I'm 57, Back in the day when I was 12-13 my Dad and I would cut fire wood in the summer. He ran an old Mcculloch. No idea of the model. He''d get the trees on the ground and I would limb them with an axe. Then I'd then pull them out with a 1954 Farmall 100 (still have it and it''s still a working tractor) to a clearing. After we had 10-15 trees on the ground Dad would come buck them and I would split with an axe, It was amazing how efficent the two of us were, I miss him and those times!

SP125 has some interesting specs. 23 pounds, 7.5 cubic inches, 20:1 mix with only 70 octane requirement. Produced only three years 1969-1971. Makes them rare gem! Anyone else look them up? Makes them larger than Husqvarna 3120 by cu. Inches!

Glorious+life enhancing= pop eating grins The 125 is an absolutely a joy to run in big wood. It almost makes one sad when there is nothing left to really dig it into. I get to go play with big stuff here and there 25+”. The only way I have found to really enjoy cutting for 1/2 tank or more it to split logs into boards free hand. Snap a chalk line score it and then settle up for continuous buck work the throttle just the same. I don’t know what it is about the old Mac’s especially the bigger frame saws. But no saw new or old runs a cool as macs do. Even running them hard they don’t seem to get the cylinder over 212-220 degrees.
