We tend to like machines we understand, and are familiar with. What I like about Mcculloch from a user stand point is how strong they run. They can pull that longer bar in my experience because they make a little more power with the same amount of cc's. That said, we have all had the one SXL, or 10-10 that ran a little better than the rest, and I knew a logger that only used the Mcculloch 125, and he said most were bad out of the box. He either had his mechanic go through it or put in a 101b engine if he could find one.

Hey nice work even though it’s not what you’d like to be working on. I have a lot of homelites and love them, Mac also has a lot of cool features and the performance is great. I have a 10-10 I found in pieces in a barn and it’s made a fantastic saw. Thanks for all your great info and work.

Those mufflers always directed the exhaust upwards toward the operator. The 600 series were more prevalent in this area. On my own saws I made a deflector that shot it out to the side. Most users in those days never wore muffs & it was a welcome change.

Great video sir.

Don't forget to blame Bucking for the popularity of Pioneers too . Use to be able to pickup any Mac on ebay cheap --- not anymore same with the Pioneers . I just picked up a Pro Mac 700 from a lawnmower repair shop that a customer want $100 for it with a Mac bar and it ran but I did a trade for three 3200 Mac's and one 3500 Mac and one 3818 Mac which all I restored with bars and chains . The shop already traded one for a tiller and I haven't checked back to see if he moved any more of them . The shop started the 700 when he got it but it sat for about two weeks before I got it . I didn't even use the decomp , pull it one time with the choke on and it fired up . It's cold nature but after running a few all's good , I'm sure carb needs adjusting or rebuilt .

Hey I've been working on a mac 10 10 and it's about to win the battle. I cleaned the carb put a new carb kit I know I installed everything right put it back together set the high and low to like 1 and a quarter turn starts runs fine but as soon as I give it full throttle it runs out of gas wants to die so I changed the fuel filter is my fuel line too small because it's old or maybe carb issue? Can someone help please I can't get it figured out. I tried to richen the high and it doesn't help

All of the older mechanics in this area cussed all McCullochs! Claimed they wouldn't keep their tuned state. Whether that's true or not, no idea.

Cussing lets bad energy get out and lets a person remain calmer quicker...to the task on hand...

Good Mac recoil video, could do without the cussing…
