SELLING John McCloskey(Nixon) Saw estate sale

[Firewood Hoarder]

@HumBurner I think that's awesome!

 

[PA Dan]

Do parts readily interchange between the ProMac55 and 555? I know it followed the 55 immediately.

I have no idea on that. Maybe we could get the resident expert to share some knowledge? @heimannm

 

[Hoser]

Is the 555 not an ignition coil instead of points and condenser?

 

[heimannm]

The PM555 were transitional saws, early models were points and later models were electronic. A 12- prefix on the serial number should indicate a later model with electronic ignition but keep in mind many parts were interchangeable.

Mark, was the 555 what morphed into the 10-10S?

 

[heimannm]

Who knows for sure what McCulloch was doing...the PM55, 555, 570, and 10-10S were all 57cc models with the same bore & stroke but there were porting differences, different pistons, and different ignitions. Early models had round exhaust ports and no pinned rings, later models like the 10-10S were strictly pinned and seemed to be the best performers. That said, I have a PM55 with a fresh piston and cylinder, points ignition, and that saw is a ripper.

Thanks Mark!

 

[Bill G]

None of my business but it would be interesting to see what the total number of pure wheat waffles is so far.

 

[PA Dan]

Somewhere around 260 waffles so far. Be nice to hit the 300 mark!

 

[jacktheripper]

Any updates?

I just ran the Mac 555 and 10-10. Both ran great. Video will be up and posted later today probably.

 

[PA Dan]

[PA Dan]

The Mac 555 is missing this handle piece.
