I had an old McCullough for about 15 years. It still works okay except the oiler cap is busted and started leaking, I used a sort of colostomy bottle and stuck the pick up tube in it and surprisingly works great. I was looking for a new one and I looked at Stihl and Hvsquvarna but ended up buying a Japanese Shindaiwa. Fit and finish is great, only one I could find with machined aluminum crankcase. Most saws including the the two I named above are all plastic minus the piston and rods and cylinder. This thing has double chrome plated piston with drop forged and machined connecting rod and instead of friction crankshaft and rod bearing has needle bearing for much longer life. Carburetor, switches and controls are very simple and stout and not at all plastic. The bar oil and gas tank is made out plastic. All and all looks impressive . I hope it works as as good as it looks. You can pick it up from Deere dealer. It seems they cater the brand for the professional folks and I sure ain't one of them.
