It is a Mculloch with the wrong front handle bar on it.
The model # and serial # are on the aluminum tag on the bottom left side the throttle trigger handle.
I probably have a parts break down for it though.

Dan, would a 009L make a good camp/truck saw? Where would they fit in the light duty -> professional rank for longevity? Looks like by size it would fit in the "home owner" catagory....
Is $150 - $200 reasonable for one if it's in good shape?

A "White" 009L would be a great trail/camping saw.
For $200, it had better look like new.

Looks like it is worth it. That should be a very late 1980's to mid 1990's version.

The 009L is such a bullet proof saw even my neighbors cannot break mine. I have two of them that get passed from neighbor to neighbor. The only time I see them is when someone puts bar oil in fuel mix or the chain is so dull that putting it on backwards would actually improve the cutting performance.

Nope it has the correct handle bar. It is a complete saw. This is a very rare saw. There were others in this line but this one is the first and only in production from Oct. 1949 to Mar. 1950. This is a very rare saw.

Is it still dark in California?
I'd be interested in seeing how you attach a chainsaw in your rigs D'animal, when you have a chance.
Man, I gotta get myself a little arborist saw. Got 4 regular styles from 16 to 20" but I need small to climb up there with... (Trade anybody?)
If I'm getting desperate, it may just happen that the handle of one gets accidentally chopped off by another one...
Also gotta plant more trees to have fun with...

Heres my grampas old McCulloch, my dad say's it was a bitch to start, but once you got it running it was OK. I have the chain somewhere too.

I might have a parts breakdown on the Super 33 as well.
Cool old saw.

I assume this would be a white one:

Not sure if it's still available, but found it in local classifieds and sent an e-mail to find out
when I did survey work we used the hell out of that model....good saws...
Bringing this thread back from the dead.
D'Animal, Back in 08 I started down the road of rebuilding my Husqvarna 266SE my neighbor had borrowed and run on Straight gas. After all this time I finally got it back from a club member that does small engine repairs. New piston, ring and cylinder plus a few other things. My question would be, What's the proper breakin on a new ring and cylinder? I know my guy ran it to get it tuned up and I ran it for 5 minutes today when I picked it up. Do I need to run it lightly for any amount of time or just start cutting the big stuff?
It did do something odd tonight when I ran it. It was sitting there iddling away when it all of the sudden it reved up on it's own. It looped a little and then went back to idle. After doing this 3 times it quit running, apparently out of fuel. After I put gas in it, it ran fine and didn't rev up again on it's own. There's quite a bit of oily moisture comingout of the exhaust as well. I'm wondering it he's got it running rich or something. I'm excited to have the beast back. I was literally shopping for a new saw this morning when I got the call that it was done.

No special running to break one in. I avoid running it wide open throttle and avoid cutting the big stuff until you have a tank of fuel or two ran through it.
The odd running condition you mentioned is exactly what you through it was, it just ran out of fuel.

Thanks a ton. I'll do some trimming with the saw for a few tanks. In the next two weeks I have two 36+" poplars to take out.
It is putting out a bit of white/blue smoke while running. I was in the garage since it was snowing last night and it hazed up pretty fast in there. I'll have to find a manual online and see if there is a way to play with the fuel/air mix in the carb. It did it before the motor blew, but I figured with all the new parts it would cure that some. I guess I should expect some smoke from a saw from the early 80's.

Check the fuel mix before you start tweaking the adjustment screws on the carburetor.
