Definitely neglected.A neglected 1-10 and beaten to a pulp. That's my guess on the model number. The saw's condition is not a guess -- it's a fact.
What are the favorite chainsaws in Japan?There should be some kind of marking on the saw body - older Macs had the numbers punched in at the bottom of the crankcase. Most 10-series saws I have seen have markings in the air filter box - usually a metal tag. I have never encountered a 1-10 or 2-10 over here, though...
Per Acres, Both the 1-10 and the 2-10 had an automatic oil pump with manual override.My vote for 2-10. My 2-10 is bullfrog and also 1-10 has a yellow top. Check for an automatic oil pump also
The mainstream brand in the 60ies and 70ies were McCulloch and Homelite, I guess. After that Husqvarna, Stihl, Echo, Zenoah, Shindaiwa, Tanaka and most brands still available these days. Dolmar never really managed to penetrate the market deeply, but there were some regional Dolmar strongholds before the Makita takeover.What are the favorite chainsaws in Japan?
Most likely a 2-10, could also be a 3-10 as both had the black tops and bullfrog carburetors. Both of my 1-10 saws have yellow tops and manual oilers only, one has an SDC and the other has a bullfrog. The 3 different 2-10 models I have (2-10, 2-10 Super, 2-10 PS for Powersharp) all have automatic oilers. 3-10 have the automatic oilers as well.

I just read your thread on the Mac carbs. Thanks for posting that. I have a Mac 840 that fires but does not run.Most likely a 2-10, could also be a 3-10 as both had the black tops and bullfrog carburetors.
