Bolt cutters

The brake is stuck inside the hub. I had to take the tire off and work it loose last time it happened. I'll be greasing it a little better this time.

Brakes are over rated.

When in doubt power out!

Just remove the wheel seal,it will self grease then

Ok...now the carb is holding up the show.
It's been weeping fuel when sitting because the pump side plate was warped, with the largest gap right at the metering passage. Here's a pic of the gap after some sanding on the corners... it was way worse.


I decided to clip both alignment pegs off flush for resurfacing.


New set of alignment pegs and a good flat surface. Woohoo!!


I could have saved some time and grabbed a cover off a junk SDC but this one is original McCulloch and has the identification stamp.

Thank you @heimannm!!
The 3D printed dust cover you sent looks damn good.

I was able to put this thing in some big wood today with the 60" bar. It's set up with an 8 pin .404 full comp square chisel.

Frank, You get those off the bay? I seen them and almost called Greg to
make an offer but I just bought 4 bars from him two weeks ago. Those
are nice looking bars.
