Holy Crap! Nice McCulloch 73 score Josh. For those that don't know.............There sits 7.3ci/120cc of gear drive McGoodness. I found a nice McCulloch 77 (the final version of the 73, with a different fuel tank, air filter, and 'carb system' layout) near Placerville, California a little over a year ago. CL score. Needed fuel system help mostly. Good compression and spark. Sent it to the one and only Mark H (in a trade) for him to work his magic on. It's a STRONG runner now and he's even raced it at a GTG. I miss it now, but am glad it went to Mark. Mark had his own thread on the saw a few months ago...

Did it look salvageable Dennis? There's a few of us that'd be interested in it if it is..................including some of us in California.

Treasure is worth money.

Sweet saw!
Hope she cleans up well!!!!!

 

[CM76]

Nice score Josh - that is a very nice Christmas present for sure!

Best of luck getting it completed and running again.

Regards,

Chris.

who leaves a 120 cc saw in the trash? you break my heart. go find it i need parts! haha

 

[amateur cutter]

Nice!!! wonder if I'll be able to hear it run from here?

 

[JoshF]

haha funny you say that. i was ice fishing on fletchers pond last year (those of you that dont know.. fletchers is good sized) and i started hearing this saw running and it was loud! stuck my head out and didnt see anybody near. got to lookin and you could just barely see this guy accross the lake cutting a hole with a little yellow blob that turned out to be a 700. i was so proud!

 

[amateur cutter]

Yep, those bad boys are loud, & they'll shake your fillings loose, but boy are they fun. A C

Yeah!...I think so. Wasn't really interested and was looking for scrap aluminum. Got tired of collecting that junk and most of the time it wasn't worth the shipping.

Oh I have been there,
Trying to rescue every saw can suck!
You end up go over it and spending more time then it is worth!

That's the truth. The poor thing's probably already been scrapped and will soon end up as a box of road flairs.....

Well next time you see a 73 in the pile... Grab it. Ill send you a shipping label and buy your lunch!:smile2:
