If that link doesn't work then go to MTD's home page, click on
"parts and accessories", and then "launch illustrated search engine".

Btw..they are made in Chandler/Mesa Arizona.

Want the number for the plant supervisor or Sr. Engineer, so you can
bitch about the early failure? G

Bolens, Yard Machine, Cub Cadet, Troy-Built, and McCulloch products
are all THAT good, eh?


Actually McCulloch isn't made by MTD. They just source the parts for
the overseas manufacturer who bought the rights to the name. When that
manufacturer first started selling them they said they didn't need a
parts source. Then when they got everyone mad do to no parts
availability they made a agreement with MTD to be there parts supplier
for the US so that maybe someone would by there saws.


OK. So how does that affect their reliability (or lack thereof),
which was the main thread here?


Well personally I wouldn't have one (or any of the other low end
chain saws) even if I can get parts for it now days.
