Actually surprised myself that it started with two year old fuel.... Though it does seem to be a bit heavy on the oil... Please like, comment and subscribe!
Are they any good?? I have the motor and body of one and was thinking to recycle it and use the aluminium for casting.. but now that I see all the people that take such a good care and it is so old, I'm having second thoughts!! Hope to find some one that need parts or can rebuild it in stead of destroying a good antique piece of machinery!!
Not too bad.Some of these older ones might need some TLC,a new part or two.maybe even a rebuild.But take care of them & they will serve you very well for many more years.
I was given one of these a few years back... just fired it up to cut a tree and the pull cord broke. I was told the spring was a pain in the ass, and it is. But I managed to get it in with needle nose pliers and patience. :) It's a nice little saw.
Yeah, that is DEFINITELY on the list for next season. I have four chains for this saw, sadly, this was the shaprest one o.O so I'll be probably be taking them to get sharpened, though sharpening a chainsaw would be a good video. I ran all the 2+year old fuel mix out of it making this vid, so fresh fuel will be a definite the next time I use it.
general0ne I bought a hand sharpening tool with a gauge on it. It works and it makes them really sharp. Its just a round file to match the chain and has a flat metal gauge with the angles marked on it. Works good. That saw works good. When you get a new gas oil mix in, it will probably just take off.
I have one of these ... I bought it in '72. If you sharpen that blade then it will go through that stuff like butter. Don't forget to keep chain saw oil in the reservoir. It will run out of oil before it runs out of gas.
That's probably since this saw doesn't have a muffler. It's a straight exhaust with only a single cover that I had installed from another saw. This thing is LOUD.
If He was To Put A New Chain On It Dump Out The Old Fuel Change The Spark plug On The Mac 6 Chainsaw. Put Diesel Fuel In It And Also 50 Cans Of Seafoam So It would Smoke Tons Of Blue Smoke For Miles Away And If It's Windy The Smoke Will Blow For At least 5 Miles Away He Can Cut Monster Logs Old Wood Build Houses And Cut 50 Sheets Of Plywood And Doors.
That's actually the exhaust causing the smoke, but you have to admit, it would be pretty cool, cut your firewood and start your campfire all in one go!
This Guy Should Fix this mac 6 chainsaw Dump out the old fuel Sharpen the Chain and put Diesel fuel in it so it can Smoke tons of Blue Smoke and then Black Smoke after that. He should use it to cut monster big logs and Ripping Sheets of Plywood and cutting new and old Doors

I would say, 1. Is the chain the right way round because even a blunt chain should do better than that! 2. Please, please work on your technique as I saw several potential kickbacks there. 3. Protective equipment. Eye cover, helmet and chaps. Even with glasses, chips can go anywhere and you want a helmet in case of aforementioned kickback. 4. Are you running the correct petrol/oil ratio, that things smoking like a bitch!
Yes, the chain was on the right way, but was (is) totally shot. The chain and bar were from a trash picked saw, and were only used for the video because it was a roller bar, vs non roller for the original Mac bar, which was worn so bad it would bind regardless of the chain tension or amount of oil. The fuel mix was not correct, I'm sure, and was over a year old. I've only used the saw twice, once prior, and when making this video. I agree my technique needs work.
@@general0ne fair one, thanks for quick reply. Fair enough on bar, chain and fuel. Main thing on technique is where you stick your tip (wahey xD) obviously the saw runs top to bottom and if it catches anything it's gonna want to climb up it and fling the saw at your face which can give you a bit of a headache. Also if it catches the ground its gonna fling high velocity debris at you as well as blunt the chain
@@adamoneale4396 Thanks for the tips! I'm actually subscribed to Wranglerstar, and I've seen his videos on using a chainsaw (waaay after this video was posted, of course).
Beautiful saw, but good God, sharpen that chain!
I think he would do better if he took the chain off of it

Forgot to mention the chain is put on Backwards and it is dull thats why he is having a hard time cutting the Branches
Worst chain on TH-cam reward lol
You need my teacher. Billy Ray. Smith.
This is comical!! Nice saw you should try putting a chain on it might cut better.
Is the chain the right way😂😂

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE, A RUBBER CHAIN??
Not far from it.
There’s no way that it’s on right... my guess is its on backwards
No more mosquito problems anyway.
I think it killed the grass and the trees back there, too j/k
i hate this saw because paine in the ass to fix
STOP STOP STOP!!! Sharpen the damn chain before you ruin that great vintage saw.
Dude, your blade is dull, you high jet is out of adjustment (by a lot). just no......
Check out buckin billy rays videos on chain sharpening. Very informative entertaining and made filing a fun thing.
I detect a chain running backwards or one with no teeth.
Or loose chain possibly
Wow! Cool saw ... but dang sharpen that shit up and touch the jets
Forgot to mention the chain is put on Backwards and it is dull thats why he is having a hard time cutting the Branches
One of the worst chainsaws to work on.
Might want to adjust your high end jet closed a 1/4 turn
Jesus dude. Sharpen that chain!
Your chain is too loose and it's dull
Runs great but pretty dull chain. You should sharpen it.You should put some new gas oil mix in too.
Yeah, that is DEFINITELY on the list for next season.

I may look into getting one of those. It is a good runner. Fairly low hours on it, as well.

How much did this cost when you bought it?
Hey Skippy sharpen the chain
Chain on backwards?
Sharpen your chain bro
That's a strange Noise for a 2-stroke engine sounds like A Fart
That's probably since this saw doesn't have a muffler. It's a straight exhaust with only a single cover that I had installed from another saw. This thing is LOUD.
Chain and your bar might be bent I have done that before it sucked
The bar wasn't bent, the chain was just shot.
FYI, same model chainsaw that was used in "Animal House" to remove Niedermeyer's horse. ;)
Cool. I did not know that. I will now have to go watch Animal House again!
Hehheh, it'd be a hoot if that was the exact same one. You never know where old movie props end up.
Is this a joke?
Do u happen to know the fuel oil mixture ratio?
40:1

Gotta love the smoldering wood after the attempted cuts.

Sell me that saw!! I will put a good bar, and proper chain in it, and keep it in mint condition!!
i have a couple vids of me using my mini mac 30 , i found that and the mac 6 on kijiji
40-1 premix 😉
This was running more like 16:1 and the fuel was old... to be honest, I'm surprised it ran at all!
I love the zombie reference!! haha but its a beautiful saw, I cant find one anywhere like that.
Imagine If This Was A Big Log And He Was Using This Mini Mac 6 Dull Chainsaw Blade On It. it Will Take All day To Get it Cut Down
I'd have been better off to let an apprentice go at it with a dull beaver.
What mosquitoes?....please sharpen chain also
My dad had that saw and it's the loudest saw ever!
yeah, like everybody else said : new chain and new gas :D
Is the chain on backwards?
Chain is way too loose
Where can you buy one?
yeah right!!
Do you have the owners manual, scabbard, carrying case and spark plug wrench?
Yes, though the case for this one is a one piece case, there is no scabbard
+general0ne I'd like to see what the carrying case looks like? Do you own the plastic McCulloch wedge for it?
mi metti un videro
Nice old saw!
Thanks!
Dude do you have the damn chain on backwards or what?? 😂
No, it was just totally shot. 😂
@@general0neyou still have it?
@@booboodafoo3247 Yes, but I haven't run it since I made this video.
@@general0ne ah hell im sure the fuel lines are toast now lol. I’m looking for a Mini Mac but they’re hard to find in decent condition. You’re lucky
