• Mcculloch Pm610 Manual

I used a ProMac 610 which I bought new from late 1992 to early 2000.Very loud with loads of power,more than enough to pull 24' bar with Full Chisel chain.Heavy beast though,started quick when cold,if it was warm or after a refueling you had to wait a while.Weighed 1/3rd more with less RPM's & same horsepower as the Poulan Super 380 that replaced it.The Mac even weighed almost 2 full pounds more than the 288XP with same length bar,and about 2/3rds the power. Was a tempermental SOB,I did like the manual override on the oiler however,dont see that anymore. It sat under bench for 11 yrs,finally sold it on Ebay last March for $65 including a NOS 20' McCulloch bar & NOS air filter.

Started right up with new gas,was sold as a 'project saw'. I have a TimberBear which I believe is almost, if not, the same saw. I had an issue w/ the oiler not automatically oiling. Wasn't oiling at all. But the manual oiler wasn't working either. I screwed in the adjustment screw all the way in (counting turns as I went) and backed it back out again.

Ended up doing this twice and it freed up the oiler. I also decided to turn it out about 6 more turns to open it up more. Went cutting last weekend and it worked well. I also put on a new bar and chain. Here's my saw, I think the 610 is the same?

Click to expand.I have several of those Mac 610's. They were a great saw, and still to this day are definitely worth using. I sold my REALLY nice one to Danno last year, he loves it. As far as I know he used it in Colorado this past summer and cut a PILE of wood with it. Being this was a resurrected thread, I saw it on the forum page and wanted to chime in on the oiler thing.as you already have found out the oiler isn't too bad to change on these saws.

IMO, the oiler was the weak link in the Mac 600 series saws.just a cheesy vacuum oiler, if this saw had a clutch driven oiler it'd be a legend by now.

McC 610 about 3.75 cubes, 60cc. Very similar McC models: 605, Timber bear, etc. Available new with 16'-24' bars,.354 (extremely hard to find now) and 3/8' chain.

One weak point on these saws is the upper av mount for the rear handle is also the airbox, which is a white-metal die casting. If the saw falls off of the back of your truck, handle-first onto the driveway, you'll break it, and parts are unavailable. Auto-oiler on these models wasn't usually very reliable.be certain to give the manual oiler a shove now and them. I've seen them on Ebay for up to about $125. For me that means a real-world value of $50.

I did minor work on a few 610s in the early 80s. They were fair saws, fairly durable, bulky for their power though. Value now wouldn't be very much.

Parts are probably rough to find. It is too bad we can't have easy access to all the McCulloch and Homelite parts that must have been left from all the old dealers that have quit.

I can remember about a dozen closed dealers in a 25 mile circle of here. I remember one old shop (Grubb's in Palastine, Illinois) that had new unsold saws in about 1998 that were probably from the 60s, a ton of parts to. He never wanted to talk about liquidating anything even though he had one foot in the grave. Don't know what happened to the stuff. RE: Butch: I've got 2 610's, one bought in a box of junk at an auction, and one given to me by an old fellow as part payment for taking a tree from his garage roof. Both have broken airboxes. The 610 from the old fellow came with a 24' hardnose bar, and.354 chain.

He also provided a spare chain, also.354. There didn't seem to be enough wear on the bar to have worn out many chains, so I assumed that is what the saw was recieved with from new. A quick check through a couple of sprocket listings showed that a.354 was listed as available from Stens for this series at least until 1990. I realize this proves nothing.a dealer wanting to rid himself of a spool of old chain could have set this up, for example, figuring he could sell the 3/8' sprocket and chain set up later. The 6-10 should be mostly yellow, except maybe black air cleaner lid, and look pretty much like a 10-10.

It will have almost no plastic or rubber parts, except for the pull handle, and fuel hose. The air cleaner cover will have a big 'M' cast right in. If the 6-10 was anything like the 10-10's brother, the 700, it wasn't a bad saw for it's time. The 610 will look 'square' and 'boxy', with about as ugly a brake handle as ever was made. Most of the plastic is yellow, except the airbox lid and it's plastic knob, which are black. The choke knob is green.or is it the oiler?
