Since I was a little kid, my dad has been cutting wood with his McCulloch Super Pro 81e. I've used the saw myself many times, but I don't have a fireplace, so I didn't have a good reason to own a saw of my own.
That's all changing. I'm moving to a place with a wood stove, so I figured I should buy a saw. To that end, I bought a McCulloch Super 250 in unknown condition on eBay for $100. Lucky me, the saw runs, kinda. I have some carb and tank cleaning to do, and maybe some nice yellow paint.
In the meantime, though, I wanted to get some opinions from folks here who run these saws. Am I looking at the same kind of experience with the 250 as I had with the 81e? Also, the 81e runs a 32" sprocket nose bar without hesitating. Can I get away with that on the 250?
