SOLD MCCULLOCH SP81E WITH A FRICKED TOP END -- OTHERWISE CHERRY

[Duke Thieroff]

Missing top cover / air filter / gas cap

Looks like straight gas, transfers on intake and exhaust. LOL, I hate that this thing is smoked.

Also have an SP80 carcass that's smoked too...

Maybe like to trade for something vintage or cool for my shelf?
Cash welcome too

Whatscool for a shelf? Another McCulloch or something odd?

That's no SP81, it looks like a PM850 to me. That funky tin footrest is a dead giveaway. @Scott Kelsey

The only saws I collect are sand cast Poulans, and 2 series Husqvarnas.

What's the allure of the sand cast for you?

I've never had one

Welp....when Glenda and I were first wed, we had very little money. And I needed a chainsaw. Just happened that one night at an auction, they sat this old sand cast saw up and asked for bids....nothing. So they threw a few tools up with it. Still no bids. Then they sat a tool box up too. I bid 10 bucks. Won it too.

The damn thing made my ears nearly bleed, but it cut firewood that winter. The next year I bought an 028, and evidently pitched the Poulan in the trash. Can't remember where it wound up.

So....when I got interested in saws all these years later, the sand cast saws became of interest to me. They made a blue million different versions. I mostly collect gear drive versions or ones with bow bars. Just an oddity.....

Thanks for sharing about that....guess I'll have to grab one when it pops up.

Ain't it something about how a machine like that can have an impression on ya after falling into one and chucking it?

I was at a gtg in Virginia years ago, and there was a fella there with a bunch of great running sand cast saws. The gear drive saws were unstoppable. That really helped my desire to collect them I believe.
