MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[Squareground3691]

I was kind of surprised how not very far behind the 80 my 7-10 is.

Man those are some beautiful saws! Hopefully a sp 81 will be the next saw I get!

There my favorite 70cc ,

Yeah I don't think a stock 372 would be cutting 40 inch hard wood.

I actually meant in the Mac series, Lol you can have the PM700 , I’ll take the 7-10,

The mac cp70 is a powerful saw to !

Yes, but it's no 7-10. The CP-70 is basically a 6-10 in an antivibe chassis.

Agreed. The pm700 shines with a longer bar over the 7-10 but all the extra weight the pm700 is packing definitely makes the 7-10 king of the ridgid 10 series saws.

Look for a pm850. You can thank me later!

Thanks for the advice. The pm850s are not very good looking saws! I found a cheep sp80 that I'm going to buy if the SOB with the sp81 I'm trying for doesn't get back to me soon.

What good is a smoking hot woman if she absolutely terrible in bed and can't cook?

I've bought around 14 125C projects over the years and only one of them had a good cylinder in it.

The plating that Mac used for those just didn't stand up as well as more modern saw cylinders. It was
a great design and the "C" cylinders make good runners though.

If you have a125C housing I'm in need as mine broke off just above the muffler.

Yup

Well each to there own as they say.

 

[the 28inch mac man]

HI, I have a question for all yall out there. I have a mac bar that is 37.5 inch or something like that. Anyway mcculloch called it a 40 inch bar. It has super pro on it and is a roller nose. Do any of you know what the drive link count on this bar would be? My 440 that it is going on has a 404 drum on it. It shore is a sweet looking bar!

 

[heimannm]

Yes, that is a PM55 with the black fuel tank. I put a new piston and cylinder on that one and it is also a ripper but it cannot hang with the 7-10.

The full wrap bars I had made are wide enough to accommodate the chain brake covers but the clutch covers must be modified to clear the wrap bar.

PM700, long clutch cover only requires a slight modification. In reality you can add the clearance needed with a file and it can be much less severe that what's shown below.



The short clutch covers require more substantial modification.

Progress on the 797 project today.





The soak in Mean Green also did a lot to loosen up the baked on crud, cylinder looks pretty good now.

Which housing, the cylinder shroud?

Yes
