I have a PM 610 sitting in my shop. I got it running a year or so ago, but it is to heavy to do much with it. I also have an XL-12 but don’t use it for the same reason. If I want to cut something I grab my Stihl 021 or 024. If I need some real grunt I grab my MS 260 Pro or my 026 Pro. After toting all those boat anchors you usually tote the Pro MAC probably feels light but it ain’t. Mine weighs 21.25# and my Homelite weighs 20#, go figure.
I just pulled one from the trash! It has great compression but missing top air filter cover and pulley cover plan to get it running regardless. Curious do you know how to date them? Mine looks exactly like yours. And did yours run when you got it or did you rebuild carb?
No it has both high and low. Since the carb is mounted "vertically" one is on top of the other, lowest is "low speed", upper a conventional high speed :)
The cracking sound of that saw is the best
What an iconic sound. Takes me back to cutting firewood with my dad. His sounded just like that.Thank you for posting this!!
My hands are going numb just watching you run that old Mac.😊
Vintage saw day. You know you are cutting for fun when the old ones come out.
Hope you avoid any more close encounters with trees Walt. Stay well and stay safe!
Pro Mac 60 , one of my favorite saws.
Oh that mcculloch sound....ain't nothing like it, they sound so good!
As always a very good video! Love those oil Mac's ! Would love to see a review on the Mac 610- 650 series of saw. Any chance of you doing one?
Eventually, going to graft a useful bar onto this one first. Have some other stuff as well.
Nice to see a mac on the channel
Had alot of those saws when I was younger, thats all they sold around here in the 70s
Our mac dealer became a stihl / mac dealer. Than sold out to the constance family tgey still have mac parts from when they bought payne brothers out.

It “seems like” a prime candidate for a Donny Walker treatment. That brand is what the Walker family earned their reputation with.
My 60 is mean but i got to tear it down and replace the manual oiler pickup and oiler.
Could be a fun project, think I need to explore some of the vintage saws again. In between log jobs so hobby comes back
The carb is it only adjustable on the low?

Audio didn't come thru for me Walt.
McCulloch was ahead of the pack till Stihl and Husqvarna showed up!
Is that a single jet?
? Not sure the reference :)
