Looking at the 650/660 IPL (thanks Brian!), I'd say that you put the saw on the edge of the bench with the dogs straight down and the rear handle straight up for filling. If you filled the case through the drain plug when the saw was in this possition (fill it to the bottom of the threads and then plug it), the oil level would be about right. I'm just talkin' out my ass here though...

Fill your hands, you SOB!
Here is a pic of a really nice 10-10 that I got on trade from another member here. It has 160psi compression and isn't missing much paint. Looks like it has some white overspray on it from being too close to something that was being painted. A little brake cleaner or paint thinner will probably take that off though.
Now where in the world did that come from?

Anyone able to help me out with these? Posted on swap meet, but nobody took a bite. :help:
you'll know when you get her home. Check the mod number under the air filter, then go to chainsaw collectors corner and check out the models listed under Mac and you should know for sure then. I'm hoping you have good luck with yours because I bought one of the 10-10's from that same gentleman the other night for $29. Lets hope we receive some decent goods for all of our patience.

You sound like you've been looking for it.
Quite the opposite, I passed it along to him

This makes sense to me. I can check the level this way and if it pours out then I will know. If it empty than I know it will need more. It would seem like this would be the ideal way to do it.
Thanks everyone on this.
Been staring at the IPL now for a half hour. There sure is no 'fill' plug.
See if that don't correspond to the bottom of the opening for the "Drum & Gear Assembly" part #18. That is the only other way I can see to get gear oil in it is to remove #18 and the clutch 1st.
Thanks for the IPL Brian, you are a prince.

RE: McCulloch 650/660 gear box oil level - Aaron has it correct, stand the saw up with the nose of the bar pointing down, fill to the level of the plug.
For PM610 - Seals & bearings for the 10 Series including the 800/805/850 etc. are readily available on e-bay. I have some in the shop and could try to get some measurements but it won't be for a few days.
Brian - check the bore & stroke as carefully as you can, at least then you will have an idea on the displacement. I couldn't tell from the photo's but the SP60/70 models have a pop up compression release, the 55 and 555 do not have any compression release.

Picked this up last night. This is the PM700 I may have unknowingly snagged from Arrowhead. Sorry about that.
Sure is nice with outstanding compression! All it needs is a spike. Met the fellow at a bar in the middle of nowhere. We walked out to the parking lot and he fired it up in 2 pulls. Definitely a keeper.

I carry a PM700 in the truck almost all the time, just in case you know...never can tell when you might have to clear the trail or something.
The spike for the PM700 is the same as the one(s) on the 600 series saws (93668) and normally come two to a pack as the 600's are all set up for dual spikes.

Super Pro Mac 610
Is a super pro 610 much better than a pro mac 610?
What are some of the differences?

+2 Anyone able to help? I'm wondering if there are any differences too.

If one was lighter than the other, that would be super. Thinner rings? I haven't heard of a super 610.
Acres lists a Super Pro Mac 610. I don't know the difference but I would wager that it has some of the features of a PM650 which McCulloch marketed at the same time as the PM610 but advertised that it's same sized engine "delivers 30 percent more cutting power" than the PM610. Don't ask me what the differences are between a PM610 and a PM650 because I don't know. Ron

I have three IPL's that describe the Super 610 along with several other models (605, 610, 650, Eager Beaver 3.7). Near as I can tell they utilize the same block, same piston, same crank shaft, and all are thin ring versions.
Not sure what is different about it to make it super other than the name plate, you have to give the McCulloch marketing staff some credit as they did seem to know how to get people to buy saws.
