Does anyone know anything about a McCulloch Pro Mac 10-10 saw? I found a used one but the seller knows nothing about it.
Looking for how many CC's the motor is, relative horsepower etc.
Is this a good saw or is it more of a wall hanger?
What's it going to be like to run a old boy like this all day?
Any help is much appreciated!!!

I joined this site, JUST TO respond to this question, as you seam to getting A LOT of bogus answers..
These saws are INCREDIBLE MACHINES!!!! In EVERY way shape and form..
AND I MEAN FAR BETTER!!!!! than the 8,000 dollar Husqvarnas ever dreamed of being...
I am a small engine guy FOR A LIVING!! I have worked on them all.. Siihl makes a really reliable strong smooth running saw, BUT they are HARD AS HELL!!! to work on..
Husqvarna make s strong running saw, they (tend to) start and run pretty great.. BUT!!!! They wear out, and sometimes DON'T START worth a ****...

If ANYONE!!!!!!! EVER TELLS YOU!!! a Mcculloch is impossible to start, or is a boat anchor, has either ONLY OWNED one that is just totally ran to death, never mainatined, and ALWAYS OWNED by someone who has no idea what they are doing in the first place.. I have a few different makes and models of Mcculloch saws that I USE personally, (not for sale) BECAUSE ALTHOUGH the thing is FIFTY YEARS OLD!! It ALWAYS!! starts and pulls like a *****..
Case in point.. I had one (sold it to be rebuilt into a vintage gokart engine) UNLIKE people do with Husqvaranas.. This thing was a 1964 model.. HEAVY... LOUD... just a bear to use everyday.. It had so many damned miles on it, IT WAS impossible to start.. SO, first time of the day running it, I just dumped a shot of gas down the throat to get it going.. Once it barked and warmed up it stared fine all day after that... That is a matter of the engine having extremely high miles.. Rings and seals and stuff wear out... STILL RUNS AND CUTS JUST FINE!!! I mean would outrun my brother in laws (smaller) BUT BRAND NEW and modern design, Husqvara that WORE OUT WORE OUT!! JUNK!!! in 2 years....
The one I use now, is a Mcculloch Super Pro 70... OLD 1970's saw.. Pretty well the ame saw you are talking about, only 20 years older.. THIS SAW I bought from a SCRAP YARD!! for 6 dollars.. It is BY FAR!! The strongest running saw I've had or held... Evidently it was junked do to a leaking seal between the oil tank and engine crank case, because anything over 1/2 tank of oil, will end up burning strait through the engine... I just never fill it more than 1/2 way and it's fine.. If I really cared, I would split the motor and give it a going through.. But it gets used constantly, and I really don't care..
MY NEIGHBOR, good buddy of mine, has a BRAND NEW!!! Husqvarna.. I can't remember the model, but i do remember while back him saying it was 60 some CC's.. HIS SAW WILL NOT EVEN TURN OVER most the time.. I mean pull the rope.. AND NOTHING THERE!!!
have to pull the rope 1/2 dozen times berfore it catches.. Last night he sat there beating the side of the engine trying to get his rope to engage..
I will give the saw credit, as the carburetor is a little lean.. I tell him all the time he should let me tweak it for him, but he doesn't seam that worried about it refusing to wind out for the first minute until it is warm..
That being said, it runs and cuts pretty damned good once it is finally running..
MY SAW!!!! On the other hand.. STARTS RITE UP!! EVERY TIME!!!
It has an old fashion stupid bar with NO ROLLER AT ALL at the tip, and is pulling a WORN OUT TO DEATH stretched and leaning 20 inch chain around it... The engine eats chain lube if you over fill it.. and IT'S ALREADY FORTY PLUS YEARS OLD!!!!
My saw is just a fraction larger cubic inches wise, but has cut more wood than Erics saw ever will, is 40 years in the dark ages technology wise, and is an old man.. and cuts just about exactly the same as erics saw does.. we are just about a dead match, with ME HAVING the %1 advantage.....
I work on smalll engines for a living.. I am HERE TO TELL YOU!!!!!!! There is NO SUCH THING as a GOOD modern chainsaw.. Not even Mcculloch makes one... Tree Huggers have them so Eco friendly, that they are totaly impossible to adjust to run as it should, and china's economy, has made impossible to build a decent saw, for the same price as chinese crap.. These two factors have made anything you buy pretty well chinese junk.. You can spend THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!!!!
THOU!!!! SANDS!!!! FOUR DIGIT PRICE TAGS on these big bad brand new Husqvarans...
and they don't start,.. HELL.. it won't even TURN OVER!!! and once it IS RUNNING.. you had better make it count, because it's so eco-Friendly, is gonna totally MELT DOWN and be worn out JUNK!!! in ten years...
My saw... If i am hogging through a HUGE dead and hardened standing Dutch Elm stump, it's dry as gunpodwer, and hard as marble... I can just smash in the (oiler) button with my thumb, and PYSICALLY PUMP more oil to the chain.. a new sa wont do that.. I can rebuild mine with a screwdriver.. a Modern Stihl won't let you FIND THE CARB!!!....
Buy this saw and you'll love it..
