McCulloch Super 44A (new updates)

[Sleeper]

Started this project quite a while ago. It got put on the back burner for some time.

We will start at the beginning, with notes of bearing and seal part numbers added. Maybe some other part numbers as well.

I bought it off of fleabay. Had lots of sawdust and saw chips all over and inside it. Would not turn over, found a bunch of crud stuck between the piston and cylinder head. Found bad crank seals and bad crank bearings.

New bearing numbers are 6203 C3, seals are 6640.

I used 3 seals, as that was how it came from the factory. The IPL shows a washer behind the flywheel to block crud from getting into the area where the points pushrod is.

My saw came with a seal fitted into the side casing there instead. Two on the flywheel (MAG) side, and one on the clutch (PTO) side. The ones on the flywheel side were one next to the crankshaft bearing, then there was the felt seal by the points pushrod, and then from there another seal outside of the felt seal. I will have to draw up a picture of what I am talking about.

Next, some pictures.

To make it easier for people see the pictures, you can click on the "picture" icon at the top of the block you are typing in and it will bring up a window to search to or just drop in the picture you want from your phone or your computer. I believe you can add five pictures per post so if you have 10 pictures, you will have to divide it between two posts. This helps with Google search, so if someone is searching for D44 or S44, then this image may pop up in their image search leading them here to your post.

It should end up looking like this:
