Poge,
It is pin #7. When it is loose then the latch doesn't hold very well. I dinged the pin shaft up this last go around. It held for a while. I am going to try the adhesive approach recommend some posts back.

It is only the 800 and newer covers that I have had this problem. The old 700 works fine.

Thanks,
Ron
I've been using the orange gel type lock tight on some saw stuff and I haven't had any failures yet.

I think I have a long cover without any flag parts but its got pins if your interested, I'll toss it in the mail.
 
Off topic, but here goes:
1st what is the most common problem, or cause of the automatic oilers not working?

2nd I really feel the need to spend money for a pro Mac 850. I would assume anyone on this site who owns one is also wanting to keep it!
There is one on eBay right now. I would rather not do a bidding war with someone that's on this site.

Unless someone else on here has already started bidding on it and you've posted interest in it I highly doubt anyone here will snipe it.
And who doesn't "feel" like they should spend money on a 850 Mac?!

Go for it and good luck!

Yes there are 2 previous bidders. It seam a bit high to me especially on a saw of its age. Plus taking the sellers word it starts.

Thanks for the kind offer. I have several complete covers and just want to fix this one. It seems MAC parts, especially NOS parts, have gone from plentiful to somewhat scarce in the last few years so you might need to hang on to it.

Thanks, but your speaking a foreign language 🤔 what is O*P*E ? Some of you McCulloch gurus would actually prefer the 800 correct?
I just blew my overtime money. On the eBay 850. I think I could have held off and found one cheaper, buty wife was egging me on.
 
@Xpropane on O * P * E forum member @how57 had a pm800 that he offered me, you might see if he still has it.
Will the site allow you to tell me what he was asking for it, cause my wife said buy both and see which one runs better. She is not being a good influence right now.
