Most people may not need a powerful chain saw. They can do their yard work on the weekend. They can get away with doing light trimming, mowing, and edging to keep their front and back yards looking nice. If worst comes to worst, they may have to use a hand saw to cut away unwanted branches or go to Home Depot and buy a new McCulloch chain saw. But for that special group of people that enjoy cutting down trees day in and day out, they will need something much more powerful and reliable like an old McCulloch with old McCulloch chain saw parts.
If you are lucky enough to own one of these classics with old McCulloch chain saw parts then you are in for a treat. These older models, when properly taken care of, can start up quick and are begging to be put to the test annihilating unsuspecting trees. They can be used repeatedly day after day, year after year. The new McCullochs of today are really just disposable saws to be used for a short amount of time and then thrown away. They don't even compare to the older ones which can last a lifetime.
The McCulloch name has a lot of history. Robert McCulloch invented the one man chain saw in 1948. He revolutionized the industry and changed the way logging was done. There was no need for a 2 man team anymore to cut down trees, one person could do it alone with the light and powerful chain saws. Over the years, he added 29 firsts that were important innovations to the chain saw market. In 1964 he opened a large manufacturing plant in Lake Havasu City, Arizona creating American made McCullochs. In January, 1999, the company went bankrupt and closed its doors. That was the end of the American made quality product. In 2003, the McCulloch name was bought by a company in Taiwan. Since then, the name has gone through many owners. That's why you can buy one with the name today but it's really just low quality McCulloch chain saw parts made in China or Taiwan.
McCulloch made chain saw for over 50 years, creating a large number of models. Some of the more popular ones are the Pro Mac, Mini Mac, Eager Beaver, and Super Pro. But that's only a few from the list. So it's important to be able to find McCulloch chain saw parts to replace and fix these classics when necessary. Sometimes it takes a little work to locate these parts but it's definitely worth it in the end.
