A recent acquisition..... the mint condition 21" hardnose bar & .404 chain that was included is hanging on one of my shelves. Produced 1961-65 thereabouts,this 7.06 cube/116cc beast had several features that were revolutionary for the time.The first & only saw produced that you could manually adjust the timing by moving a lever,helping you with much easier & faster starting,less kickback from the starter rope due to high compression.That white lever is the manual oiler.
I know nothing about vintage saws, but that thing is a sexy beast. I am fairly certain I wouldn't be able to run such a manly saw.
Chased one of these for awhile. I'm a Stihl guy, but this was on my short list of "off brands". To my knowledge, at 160cc this is the largest displacement one-man production chainsaw.
Not as it sits John. It had been stationary in a collection for some years, and all I know is that it turns over and has spark. I've been badly tied up with work and a large renovation project at home, but I intend to take a little time to learn more about it tomorrow...
One I frequently run the super 1050. Wearing a 36" sprocket nose it's a strong runner. Sent from my 0PM92 using Tapatalk
Occasionally I'll run the 990D but it sets on the shelf mostly. Strong runner with nearly 200psi. Just don't have enough big wood around to take advantage of... Sent from my 0PM92 using Tapatalk
A few others I enjoy running. 120cc gear63. drives. The 77 is a sweet running saw indeed. Starts on one pull and idles real nice. Running 9/16" chipper on it an 5/8" chipper on the 73. Vintage McCulloch muscle at its finest... I track serial numbers on these saws to see what's out there. The 73 is a low one at 570 and the 77 is 2963. Have yet to see a 77 any higher..
