Nice pair looks good in silver

Just picked up this one

Man that total super bar looks killer on that saw. I like that brushed raw metal look, I'd like to find one of those for a 10 series

 

[Al Smith]

Easy enough to do .Just take a bar and attack it with a belt sander .

 

[heimannm]

Interesting saw AJ, do you have any information on it? I have a Pro Mac 61 that looks similar but certainly not the same saw.

Mark

 

[ajschainsaws]

It hasn’t arrived with me yet , but yes it looks similar to the 61
Iam hoping it’ll be the same sort of oil pump

Well she's a screamer it was hesitating found out that the new style composite type fule filter was like porus plastic instead of the felt then I gave it the old one and it lit up like a crazy screaming machine I'm surprised it's pulling the 32 inch 404 bar without to much of a problem

A trio of PM 610's On the left my fathers that I inherited which is slightly enhanced .Middle mine which I ran the pizz out of .Right my sons that I replaced the coil on which is a little later in production than the other two

That must be one strong table!

Wow, Mac Italiano came up with some strange names for saws. I figured it would have a surfboard fin on top or something!

 

[ajschainsaws]

Yeah there are , also there’s so many models with numbers that you’ll never remember in a month of Sunday’s

This one showed up the other day, I now have a Mini MAC 160S added to my collection.



I thought I'd give this one a thorough cleaning and inspection.


In the process I discovered the clutch cover was broken so I've pulled a replacement down from the attic. I will get it put back together tomorrow. It's a shame it won't have the UL sticker from the original, or maybe I will try to transfer it. Does anyone have a secret formula for getting decals & labels stuck down again?

This one also came in just today. I saw it on e-Bay and thought it looked red, as you can see it is very orange. There are no markings that I can find to indicate how it was branded but the model number is certainly McCulloch.

Mark, I use heat from a torch on the back side of the decal to remove it from the saw part and then hopefully there is enough sticky stuff left to put it on the new part. Don't get it blazing where it damages the paint but just warm enough to make it come off easily. I did that for the af decal on my 6-10. It worked pretty well for that.

I can send ya some pressure sensitive liner from work. It's what we use to make stickers. You could cut to fit.

 

[Dub11]

It's pretty much a layer of sticky between 2 peices of wax paper.

 

[heimannm]

I will try some heat to remove the UL sticker and as Steve says, hopefully it will have enough sticky to reuse.

Dub - I would like to have a bit of that on hand it it's not too much trouble. I have a few decals/labels coming off and would like to try to stick a few back down again.

No problem just PM me your address and I'll get some to ya. We have couple different sizes the biggest being 11.5" wide. I'll send you some of that. And it's no trouble at all, these are stub rolls to short to go back on the press.

McCulloch was so vast in what they made for decades it's nearly impossible to fully know about all the models produced .Then factor in the off shoots sold by others to further complicate things .
