My Best Friend's New, To Him, Pro Mac 610!!

Wanted to put a quick video up for my best friend. Just got his new power saw in the mail. Love these old Macs. All the way from Stayton, OR; a strong running Pro Mac 610.

thats a win. i love my Mc bricks; 605, 610, 650. they are reliable and quite powerful.

I use a battery powdered 1/4 inch impact driver to remove the nut on the clutch. (absolute best method) When I buy a used saw I always remove the clutch and grease the bearing. The 600 series McCulloch's are excellent saws.

Post videos again, I just found your channel it made me absolutely giddy to find a small town southern man that runs saws, bikes and more!!! God Bless you and your family brother!!

I just bought an old 610 from the 80's for $10 and did a complete tear-down and cleaning -- the spark arrester was clocked really bad causing it to run like crap -- runs like a brand new chainsaw after a thorough cleaning -- didn't even have to clean the carb ! Runs like a champ now ! The 1 time owner said it would not start for some reason and was selling it for

I cold-start my 610 like this:
Press the gas button and engage the lock button on top of the handle by pulling it back with your thumb (the gas is locked in the full position). Pull the choke knob out (the grey-blue one on the right of the handle). Make sure the ignition switch is on. Give 1 or 2 pulls on the startcord and when it runs, push the choke button in.
Warm start: same routine with the gas knob but no choke.
1 pull is all it takes.
I always start my machine like this with only a few pulls even if it has not ran for a few years and it never failed me.

I bought a 610 new back in the mid 80's, great saw. Still have it, like new.

Nice work!
I inherited a 610 from my dad. it's practically brand new. got a young oak to cut up in the back yard. We'll find out if it really is a total POS like most seem to think. I'm hopeful they're wrong👍

I have m.pm.610, sinc 1982 it is very strong machin, exelant.

If you hear the nose bearing moaning louder than it should - you might wanna reset the chain tensioning to at least a bit less tighter

Stayton Oregon....? That's where I went to Highschool!

[joshbolton]

I have 3 of the old macs. Two are daily work horses. That saw needs to have the low jet fattened up. High jet is a little fat.

Hello my friend, I have the same chainsaw, it belonged to my grandfather. Do you know how much horsepower it has?

[roryfrazier]

To remove the clutch cover you take bar nuts off then the nut right above them not the bolt on the opposite side

[dersoloist]

the manual oiler works, but does the automatic oiler works also ? the most automatic oiler does not work.

[roryfrazier]

The chain is sluggish as well probably because it's not on the actual sprocket, common mistake

[alanoberhammer]

I’m looking for a aftermarket clutch for my pm610. You mind posting the link of where you got yours?

[jamesbyars]
