I’d like to buy a vintage American made saw

I traded this ole Clinton off to a older friend after I made some test cuts.

Looks like a D-50 (73cc) with optional sprocket-tip bar, based on shape of the tank and muffler. Nice.

The flywheel cover is a thin cast magnesium, no stamped steel or stamped aluminum sheet metal, except the fuel/oil tank.

Mac 125s from the 70s are super-desirable.

I remember an old McCoullough saw my dad had. It was so heavy as a kid I could barely lift it. My dad used it some but I think it was killer even for him to handle and it was dangerous IMO. He finally bought a new Mac when him and my brother started a cordwood business. As it turned out my dad did most of the work and my brother just would be delivery and collect the money. lol

Was given my dads old Promac 700 by my sister who was never going to use it and it had not run in decades, It is not a high revver but is it torquey and everybody knows when you use it because it is LOUD.
McCulloch's are Good lookers as well.

I went to find my old thread back in 2011. Was the D-55

Traded same guy this old mac 805 that looked like new too.

He does collect mac's. Bet he has at least 3 125's.

That’s a really cool saw. A bit more “new age” looking than I was imagining. I kind of like the old school external tank look.
