Want to Sell McCulloch Collection

[Ancient One]

Downsizing the shop, the big old 1960's Macs have to go.

If any interest I will pull the saws out of storage and take photos & post.

No prices yet but price will be low for the whole lot.

Includes saws bars chains, a box of spare parts and the cherished big old McCulloch shop manual.

Best to sell to someone within driving distance of Port Angeles, WA, as it will be a pickup load. I have photos on the computer for some of them, here goes:

Two gear drives. 895 and 1-61. The 61 has original bar and chain, 1/2 inch pitch with lots of life left. Needless to say it is a very low hour machine.

895 last year milling some nice fir logs.

36 inch, have a 42

795

I thought I recognized that 895. She's a strong runner.

Yep a good old machine. Hate to sell it but I am 75 years old with prostate cancer. My chain saw days are over! Lost a lot of muscle mass and cannot start the big girls anymore even with the compression release.

Any bars?

Yep and chains too. Will have to sort things out.

Hopefully his health has not taken a turn for the worse

 

[sawfun]

Same here.

Same here as that was my old saw. It needed a prime shot to start, but ran like a top and I was lucky to be able to make a couple of cuts with it using a 60" bar in old growth fir.

I'm interested of still available. Thanks.

The seller hasn't been on this site since he posted these saws for sale.
Guess he's not a motivated seller.

 

[sawfun]

It sounds like he's pretty sick. Chemo or surgery on a 75 year old man can be rough. Saws are low priority if he is even able.

As sawfun said chemo is not a fun thing and saws are not at the top of the list of prioritries. If that is not the case then yes I would most certainly agree he is not too motivated. Things do pop up and I know that well............

You are correct, i just read this whole thread again and somehow missed that part. My heart goe's out to
the seller and wish him good health and a full recovery.

I am 79, have bone marrow cancer, and am attempting to talk myself out of buying them. Keep truckin', it ain't easy but it is possible to beat this disease. I am still alive, and was given a year to live, 34 years ago.
