MCCULLOCH 10-10, ONE OF MY FAVORITE VINTAGE CHAINSAWS!

[@markheimann2735]

The 1-10 through 5-10 were normally equipped with the McCulloch "Bullfrog" carburetor, of course there were always exceptions with McCulloch. The actual 10-10 models were always equipped with the cube type carburetor, either Walbro SDC or Tillotson HS. 1-10 through 3-10 and 10-10 models were 54 cc. The PM55, 555, and 570 plus the 10-10S models were all 57 cc. There were two models @ 60 cc (PM60 and SP60) The 4-10 through 7-10, PM700, PM4300, CP70 and CP70L and the SP70 were all 71 cc. The SP80, 81, 81E, CP80DX, PM850, 805, 800, 850 Super, Double Eagle 80, and PM8200 were all 82 cc.

Good info Mark.

[@relaxinmaxin7246]

I have four of these saws. Simple yet elegant.

[@markkeyser]

I bought a 10-10 from Serum Equipment in Montague, Massachusetts in 1972. It still cuts up storm! As you said it's loud as hell and it sure does vibrate. It came with a 16" bar but, over the years, I put on a 20". Thanks for mentioning where 'grilles' can be bought. I'm in need of one.

[@jordanteets8818]

Love it dude these old macs are so much fun to play with! Cant wait to get a carb kit in mine and get er pullin some chain!

[@benredmond8271]

Great video. Thanks for the content! Happy holidays.

[@Gaspipenicklioni]

My dad had one of these, probably 70s model, it was a hell of a saw

[@wisheye1]

Great video, really enjoyed this. These saws are really cool. Robert P. McCulloch, the P stands for Paxton. He's the guy that started Paxton superchargers too. McCulloch was a very interesting guy. Total engine guy. Really really cool!

[@TraverseCreekInc]

Thanks!

[@EightWheelsRollin]

Great video! Love my 10-10's...solid saws!

[@haroldadkins770]

The sales pitch in the 70s said they run 3000 feet of chain a minute

[@davidpawson7393]

I was given a Pro Mac 10-10, a Stihl MS170 and a Dolmar Sachs 112. I'm new to working on two strokes but feel confident after freeing the rings up in an Echo backpack blower that had a defect in the cylinder. I didn't install the new piston kit as I wanted to see how my repair went using a Dremel, honing and a file. 12 hours so far and everything looks great through the exhaust port.

[@NothingButChainsaws]

These are the hotrods of the saw world. Had a few myself.

[@takeashawnoutdoors5518]

I love those old crude hot rods. Enjoyed the vid

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

Good vid. They are hard pulling saws. In have a few 10-10 models. The PM700 is my fav.

[@alanklasek7195]

Dad had a couple 10-10’s. I traded one for a pm700 after he passed in the late 80’s. That was a damn good machine.

[@chadwilson9653]

You the man Chris 💪 💪

[@eugenecrabs3954]

I have a PM 10-10 that runs great, I was thinking of re-ringing it and doing some other stuff to it. I've been looking for a saw shop in PA that handles "ole yellers" like these, and it seems like you guys fix em up! I live in Harrisburg and might bring it in one day! Oh by the way, the Pro Macs you had on display were the 77 to 82 generation.

[@rickhofsess84]

I got my first 10-10 in 1978and it has left hand pull with Wal ro and brake.

[@petertoto1759]

These two stroke engines by McCulloch were highly sought after by the Go-Kart racing community especially in P.A., I remember one of my hot rod friends in MA building a Go Kart with one of these 60's McCulloch motors 1969-70, It was a Screamer!!! with lots of Giddy Up & Go! super quick...compared to the Briggs & Tecumseh's etc

[@dynojoemods2764]

Very nice!!

[@TBizzell68]

My dad had a Pro Mac 10-10 mid to late ‘70s. I used the saw a little here and there, one morning he took me outside before he left for work and showed me some trees and brush that he wanted me to cut and stack, I did, I was probably 10 or 11 😂.

[@markheimann2735]

The earliest electronic ignitions were two piece systems found on the SP81E and early PM850, most of those were eventually changed to the one piece unit. The same one piece electronic ignition coils from the 10 Series also works on the 600 Series saws and vice versa if you correct the spark plug lead, longer on the 600 Series and shorter on the 10 Series. The RH start flywheels are smaller in diameter but the magnets are in the same location and the coil has adequate adjustment to work on either version. The 12 and 24 fin flywheels from the LH start saws are interchangeable, the 18 fin flywheels on the PM800 and related models must be used with the shorter crankshaft found on the 800 models.

[@TraverseCreekInc]

Thank you for adding this Mark. It's hard for me to remember all of the details, glad you could correct me on that. I'll save this for reference. I remember we talked about them at your shop when we were upstairs, that day was an onslaught of information!

[@markheimann2735]

The cylinder/crankcase that you show is compatible with either the points or the electronic ignition coil. Early models were points coil only and later were electronic coil only, but there were transition models like that could be used with either type coil with an appropriate spacer to mount the coil.

[@Ronin_72]

I have a POWER MAC 310 and 320, I think I'm addicted to mcculloch. And mucculloch didn't know what a muffler was. That mucculloch sound.

