MCCULLOCH The official McCulloch thread

[Grant_J]

I have a near nos 20 inch hard nose mcculloch bar that I use to run on my 10-10. If that is some thing you would be interested in let me know.

I'd be willing to take a look at it.

I really appreciate the offer, but I am still on the hunt for a roller nose.

Check out chainsawsnparts on ebay. He has sold a lot of nos 20 and 24 inch roler nose windsor mcculloch bars recently for cheep.

I bought Oregon 20” RSN bars power cut? I think? For my Mac’s and they’ve held up well I think they were $80 each.
You can be a touch aggressive on the rakers but as Mark said they’re only 54-57cc.
Plus 10-10’s don’t have antivibe so try for a smooth chain versus a fast one

I will try to get a pic for you tonight. It would be $50+shipping sense it has bearly been used.

Much appreciated. Is it a 3/8?

54cc of animal power can handle agressive rakes ro problem.

200RSNHD176?

That is a good bar. Found it on amazon alongside this one:

200RNDD009

This is an Oregon Power Match, so a little more pricey.

 

[Hoser]

I believe so. One for sure is one might be a non replaceable roller nose. Being able to pump the oil to it in dry hardwoods helps bar life significantly.
I haven’t really had anytime for my Mac’s this year but I’ll check when I’m in the shop next.

Duke's has a bar and chain combo that might work:

THE DUKE'S BAR AND FULL CHISEL HARD CHROME CHAIN COMBO - 3/8" .050 72DL - $29.00

The 24" 81DL is $45.00

Found this 18" bar for my 10-10A. Seems to be a decent price for eBay.

Thoughts? Good fit or is there something better out there?

That bar is not a D176 mount. It will not work on your 10-10A. You need to have a D176 type mount, then the sprocket tip pitch of the bar has to match your PTO clutch drive pitch. .325 bar tip=.325 clutch drum sprocket pitch. .375 bar tip= .375 clutch sprocket etc. Honestly you should pull the clutch and check the sprocket anyway. Then you will know what pitch it is for sure. Clutch sprockets are a maintenance item. They wear out over time.

Thank you for the information.

200RSNHD176?

The Oregon bar is looking more tempting with these OEM prices across the internet. Thinking I might just go with it.

It will at least get you up and running while you watch for an OEM bar at a good deal. Heck, you can always repaint a bar to match the saw if you want.

You are a lifesaver. Perhaps I need to think outside the box a little more often.

Many of the old saw manufacturers provided bars with their name and/or artwork. These bars really made the whole saw/bar package look great. Problem was, after several days of cutting, the artwork on the bars typically wore off. Now you can recreate that look of a complete saw/bar package with...

No worries, I just saw a video where a guy did just that with an older rusty bar.

At about the 12 minute mark.
