McCulloch Chain Saws

Howdy, new member checking in on the yellow thread. I just remembered that I took an old yellar Mc out of a neighbors trash pile last summer and never tried to crank it. I looked up the # and it turns out to be a ProMac 10-10. I haven't put a compression gauge on it yet, but it still fills strong on compression. It's missing the top cover, and a bit dirty, but it looks like it would clean up and be a nice saw. Has a great bar and chain on it.
I pulled up to the trash pile to grab a lawn Boy mower and the Mac was kinda hidden outta sight, so i grabbed it too and never gave it much thought except for how heavy built it was, just pushed it aside whenever it got in the way in the shop.
My 14 y.o. son tuned the mower up and cut his grandmas yard with it all summer, now he wants to sell it and find some more trash heap treasures to tinker on. He's trying to talk me out of the 10-10 to put on his go cart or a bicycle frame.

Where do I need to post up to find a top cover for this little 54cc Mac? Thanks

Well got the 8200 home the other day. Thanks to Mark got the IPL for it also. Made a phone call to a freind that had a dead PM800 or 850. Got the long block to compare the oil tank/crank case on the 8200. The 8200 has the bar stud area broken out of the tank. Well so far they look the same short of the color. I hope to get a few of teh paying projects out of the way and get the 8200 tore down and cleaned up. I hope they inter change. Sure will be nice to get the old monster going and add a 32 inch bar to it.

Try Swap Meet sticky at top of forum page. I may have one if I can find it, which you can have for the postage. Ron

Actually that was for my Super 44, sorry. 80cc vs. 87 for the 44A. I'd like a 44A, too. Great saws.

I'm kinda wondering which one it is. It sounded to me that the guy new it was a 44 and in good condition. I always assumed the smallest version so I'm never disappointed. I'll see what he wants for it. I really like the torquey old saws.

Sounds good. Hope to hear from you if you have it. Thanks Ron.

EDIT: I suppose I should have mentioned I need an air filter to go wit that AF cover :act-up:

10-4. :yourock:

Going to get some pics of my little Mac later. Fuel tank has lots of oxidation to deal with. Gonna needs a fuel filter, Carb kit too, most likely...:beer::beer:

A while ago I mentioned that I had a rim and drum for the larger Macs with a VERY worn out bushing and a worn out spur with a good bearing in it that I wanted to swap out centers on. I can report that it has been successful. I shot both with a little PBlaster, used a 1/2" socket as the press and a 7/8" for a backer. Used the bench vise. Took all of 3 minutes to complete the whole deal. Good to go now with a useable rim and drum!

Time for a little story change

I posted last week about this saw and am in need of the spark plug cover. The saw is a 660 gear reduction for those that do not know which will be few on this site.

I am very happy to report I ran it tonight and it studdered and would not run after choked. Pulled the air cleaner off...the choke was stuck on not releasing. Flipped the choke open and man oh man is this thing a wood eating machine, uh wow. It runs awesome. I went out to the town fozen yard waste dump to try it on a little 20" log and it was like it was not even there. Throwing big ole wood chips. I only ran it about half way through the log as I have not checked the gear case so I will now proceed with checking that stuff out.

Here is the saw and the cover that is missing that I am looking for. If anyone has one or knows where I might find one that would be great. I hope to maybe just do a short video of the thing idling in the couple of days. I only have split wood here at the house so nothing here to cut.

Also I have not searched yet but does McCulloch have a way of dating a saw off serial numbers? I have not counted the ratio yet on this saw as I saw it could be a 2-1, 3-1 ratio based off of age?

Thanks

Don't know about age dating from serial numbers. Some saws that had a particularly long run (rare for McCulloch) the S/N prefix code will at least tell you the year or years within that generation for the model.

 

[struggle]

THe numbers on teh tag under the aircleaner cover are MOD 600120 and below that 1110090

Do those numbers mean anything:waiting:

 

[8433jeff]

Thanks

Nice benchtop. Find that plug cover before it warms up, or you run it for an extended time. Mark will be along to tell you where to find it.

 

[struggle]

I figured worst case I could fabricate something if I cannot find one.

600120 makes it a 3:1 gearbox. 600115 would be the 2:1.

Small 11 is prefix code (common Mac ones are 10-13). 10090 is the s/n. The prefix codes on the 3:1 saw go from 10 to 13, so you have a second generation saw. Made from May '67 to June '75, but impossible to know when yours came out for sure, I reckon.

The above is from Acres site, BTW.

 

[Brian13]

Looks like it was made somewhere between 1967-1975. And your numbers are saying it is 3:1 gears.

Model Profile: 660

Ya beat me to it LOL.

Anybody care to take a gander at this and take a guess at what I am getting.
