I remember when my Dad bought a brand new McCulloch "pro mac" 610 chainsaw in 1979, & how impressed he was with how "lightweight" chainsaws had become. Before purchaing the Mcculloch 610, Dad had an ancient Mono brand chainsaw (which I don't recall ever seeing him use to cut wood) that was probably made in the 1950's. The Mono saw probably weighed 1.5-2 times as much as the Mcculoch 610 saw. Dad did start & run the Mono saw once that I remember, & the saw's engine was very loud, since it had no muffler (from the factory, I believe). Of course, the Mono saw had no chain brake, either. So, its not hard to see why my Dad thought the "modern" Mcculloch chainsaw was quite an improvement over the chainsaws of the 1950's. To me, my Dad's Mcculloch 610 (& other chainsaws of the late 1970's), doesn't seem all that "vintage", as it had electronic ignition, chain brake, automatic & manual chain oiling, rubber vibration isolaters (for the handle) & seemed lightweight (at the time) for the saw's size & power. I sawed quite a lot of wood with that Mcculloch "pro mac" 610, & I don't recall any issues with it. I thought it was a quality chainsaw. I might have still had that chainsaw, but when I learned that Mcculloch had gone out of business, I guessed that parts support for the saw might become difficult, so I decided to sell the saw, & the brand new 24 inch bar & chain that I bought for it, on Ebay, probably over 10 years ago. The saw still ran great when I sold it. As for Dad's old Mono chainsaw relic, I got it running (it ran well), & sold it as a collector saw on Ebay, as well.

Best saw ever got mine from my boss back in 91 for 50 bucks Ben great since

I bought a 610 and a Super 77 Homelite at a auction last saturday. The 610 only needed fresh gas. ran like new. I dont get along well with plastic saws vibration isolation and roller tip bars. So I gave the saw to my eldest son.

Yeah I have 2 also got them to fire up but hard time keep running, pretty sure they need carb or seal kits

Those Mcbricks are good ol saws!😁

Sweet pro Mac 610

Someone just gave me one of these where do I start with this heavy mug? This one looks like its been sitting for a while.

Is it normal for a PM 610 that oil comes out of the chain tightening screw?
