McCullogh chain saws

Nov 16, 2006 8 Replies

Hi everyone,



I was recently given a used McCullogh chain saw that seems to work very well. However, I do not have the owners manual for it, or any address from which to buy parts (should I need them). Could anyone point me in the right direction for the owner manual? The chainsaw model: 60013427, "Timberbear"is the name on it. I believe it to be a 20" model, though not certain on that. Another number on the side of the casing is LM94638 - I have no idea what the denotes.



I am just starting to use thes machines and would appreciate any pointers or tips tht you might be able to offer re: filing cutters on the chain, use of filing guides etc.



Thanks in advance,



mariner



PS. primary use is for cutting firewood on my recently purchased piece of land.



Hi Who WOO??

I don't know what saw you have, but McCullogh seems to be an ok saw for all I know.

If you are new to using Chainsaws, here's a good site to get a lot of info on this subject.

I have only one advice, be respectful of that tool, it will cut wood real well and meat and bones even better and faster, so PLAY SAFE.

http://www.oreg> Hi everyone,

FASTER YES BETTER NO!!!!!! Chainsaws cut flesh and bones in a VERY VERY Messy way and leaves BLOOD EVERYWHERE Makes the saw very hard to clean, Oh and the cut is not a clean cut in more ways than one, so the DR will earn his money doinf the wound clean up>

so PLAY VERY SAFE MAKE sure the SAFETY BRAKE works EVERY time it is needed and keep the saw serviced.and sharp. because like knives a blunt blade is more dangerous than a sharp blade.

SHARP = Goes where you want it to go. BLUNT = Goes where it can go.

It's well worth the investment to get a pair of safety chaps as well- they're made of some kind of nylon, and will shred if the saw hits them, wrapping the material around the chain and stopping the saw. I don't imagine it's easy to clean out the saw if that happens, but it's sure easier than carving yourself a new pegleg! :)

As this is a turning group, would it not be more appropriate to say easier than turning yourself a new pegleg?

Didn't McCullough go bankrupt a few years ago?

For the owner's manual try:

I believe they were bought out by MTD.

It may be more appropriate, but it may well be easier and more fun to turn oneself a pegleg than it is to untangle a chainsaw. That's I chose carving instead- that's a lot more like work.