[@cdcorrigan]

I have a pro Mac 10-10 with a 20-in bar and wondering if it would handle a 28-inch bar as far as power goes? Or is there an advantage to having a 20-inch bar versus the longer bar? Also I was wondering, mine takes about 10 pulls to start it when cold, why so many pulls and can something be done about that? Always runs great after I get it going.

[@johnhargis4566]

The best logger that I knew of preferred Macs until they no longer made professional grade saws

[@ninazeng6036]

Good job!

[@kimboggis5808]

Where do you get parts

[@kilroy294]

I’ve got a left handed pull. Well I look at and the pull is on the right close to the bar side

[@quirinorojas3760]

Do you have link to flywheel starter plastic cover grill?

[@KainKustomGarage]

Love me some 10-10s!

[@kevinfoster1213]

Late to the party.. I need to give a shout-out to the 10-10E. Had electric start and was from the 70's I think. Don't hold me to that. This is off the top of my head

[@robertodebeers2551]

In the late '60s and early '70s we had 10-10s and 6-10 at the ranch in Montana and just used the nuts off them. I wouldn't go back to them now, of course, but my dad and his father both grew up using Humbolt misery whips in big ponderosa and slow-growth Doug fir, so we really thought we had hotrods with the little Macs.

[@andrewotero1972]

Yellow and black beaver beaver fever baby your chainsaw gold

[@kevinohara1]

I have a saw that’s very similar to the one you showed for most of this video. I’m new to chainsaws and trying to figure out how to source parts and figure out what might need maintenance. It runs, but I do not know the maintenance history. Any recommendations? Advice for finding parts?

[@TraverseCreekInc]

A lot of the standard maintenance parts are available through the aftermarket. For the major parts it's probably best to have a parts saw or two around. These saws are pretty common, if you keep your eyes out for em you'll find em!

[@ninayuan9703]

Nice video!

[@chancemacdonald2046]

Hey I have a mac 10 10 that just keeps bogging out full throttle. Starts fine runs fine thought it was the carb rebuilt the carb replaced fuel filter and lines same issue idles fine runs good will not go full throttle boggs down and dies. So I figured crank seals replaced the crank seals and same issue gapped the points to 19 thou do you think I could be losing spark high end or some problem still with carb? It's driving me crazy!! Maybe carbon in exhaust ports or something I have no clue I thought I had it at the crank seals

[@TraverseCreekInc]

Did you do a pressure and vac test? Could be leaking air somewhere other than what you already checked. Start there

[@chancemacdonald2046]

@TraverseCreekInc alright yeah I don't have a pressure tester gonna have to get one. It definately seems like an air leak just have to find it. I hope it's not the seal where the upper and lower of the motor connect I don't want to have pull the whole thing apart lol but I will if I have to. When I first tested with brake clean it died when I sprayed by the crank seal I will try it again and see if it still boggs out when I spray there even after I replaced the crank seal. My pull cord keeps popping off the thing so I have to keep winding it every time I pull u gave up the other day going to head back to it tonight

[@thecollectoronthecorner7061]

Just Subscribed Just last Monday I bought several saws and two old boat motors. I wanted the Homelites but had to buy the entire lot. Eny road one is a right hand start !0-10. dirtiest group of saws I ever bought. I took the pressure washer to them. We have video on our channel.

[@ciclotronforever]

The Mc Culloch Pro MAC 10-10 is the best chainsaw ever to be produced !!! My friend Allan Spitterson uses this chainsaw to break world records in his backyard ! This saw is a beast, has he sais it's got big b*lls !

[@pullinhd]

When he says they had power he wasn't kidding, I have a low mile pro mac 800 that absolutely woops up on a new stihl 72cc. Then my pro mac 10-10 will run a 28 without too much trouble.

Chainsaw Corner says it has breaker points, so not electronic....made from 1975 to 1977...who is correct? I have no idea, you will have to inspect it to see...I have 4 of the 7-10 models and they are all breaker points...made in the 1970's...I have a Homelite made in 1966 with original electronic ignition...I was astounded when I inspected it and then got it running. It's 82cc if I recall correctly...I'm not getting up out of my chair to go find the model number...they were almost 20 years ahead of the industry...that's why I hate stuff made in China today. Little Communist bastards are taking over and destroying our domestic industry and the middle class.

[@mattfleming86]

Then you don't know how to tune. I have mac's and have had poulans and they all start and run great. Fix your low jet. I gave away the poulans because I have much nicer saws but they always ran great and started. Except for the "new" poulan (last 5 years or so, hot garbage) they are not bad saws especially for the price.

I have 13 saws old and new my 10-10 is the easiest saw to cold start .

[@mattfleming86]

@@JB-wr2lx Yup. My homelites and Macs can sit for YEARS (sometimes do. i just own them for fun. i do real work with Echo) and if they have fresh gas and the points didnt get wet fire right up. Soo many people are quick to jump on blaming the equipment.. when it's been sitting out on the weather for 6 months, and is sitting full of 1 year old ethanol gas and the carb has never been adjusted.
