Sold Mcculloch sp125 for sale

[McLeach]

I've got a mcculloch sp125 for sale. It runs for sure! Bucked up a few big rounds last fall, but I haven't used it much. When I bought it, I put that 48" bar on it, new sprocket, chain guides, muffler, dogs, filter.... its been a long time, don't remember it all.

Anyway. I feel bad that it sits for so long. There's lots of you guys here that would put a lot more love into it. And these saws deserve that.

It doesn't have gas in it at the moment, and I'm not going to put any in there. I did take video of it running in last august tho.

I dont really want to post a jackass price, or cut myself short either. I can’t part with er for less than 1000 though. My reasoning there is that not even a brand new saw for that price will keep up with it. Heh, and won't sound as good either!

Let me know what you folks think.

No I dont have 10 posts. I felt it was fair to post if I paid to support. Plus I'll be on here for a while as I build my hot saw anyway. Hope to meet some cool folks on here.

I'm an engineer/machinist/chainsaw-whore, so you know what you can expect.

Fair enough. You ok with shipping on top of that? Not sure what It'll be. Havent looked that far into it yet. Would be coming from post falls Idaho. I've got a guy that can print me out ups labels with his company account. Makes it waaay cheaper.

Sounds fair to me.

Well, all the way across the country it is. I'll look into it and get back to you as soon as I can. I'm gonna be out the rest of the day today and tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'll get a hell of a box made for it.

Sounds like a plan. Thank you.

Are you able to measure the bore etc? Looking for a little verification it’s a real 125 as the fan cover is for a 105. Ty

 

[McLeach]

Yeah, I can. Interesting. Never heard of a 105. If I remember correctly, one of the old original stickers that was on it indicated it was a 125 with the iron sleeve. Is that the easiest way to check? Didnt really want to pull anything apart.

Easy enough to measure the bore, Remove the muffler, bring the piston down to uncover exhaust port,
use a plastic coffee stir stick, stick in the cylinder to the opposite side bring piston up just enough to
make a mark on the stir stick and measure it.

@Wildman1024 is correct on the fan housing as it is correct for a CP125 or SP105. The all black fuel
tank is what was used on the SP105's as well. be nice to confirm before selling. JMHO

 

[McLeach]

Good gravy, I cant believe I didnt think of that. I just immediately thought of calipers or some other kind of precision measurement.

Oh, and yeah, that is not the original paint, if thats what you were going off of. I'll take pics of the port too, so you can see the condition.

Thanks for the info Lee. Look forward to the results.

I measured the bore through the exhaust port with the depth gage on my calipers. Back of the cylinder wall to the edge of the piston. Got 2.325 inches. Sounds a little large? I dont see how I could've messed that up. The model profile says 2.28

I'm pretty sure it doesnt have an iron sleeve. I could not see any material transition, seam, or color change there.

On the bottom of the saw where the block casting numbers are, what are the numbers? Also the chrome bores tend to be very shiny as compared to the steel ones.

 

[McLeach]

Is there another location to check?

 

[rwoods]

A magnet will tell you if it is iron. Ron

Any numbers on either side of that round casting tab? Also it looks like maybe there is a number on that tab. A number there can denote an overbored size.

 

[McLeach]

Thats the only marking in sight without taking things apart

 

[sawfun]

You don't need to take anything apart. Unless the case was replaced, it should have some numbers stamped into it.
