The time has come for this chainsaw restoration. This specific saw restoration is for me and I have been wanting to get to this tool for a long time. I started the disassembly in November 2018 and had to wait a while for some rare parts to arrive. This chainsaw is a McCulloch 99 two-man chainsaw made in 1954. The engine is 161cc and the powerhead alone is 51lbs making it one of the largest production chainsaws ever and the largest in McCulloch's production line at the time.
In this video, I focus on disassembling the powerhead and getting everything ready for painting. I used 2 coats of self-etching primer, 3 coats of yellow enamel, and 3 coats of 2K fuel-resistant clear paint for each of the painted pieces.
I was not able to get the clutch off of this saw, so instead of fixing something until I break it, I decided to leave it alone and restore the chainsaw without removing the clutch. This meant that the crankshaft had to stay together as well. Almost all pieces were meticulously cleaned by hand as solvents and degreasers can only do so much.
In the next video, I will piece the whole saw together and hopefully and finally cut some wood.

@Eccentric5B 5 жыл бұрын

The points and condenser are placed under that external cover (instead of under the flywheel) for easy service access in the field. Don't have to tear half the saw apart to service them. Most of the early Macs were set up that way. Kohler and Clinton 4 stroke industrial engines such as the K series singles (and others) had similar points/condenser placement. Mac went to a 'conventional' under flywheel placement later to eliminate that long pushrod (which would float at the higher RPM's that the newer designs were running at). Back when this saw was designed, the "standard" chainsaw layout didn't yet exist. The manufacturers were making it up as they went. This was the era of the transition from saws built with industrial style engines running big gear drives (and driving HUGE chains) to smaller/lighter/more compact gear drive and direct drive saws running MUCH smaller chains. Saws like this Mac 99 (and the 1225 and 7-55) were a 'bridge' between the old monsters like the Mercury/Disston KB7AY series and the big Titans and IEL's and such to the newer designs. RP McCulloch was an eccentric genius. His carburetor/fuel systems were particularly nuts. The carb assembly on this saw will barely fit in a shoebox. Within a few years, the Tillotson HL, the Walbro/McCulloch "flatbacks", and the later "cube type" Tillotson HL, Walbro HS, and all those that followed did the same job with a fraction of the size, weight, and complexity.

My Dad was a McCulloch dealer in the 70s and 80s. I remember having a 99 under the workbench in the shop for years. It was just the engine, Dad always wanted to find the rest of the parts for it and get it running but never did. He got out of the business in 1988 and that saw went to the scrap yard. I've often thought about finding one to restore.

I’m starting a Model 99 rebuild now (2022). I wanted to ensure that the PTO side oil seal could be replaced. To get the clutch off, I used a 4 pin socket tool that is normally used on a Toyota hub locknut. The “off” direction is counterclockwise. I was able to remove the clutch working against the compression with a 1/2” drive electric impact wrench. No damage to the clutch or tool. For reference, “OEM Tools #25969” available at Amazon and parts stores. Your videos are very helpful.

At 26:50 you ask "Do you like that, woodworkers?" That popped on screen about 3 seconds after I thought, I bought all my chisels for woodworking...50 years ago. And it took me about 20 years to realize they can be used for a lot of other things and suffer ZERO actual damage. I was betting the woodworking purists were wetting themselves as you chiseled away at old glue. Then you basically made a joke of it. Very cool.
