[@Nickolas64]

Can't beat an old Mac. I use my 125C now and then but I'm more of a 797 guy. I use a 4-30a on a regular basis and a super 6-10 for smaller stuff. large timber I use my 77 which is a 120cc gear drive with 9/16" chain. That's serious torque and it pulls that chain like it's 3/8" . Good to see guys running the old saws besides just sitting on a shelf . I rebuild and run all of my old saws. Very enjoyable hobby indeed.

[@dereksheaffer608]

I love the manual oilers, it makes cutting that much personal

[@dansherrell6803]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... I love the big block saw vids. Wow.

[@hastonandrew2]

that's so beautiful. i like my brothers homelite xl-12 man that suckers loud as heck also.

[@RM.....]

Awesome. Music to the ears for sure

[@ValiManeanu-sp7ex]

I agree the old macs are one of a kind. I have some of those old saws, they rip a modern Stihl or a husq all day long.

[@dh580]

Way ahead of their time for sure! they still look great saws today! What happened?

[@NothingButChainsaws]

I love these old saws, noting like a good mcculloch!

[@mudsling454]

love the sound of old macs

[@garywagers7265]

looks like so much fun,id love to come join you with a few of my Homelites. It would a vintage day for sure!! haha

[@TreeBoi4Life]

Thats a nice saw right there, I used to have a eager beaver climbing saw and it served me well.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

+TreeBoi4Life a good saw is one that fires up and don't stop until you make it stop .. right on TreeBoi4life, thx again

[@bogg54]

Hey Buckin'! I just scored two 895's!!! An old Washington logger sold them to me.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

VERY KOOL THERE GREAT PIECES OF HISTORY

[@bogg54]

Buckin' Billy Ray Smith ,I'll send ya pic's to yer email here in a few days. I thought they were 1-85, 86's saws but I remembered that those weren't direct drives, 890's-95's were. I'M SO STOKED!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

KOOL BUDDY

[@chriskennedy7262]

that sp 125 has a lot of power sounds awesome :)

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

MY FAV. SAW

[@blackmamba8951]

There's a movie called "Sometimes A Great Notion" from 1970 or '71. It starred Paul Newman, Henry Fonda, Lee Remick, and Richard Jaeckel. Paul Newman was using a McCulloch Super Pro 125 cutting a union boss' table IN HALF! And he was using it to cut a big log that has Richard Jaeckel pinned under it in the water. That was a great movie. That movie has other McCullochs in it. A 797, a Super Pro 81, and I think I saw a blue Homelite Super XL 12 in it, also. Check it out.

[@rusttrail3]

love those 125's ! ......Victors saw looked like it was on fire ....lol

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

[@joshmullinnex5113]

[@denverdanoreno]

Who owned McCullough manufacturing when this saw was made?

[@thomask6307]

Oh WOW ! love those Mac's

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

me ywo brother

[@olivierj.2435]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith really ? 😉 I got my first McCulloch waiting to be restored, it's a S550. Seems to be a good saw

[@jeffreyrubish347]

Compared to that my 62cc Husky is a shrimp. That is a serious piece of equipment.

[@Dyno625]

Man I love the sound of that old girl. What a beauty!. I bet it is a heavy one to right? Compared to the plastic covered saws you get today.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

ya if yer packin it but when its in the wood it weighs nothin ,,, ha ha , thx pal

[@ericfuller6326]

Got to get me an 82cc mcculloch

[@BramKampers]

looks like a beast

[@woos3199]

wow, amazing machines. I knew very little about them until getting on the channel here, I surprised they didn't over take the I did try still with that kinda power and torque that translates into production. Do you know Buckin what happened to Mac, just phased out like the Homelite, Pioneer/Solo, and the like?

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

ya they sold out to a company ,, then yes they started to be phased out after husky bought the co. that bought mac, but in my opinion mac should of stuck with steel cylinders they never could keep chrome on there stuff ,, killed em I think

[@anntanner547]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Hello to all reading out there. Just wondering was there a lot more crome plated saws made in comparison to the steal sleeved saws in general and did this make the sales go down? I'm about ready to buy a older super pro 125 and I don't know yet if it is steal sleeved or not. I should be able to re-ring either saw. Thank goodness these saws where made for the pacific NW type of trees back in the 1970's for people to rebuild on a budget. Very few parts out there left........lol Thanks

[@wheelchairhillbilly]

love it!

[@ronbarfield5615]

Hahaha give that thing a rest and get the 372...

[@johnlincicum6390]

My dad has a nice Super Pro 81 too! We put a 28" bar and chain on it just last year! My dad's 77 years old and still cutting wood! We both still want a Super Pro 125! Lol! Are the newer Stihl and Husqvarna's faster than a same sized older McCulloch? Like a 7-10/700 vs. a Husqvarna 372xp? I honestly don't know because all I own is McCulloch!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

+John Lincicum hey john ya arnt those macs incredible way a head of there time they are not really known for there chain speed and revs but in saying that my 125 ripps pretty good this was good size wood , I will do a vid showing a modern 372 husky up against the 81 ,, or 850 stay tune and I always reply my friend just might take a day or two and if I don't I have missed it somewhere so pls comment again and say hey buckin, I didn't hear back,, thx so much john

[@johnlincicum6390]

Thanks, I don't have anything other than old saws to compare to. So an old McCulloch vs a newer Husky would be cool! Thanks.

[@johnlincicum6390]

+Buckin' Billy Ray Smith Can you compare 2 saws that are the same size? Like a McCulloch Super Pro 81 vs. another 80 to 82cc saw or a McCulloch Pro Mac 7-10/700 vs. a 70 to 72cc saw, like a 372XP, which I think is 72cc's, but I thought they might be 75cc's.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

372 s have 71 cc, and I'm sure I could come up with a fair representation or comparison for sure

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

John Lincicum my pleasure

[@johnlincicum6390]

Buckin' Billy Ray, I hope you reply back!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

+John Lincicum I always do ol' boy a days not that bad, is your dad still runnin his old macs ,, the 125 s are just a treat they come up

[@johnlincicum6390]

All I own is 7 McCulloch's and my old has old McCulloch's, a Husky 114, a Stihl 051, Pioneer, Paulan, etc.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

John Lincicum,, sounds fun , I used to rock a poulan ,, it was great,, smooth

[@joshmullinnex5113]
