Does McCulloch still make chainsaws?
Yes. Mcculloch still makes chainsaws, including electric, battery, and gas (petrol) models. For your Mcculloch EAGER gas chainsaw, the key is matching the exact model identification on the saw to the correct parts diagram so you get the right bar, chain, and engine components.
Even when a brand still makes chainsaws, parts fit is model-specific. For Mcculloch EAGER chainsaws, we recommend confirming these details first:
- The full model number and any type or revision code on the ID tag
- Bar length (common sizes are 14 to 18 inches on homeowner saws)
- Chain pitch and gauge (must match the bar and sprocket)
- Whether your saw uses a spur sprocket or rim sprocket setup
- Fuel system type (primer bulb, carburetor style, fuel line routing)
For help decoding the ID tag so you can match the correct diagrams and parts list, use how to find your appliance model number (and what it means for parts).
These items commonly need replacement on gas chainsaws due to heat, vibration, and fuel exposure:
- Spark plug
- Air filter
- Fuel filter and fuel lines
- Primer bulb
- Recoil starter rope and spring
- Clutch drum/sprocket and bar/chain
| Item | Must match | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Chain | Pitch, gauge, drive link count | Prevents derailment and poor cutting |
| Guide bar | Mount pattern, gauge, length | Ensures proper oiling and tensioning |
| Sprocket | Pitch and type (spur/rim) | Keeps chain speed and engagement correct |
| Carb/fuel parts | Exact routing and fittings | Avoids leaks and hard-start issues |
Mcculloch may still produce chainsaws, but older models like the EAGER series often have multiple versions that look similar. Matching the exact identification on your saw prevents ordering the wrong chain, bar, or fuel system parts.
If you do not see the exact parts you need listed for your model, we recommend searching by the full model identification on Sears PartsDirect.

How do I know what model McCulloch chainsaw I have?
For a Mcculloch gas chainsaw, the model is typically stamped or printed on the saw’s housing (often on the underside of the crankcase or near the starter/fuel tank area). Once you find that exact model identifier, use it to match the correct parts diagram and parts list for your saw, including the EAGER model page.
Check these common model-ID locations first (wipe off oil and sawdust so you can read the stamp):
- Underside of the crankcase/case halves (a stamped code is common)
- Recoil starter housing area (near the pull cord cover)
- Rear handle or fuel tank housing
- Bar-mount side of the chassis near the bar studs
- A small decal/plate near the air filter cover (if still present)
Mcculloch saws often have more than one identifier. Record everything you see.
| What you find | Example format | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model name/series | “EAGER BEAVER 2116” | Gets you into the right family of diagrams |
| Product/ID number | “11-600035-08” | Narrows to the exact version |
| Serial number | Varies | Helps confirm production run and small revisions |
Once you have the model identifier, search by the exact characters (including dashes) to pull up the correct Mcculloch chainsaw parts breakdown.
- Match the model text exactly as stamped
- Use the full product/ID number when available (it is often more precise than the name)
- Compare your saw’s layout to the diagram (handle style, chain brake, bar mount)
- If your saw is missing labels, rely on stamped case numbers plus visual match
For broader searching by model number and to locate the right parts listing, use Sears PartsDirect.
Chainsaws can look nearly identical across revisions, but small changes (carburetor linkage, chain brake parts, ignition module, bar studs) can make the wrong part not fit. Correct model identification prevents ordering the wrong chainsaw parts and speeds up repair.

What kind of oil for eager beaver chainsaw?
For the Mcculloch EAGER gas chainsaw, use two different oils: a quality 2-stroke engine oil mixed with gasoline for the fuel, and bar and chain oil in the separate oil tank to lubricate the guide bar and chain. You can shop by model on Sears PartsDirect.
- 2-stroke oil (for fuel mix): Mix with fresh gasoline in the fuel can.
- Bar and chain oil (for lubrication): Fill the chainsaw’s bar oil reservoir.
- Do not use motor oil for the fuel mix: It can cause heavy smoke, poor running, and carbon buildup.
- Do not run straight gas: It can quickly damage the engine.
- Use fresh fuel: Old gas can cause hard starting and poor performance.
Most gas chainsaws like this use a 50:1 mix (2%), which is 2.6 oz of 2-stroke oil per 1 gallon of gas.
| Mix ratio | Percent | Oil per 1 gallon gas | Oil per 1 liter gas |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50:1 | 2% | 2.6 oz | 20 ml |
- Start with an approved fuel container.
- Add about half the gasoline.
- Add the measured 2-stroke oil.
- Add the remaining gasoline and shake to mix.
- Fill the fuel tank with the mix; fill the bar oil tank with bar and chain oil.
Correct 2-stroke oil mix protects the piston and crank bearings, and bar and chain oil prevents rapid wear of the chain, guide bar, and sprocket. Using the right oils also improves cutting performance and reduces overheating.

Who made the eager beaver chainsaw?
Mcculloch made the EAGER Beaver chainsaw line; for this model page, the brand for model EAGER is Mcculloch. When you are matching parts, always use the exact model identification from the saw’s data tag so you get the correct Mcculloch-compatible diagrams and part listings on Sears PartsDirect.
Because “EAGER Beaver” is a family name used across multiple versions, we recommend confirming the full model and type information before ordering parts.
- Check the model/data tag on the saw body (often near the starter housing or rear handle)
- Write down the full model and any type/serial numbers
- Match that information to the parts diagrams for the closest exact listing
- If your tag shows additional numbers beyond EAGER, use those for the most accurate match
Mcculloch-built saws commonly share design families, but small differences (carburetor linkage, ignition module style, bar mount pattern) can change which parts fit.
- Carburetor or carburetor repair kit
- Ignition coil/module
- Recoil starter parts
- Fuel lines and fuel filter
- Chain brake components
- Guide bar and saw chain specs
| Item to record | Where to find it | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Data tag on saw | Ensures correct diagrams |
| Type/version | Data tag (if listed) | Prevents wrong ignition/carb parts |
| Bar length | Stamped on bar | Helps match bar and chain |
| Chain pitch/gauge | Bar stamp or chain packaging | Ensures chain compatibility |
Using the correct Mcculloch EAGER Beaver identification prevents ordering a part that looks right but will not mount, connect, or tune correctly (especially fuel system and ignition parts).
