Here's mine.
It runs, but I haven't really had a chance to mess with it.

Hey there I am new to the site but not old saws. Below are pics of my 10-10. Model # 60001, serial # 10-11809. Mine seems to have an uncommon airfilter cover in that it is all yellow with just black letter and the Mac logo. Even the specs on the Mike Acres site shows a different cover in the pic for this model and all the IPL's I have found show one too. Don't know if this is an early production run or not. Can anyone provide any insight into this?
Saw is all original and runs but I need to rebuild the carb. I got it for 10 bucks and then set it aside for a couple of years while I finished restoring my 250. Just pulled it out and getting ready to get it restored.
Thanks,
Tom
Hiya Tom ... welcome to AS!
Aaron will be along at any moment to tell you all you need to know about that saw. All I can contribute is that it probably doesn't have an automatic oiler, as I believe those carried a 'designation' with them. Looks to be in very good overall shape, though.
The 700 appears to have been ridden hard, that is not an original clutch cover for that one.

Here is the best 10-10 I have.
A nice couple saws there HJ! Our men's church group had a saw maint 101 workshop yesterday morning, kind of a mini GTG, after our round of B/C maint and basic saw tunage, we went outside and cut some oak(green), and some ash. There was my PM700, a Stihl 028WB, and an 044. The PM700 has a 28" bar with full skip chisel chain, the 044 had a 32" bar with semi-skip chisel chain. We went head to head, me and the 044, there wasn't a lot of hope for the stihl, longer bar, more ore teeth in the cut, with bars mostly buried the Mac walked away from the stihl. If b/c's had been matched up closer mebbe would have been a fairer comparison. The Mac sure pulls harder. Oh, BTW, my other 10-10A, looks good, has good comp, spark, just will need a carb kit.Picked up 2 more yesterday, a super 10-10A and a SP55
Hey Jim - I have never heard of an SP55, are you sure about that one? If so, I might be willing to make it worth your while...
Going back up a few posts, I have a1969(?) brochure that shows the Mac 10-10 and 10-10A, the 10-10 has the yellow top and the 10-10A has the black top just like several photo's in this thread show them.

Primed directly with a shot of gas, and it popped right off, first
Pull! Going to be another good runner,
For 10.95:msp_thumbup:
I think you would be pleasantly surprised to know that that PM700 would still have walked away form the 044 with the longer bar and chain, where the 044 would have bested you would be with a shorter bar and chain. My SP81 with a 24 inch bar is a little slower in the cut than my ms441 with a 25, but strap on 32 inch bars and chains and the SP81 easily walks away. I know there is a little displacement advantage with the mac but the 441 is a lot newer by about 40 years.
Probably explains why it faded away. I've never run a big saw, but those I've run, vibration has never been an issue.Running the Mac 10-10A for any length of time results in hands still shaking hours after its use.
