Forgot to mention, it's a 4 shoe clutch, instead of the 3 shoe.

Ran and worked on tuning this new to me 10-10 tonight, it's running really pretty decent. I noticed that the engine block is not painted but just raw aluminum(magnesium?) Anyone know why? Service replacement engine? Something else? Newer ones are like this? Idk.
OE replacement parts were not painted so the saw may have been rebuilt earlier in it's life.
The grey painted oil tanks are on some of the later 10 series saws. I think my late 700 has a grey tank cover as well.

It's not just the oil tank, that's just where it's most obvious. It's the whole engine, cooling fins and all that aren't painted or are painted gray.
I noticed the jug was bare aluminum from the one photo. Almost definitely was replaced.
Unpainted block is most likely a replacement. The PM4900, 5700, and 8200 were painted a shade of blue/grey rather than black but that one looks to be raw.
89227 will indeed fit the SP105/125 saws. I have a couple put away for safe keeping and have one on the 101 saw as well.

I picked up this little G-70 a couple of months ago. It needs to have its recoil fixed up and a good clean. It is my first small Mac geardrive and I am really pleased with it
A G-70 is still on my wish list as well

I didn't even know they made a gear drive on the 10 series chassis!
Right side start no less. That sure seems like an awful lot goin' on over there (the pto side)!
I will try and get a few more photos of the saw tonight. I'm actually looking forward to giving the little machine a run. This one has 1/2" chain on it, and should cut well if running right.
Just picked up a LG-6 geardrive. Arrived with the rear handle broke off the tank.
What other saws share the same tank handle assembly. And anyone have a nice
spare they can let go.
Thanks Lee

I'd say any later model -10 series Lee.
Assuming you need a tank for an SDC carb? If you need a bullfrog version I have one that you can have.
Not sure which carb it has. Been disgusted with it. I will check later.

That is a shame Lee, sorry to hear of it. I have an IPL which shows Part No. 68683 for the LG-6 geardrive (1968). The 10-10 of the same year shows the same part No. for its tank. The Super LG-6 also shows the same part No.

I assume the oil tank is painted gray. Believe that is a later model. The fact the cylinder is bare is not that unusual. My PM700 has a bare cylinder. All my 82cc MACs are/were bare. The only other small ten series I have owned (forgot the model) was bare.
Likely your saw came as it is.
