will that 9 tooth .325 have much more chain speed than a 8 tooth 3/8? they look pretty close in size.

by the way, a while back i was searching for info on that Titan 620 and no one had any idea about it. i found this info the other day for those who are curious or need to know.

Traded a old stihl 015 for another Mac 10-10. Trying to work out a deal with the same guy on a Mini Mac.
This new mac is a pro10-10 as compared to my 10-10 automatic. What are the differences in the 2 besides the Pro being a few years newer?
Can't wait to get it home and get it cleaned up and running.

Chain speed ain't everything... some big slow geardrives take bites that are huge compared to a regular saw... say, 1/2" or 3/4" pitch vs. 3/8"
So... sometimes the big 'slow' ones win simply because their chain takes huge bites... we're talking stock/near stock saw comparisons here, btw... not alky or other hot rod saws.
I personally wouldn't run .325" on an 82cc saw, mainly because the chips would be too small in regards to the proportion of the saw... but if you wanna run it, that's fine with me...

yeah, that's pretty much why i've never done anything with this bar. i don't keep any .325 chain around. heck, i don't have a saw that uses that .325. i was just getting the thoughts of everyone. thanks for the input, when i need to use that bar i'll probably put a 3.8 tip on it. if that 9 tooth .325 was alot faster, it would make up for the smaller teeth with the chain speed. but, i don't keep any chain, presets, or straps for that .325 and don't reckon i'll start stocking that stuff.

I'm with you there. I wounldn't spend much time worrying about it. .325 fulfills a purpose and I feel that 82cc is over-taxing the chain's frame. Swap out sprockets to 3/8 and go for it.

The Pro 10-10 probably has a chain brake that your 10-10A doesn't have. But who knows with all the parts changing that took place out there.
The Mini-Mac will be the easiest saw you ever repair. Seriously. All you need is is about 1 ounce of plastic explosive and about 300' of wire ..... :biggrin:

Some of the 82cc models came with 404, 7 pin, my 850 did and I had it changed to 3/8" before leaving the shop.
That 800 I have is 404.
That 800 I have is 404.

my documentation shows a Mac 10-10A with no chain brake and a right hand start. it also has the SDC3 carb, which is the smaller venturi at 15.88mm
the Pro 10-10 has chain brake and a left hand start. i'm not sure on the carb this one uses, you'll have to tell us.
both could use a .354 or .375 chain
What were you wanting to trade for the Mini-Mac?

Congrats on dumping the stihl for the Pro 10-10. Don't bother with the mini-mac.
The ProMac 10-10 I had was equipped with a chainbrake and a 2 needle SDC. I can't remember the SDC #. McCulloch 10-10A's were built over a LONG time period. I have an IPL (dated June, 1968) for a RH start 10-10A like you describe. They were also built with LH start (and some had chainbrakes). THe 10-10A that I donated to the Stumpy raffle is LH start and has a 2-needle SDC37 built in September of 1972. Has a non CB clutch cover. The IPL I have for that saw shows both CB and non CB clutch covers.
Here's a picture of that saw:
Here's the IPL for this saw:

HA HA HA. I have been told by the guy i "might" get it from. I believe he told me he has cussed that think at least 187,964 times.

We will find something to trade on. We have traded everything from pocket knives to used chickens.

Myself............I'd much rather the stuff that came out of those chickens than another mini-mac. Makes better fertilizer for the wife's garden.
I've always wanted a chicken. Almost bought a chick last time I was in Rural King...

My Mac 10-10A is a left hand start, no chain break.
It is the one that I got running and the screw that holds on the air filter cover did a slow motion break off and headed straight down the carb and destroyed the piston. I rebuilt it again (thanks to mactodd) and absolutely love it. I have wanted another one since I got the first one running.
The Mini mac seems to carry around the same names with everyone, plus a few more. The guy I might get it from has thrown it a time or 2 and every time he talks about it he calls it at least 2 more bad names than the time before. It has been moved from a good bucket to a bad bucket because he said it wasn't worth the good one. I figured I might just have to give it a try.
I will let you know what names I call it if I get it.
I also some day would like to get a big enough mac to run at least a 24" bar. That is my goal in fixing these other saws. I have to get, fix and sale enough to be able to afford a big mac. I am suffering from CAD / black and yellow strain.

That 10-10 didn't have the "hat" on the carb?
Eccentric
Mister Wizard
That makes sense. Don't give up anything of real value for the mini-mac. If you get it, tear it apart with no intention of successfuly getting it back together. If you DO get it back together and running, then it'll be a pleasant surprise. CAD Yellow Fever is bad. Just don't compound things as I have by also contracting Scarlet Fever (Red for Homelite) and GangGREEN for the old Poulans. No hope for you at all then....

Here is another name for them ........ 'SKEET' .............. lmao
Here's an idea for you ... an affordable saw with gobs of torque to pull a 24" bar ..... plentiful parts, too. The 'cinder block' Pro Mac 610 and its various cousins .... all over eBay and CL for <$100.

24"? Get a 250.

My 10-10A has a "U" shaped AF cover stud bracket. Makes it easier to 'prime' a dry saw, but doesn't function as a 'spitback collector' like the 'hat' you pictured does. I've never seen an 'cube carb' (SDC/HS/Zama) equipped 10-series that didn't have the 'hat' like you pictured until I got this saw. The air filter element has a large rubber 'flat' section (around the stud hole) to act as a spitback shield on these saws. I believe the 'hat' was put into place once McCulloch switched to the later style 10-series AF covers and flat air filters. This saw has the complex 'domed' AF element of the older 10-series saws. Check out the IPL I posted a link to a few posts ago to see the bracket and AF element that I'm talking about. Gotta SSS for work now. When I have time after work, I'll shoot a quick pic of the carb and AF stud bracket on the saw before boxing it up to send to UncleMoustache.
Here's that IPL again. The bracket is part #46 on page #13.
