Hey Mark, I just got a Montgomery Ward 24086A and was told it is very similar to the McCulloch 605.

605 or a 610. Does the brake flag on the starter side, does it go almost to the bottom? The 605 only has the standard style small brake flag at your hand.

Is that a cuss a lot, hope it starts 3214 next to it.

The MW saw is the 610 in a slightly different color. It seems like all the ones I have seen are missing the brake handle.

I think those had the full hand brake.

what was the purpose or application for right hand start? all i can see are a lot of disadvantages.......

I know im probably wrong, but the only thing I could see is they though maybe it was easier to start the saw using your dominant hand, which in most cases was the right hand.
But thats just my thoughts lol, not worth much.
We look at a lot of things as 'standard' now, but a lot were developed by trial and error, experimentation, etc. Some of those other things look weird or unusual now, but practically nothing on a modern saw looks like what they did on early saws. JMHO

Here is a better pic. It still has the brake handle. It was missing filter & cover, which i found on E-bay. Now, the only thing that seems to be missing is the choke linkage.

Except the jonsereds because they were ahead of the game lol
Silver top 80 - came out in 1972
Rubber AV system
80cc
power head weight of 17lbs
free spin rpm of 10,700. Still a bit low but pretty high for 1972 with big displacement.

Cool looking saw.
Couldn't you get the big spikes?

I thought about getting the big spikes but I didn't want them to make my saw look small

90% of all gear drives are set up where the bar bolts on the left side, I know the G-70 was early 70s, a lot if the early 10 series chassis were right hand start around that time even the direct drive saws.

I just hate how close the lever is on mine, wearing heavy insulated gloves, my hand is right up against it.

I think the RH start 10 Series were just a carry over from the RH start large frame saws. Starting one of the large frame RH saws is pretty natural provided you can lay it over a log or set it up on a bench. The RH start 10 Series are less natural but you figure it out quickly enough.
On the large frame gear drive saws, you could mount the bar on the left (more centered) for better balance or on the right for flush cutting. The 10 Series did not have the same option.
