McCulloch Chain Saws

[mogulmasher]

Jethro, I have a old black top 10-10a that sounds like buckins pro Mac 10-10 in that vid. I bought from original owner. He said it was rebuilt once forever ago and he didn't remember what they did to it, but they modded it in some way. I just know it runs awesome. It's the saw in my avatar.

Right cool mk and does it flog the pants off other 10-10's that's a nice saw too

I actually had a beautiful 10-10s and this little 10-10a would out cut it. I dunno how or w hy but it did. Ended up needing cash for something and stupidly let that 10-10s go, it was the cleanest Mac I've ever had. Here's the 10-10s

I feel your sadness, I've let some things go for money . One I regret is a 1957 Paxton McCulloch super charger, race edition.

Interesting what you say about that old 10-10 out cutting it be cool to see inside it.

I'm pretty sure I remember when you sold that S and thinking dam that's a tidy saw.

That's one hell of a thing to get rid of hope you got good coin for it

I did at the time, and it was put to good use in a restoration project.

I've thought about using a heat on it really don't like doing it I ordered a chip for it just bothers me that I can't get it off

Use heat. I have used a small propane torch, just heat the flywheel about an inch or so away from the crank let it heat soak for a bit then use a big hammer and give it a sharp smack on the puller. Never had a flywheel I couldn't get off.

I put a bigger puller on it and was able to get it off

Yes someday I'm curious to see what makes it tick as well. I did have that S posted in classifieds here. I think I sold it locally though. Kinda one of those not sure I'll find nother like it saws....

Well that's cool it was used on a restoration project. Would be pretty neat on a period correct type hot rod build.

Fellow had a 1957 ford t-bird and it let him finish the car.

Hopefully another will turn up for ya.

Broke out the recently serviced PM 10-10s and cut up a 14" diameter red oak that had previously fallen on my well head. The saw ran perfectly, although that red oak is hard stuff. Started slow, but went in and sharpened chain, then continued with much better pace. The ignition module was the issue I believe. Only issue remaining is the bar oil leaks. I replaced the tank cover gasket, but seems to be leaking from somewhere else. Oils the chain excessively I think. If tank is full, will leak out slowly overnight.

Quick question. McCulloch 1-70
What is the purpose of this line? Is it some form of vent? I have another complete tank assembly with the wick that is in far better shape, but before I go tearing into this dinosaur I want an idea of what I’m getting into. Also notice those super yummy rusted bolts I really don’t want to deal with lol. I was thinking of just cleaning the existing tank and just using the top cover etc from the new assembly and not messing with the rotted bolts. Good or bad idea?

I've had it leak if the allen head bolt inside the tank is gone or fell out.

 

[Goinwheelin]

Figured out it’s a vent. Not sure why there’s two, one in the cap and one in the tank. Redundancy in case one fails I guess

 

[Goinwheelin]

OCD is kicking in. Now that I’ve gone this far I’ll have to disassemble the entire saw. Lol

There's a YouTube video on building a kart motor, looks just like your saw .

Are the bullfrog or flatback mcculloch carbs in the single digit-10 series saws something that I could rebuild to run if I purchased one of these saws

 

[edju1958]

I've got a couple of 2-10's that had DSP's on them that were integrated with the on/off switch.I can't find these DSP's on the IPL's I have.Is there any way to plug them,short of tapping the little holes where the DSP's used to go ?The DSP's have been missing since I got the saws 1 1/2 yrs.ago.
