I just purchased an old McCulloch 10-10A off of craigslist.org. I put a 20' Windsor roller tip bar on it with a 72/72 chain and it seems to cut great. It runs great and screams pretty nice as well. I have sawed up about a 1/4 of a cord today from a fallen tree and it runs great. I was wondering if anyone has a McCulloch 10-10A Service Manual in .PDF format. Which spark plug does this saw use? Fuel/Oil Mixture? 40:1? Also, does anyone know which screw adjusts the idle? If anyone has answers to these questions, please write back. Thanks.

Well, maybe not quite every feature. By the mid-70s, the starter had been moved from the right side to the left so a chain brake could be added, and there was a more comfortable rubber-coated handle available. (These two saws are both 10-10's, but were built up from several different saws, explaining why the labels on the air cleaners are not correct.) These saws handled nicely, but vibrated so badly that your hands felt fuzzy by the end of the day, and what they lacked in power they more than made up in pure noise, even though McCulloch tried at least three different mufflers over the years.
But by this time the foreigners were here, the American manufacturers seemed to be concentrating on making toy chain saws for homeowners, OSHA had arrived and was nosing around, and it was a whole new ball game...
