“Same as the others -junk; plastic starter recoil”

★☆☆☆☆

written by philojester on 06/10/2011

Used 10 times and now plastic starter recoil stripped. I called around locally for parts and no one will work on it because parts are too hard to get

“POS is right.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Rville on 23/06/2011

This is a disposable perhaps 15 time use chainsaw. Recoil WILL break after several uses. Can't find parts. JUNK.

Piece of junk, just like everyone else's the starter recoil broke after only having maybe 20 uses. I'd give it a negative 5 if it was possible.

“I bought the mcculloch chain saw mx40 at Menards in...”

★★★☆☆

written by on 28/06/2010

I bought the mcculloch chain saw mx40 at Menards in 2009 in Elkhorn Nebraska. I drove 60 miles to my parents farm to use it. I pulled the starter, started right up. would not recoil, and ate the cord. I went back to Menards, very upset, they said that since I put gas in it I had to take it to a dealer for warranty. I said about 100 choice words and dealt with everyone except the manager. I tore the assembly apart, put in new string, and realized that the pulley and spring assembly was never recoiled properly at factory. I fixed it and it has worked incredibly well over the past year. You need to pull on the rope all the way out with a steady motion, once it is recoiled so far it spins motor and starts. You can not pull on cord like you would an expensive saw.

“XM-40 or MS40A Whatever it's called, I HATE this...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 30/11/2009

XM-40 or MS40A Whatever it's called, I HATE this machine. My rating is NO STARS... but that's not an option apparently.

I have used it only a handful of times and the self-tightening mechanism is stripped. Went to return it to Menards, they won't return it at all. Took it to a local service dealer, 45 minutes later, we STILL couldn't find a model number. Neither the XM-40 plastered on the bar nor the MS40A listed on the label under "Model Number" are the correct number when looking for parts. Can't find it online at all under these numbers. How is ANYONE supposed to use this "tool?" I will never buy another McCulloch again. Nor will I make a major purchase like this at Menards again

“Looks like a defect with the starter pulley - Mine...”

Looks like a defect with the starter pulley - Mine broke soon after purchase
Need to find a replacement. Bought mine through Menards but have had it to long to return. McCulloch should honor a recall/replacement for this issue.
Just would like to find a dealer to buy replacement part or will have to replace again. This time it won't be a McCulloch saw. Years ago I purchased a 16 McCulloch saw that was a very good saw - I used it until it was wore out - That is what I t.hought I was repeating - Not so

“I purchased my McCulloch MS40A chainsaw a little over...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ejustian on 07/06/2008

I purchased my McCulloch MS40A chainsaw a little over a month ago. Of all the things to break in that time, it was the starter. A metal plate with teeth is supposed to catch against plastic tabs to get the motor started.

Can anyone guess what happens when steel rubs against plastic repeatedly? Anyone? Of course you can. Yes. The plastic wears out. So now my chainsaw won't start.

The moral of the story is, ya get what you pay for I guess. And for $150 you get a chainsaw that you can start maybe 30 times. So that's, what $5 per start? Not a very good deal.
