teflon washer was phased out in the mid 70's. IPL's from '73 show it, IPL's from '76 don't show it, other part numbers all remain the same.

If I remember (unlikely) I will look at some hard copies from '74/'75 and see what they show.

Thanks Mark. That's likely why a bunch are missing

Got a question for you Mac guys. I have found a Pro Mac 55 bow saw that runs but needs a muffler for $80. Is that a good price? I am unfamiliar with these saws. I have looked for a muffler and have not found one yet, so I'm sure that will be difficult to find. Anything else I should be worried about?

That price is way too high. Look for a 10-10 muffler like this one.

I think he meant the saw was $80, not the muffler.

I'm not sure what muffler the PM55 uses, but used ones should be plentiful and relatively cheap on fleabay.

I'm sorry, yes it's the saw that is $80. I haven't found a muffler yet. At least not one that says it's for a 55.

 

[Brian Thacker]

The 10-10 mufflers will fit the PM55. I have both and have changed the mufflers between them.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

So $80 Sounds fair?

 

[Brian Thacker]

If it is in good condition that would be a fair price.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Thanks again guys. As always you all are a big help!

 

[heimannm]

With a bow bar (if you like that sort of thing) $80 is a very good deal. Bow bars alone will often fetch $75 to $100 or more on e-bay.

The original muffler on a PM55 would have been the pancake style, but as Brian noted, any 10 Series muffler except for the 82 cc models will fit. The saw below has the pancake style muffler.

Gotcha. That's why I couldn't find one

 

[Brian Thacker]

There are several styles of mufflers out there. I have found they are all interchangeable. Some are louder than others, but they are all loud. That is just a Mac. This is only but a few, if you look at the pictures that Mark posted that saw has even a different style.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Well if the guy doesn't change his mind I will be getting it Saturday along with a 3400 Poulan bow saw.

I have a pancake style muffler off a pro 10-10 you can have for the cost of shipping. It's rusty but seems solid. PM me if you're interested.

 

[GeorgiaVol]

Thanks, I sure will. As long as I get the saw first. This would be my first real Mcculloch saw. I have a 3818 but I have been told that it doesn't count.

 

[heimannm]

No - the 3818 does not count any more than a Wild Thing counts as a true classic Poulan saw.

Did anybody see that bp1 sell on ebay this week, that went for way more than I figured it would. I've never actually seen one sell so I didn't know.

Picked it up today. Traded a PP saw for this one and a micro deluxe. This saw runs and is missing the muffler deflector. And is very dirty.
