Got given a free saw!!!

[mikedrums69]

My mates dad heard that i was getting into the tree industry and decided to give me a saw he had laying about!

 

It's a McCulloch Power Mac310, in pretty bad nic. No Front handle, Chain Brake handle and the throttle handle is loose.

 

It's pretty heavy and has a 16' bar, But think i'll down size that.

 

I downloaded the manual, given it a quick clean and check up etc and feel its about time i put a bit of fuel in and see if it'll fire up, before i go hunting for the parts i need.

Don't fancy buying all the spare parts, only to find that it had no chance of starting in the first place

 

Anyone else ever used one before?

Anyone know what cc it is?

 

Cheers

Mike

Not worth spending any money on. Even when in perfect working order it's a dog!

Bin it mate.

Not worth the hassle if you are getting into treework.

Don't waste your money on it. I've been given 4 McCullochs and they are all in the barn gathering dust until I hate myself enough to fix them

[lil'chris]

cost to mutch fix mate if it was a stihl or a old husky i would defonatly consider fixing it but a mculoch:thumbdown: nah see if you can strip down some parts and sell them.

Lol. Know probs, i ain't really fussed. Better to know i'd rather spend the money on something else lol.

 

Cheers for the comments lads. I'll spend my money on some more climbing kit and keep the saw for spares etc (if they'll fit, the saws about 26 years old)

Franks bang on with his comment. If you want a saw for diy or pottering around the garden then the saw you have would be fine. But if you are going to use it every day then stick to stihl/husky, think of all the days you will miss when your saw fails to start.
