Buckin, I just found your channel 2 days ago and have barely slept from watching your content around the clock. Completely addictive. I’m 60 and just retired, still in good shape but haven’t run a saw in 20 years. My dad put me on an 18lb Echo as an 11 year old in the 70’s and I was hooked right away. You’re making me want to run out and buy a new Husky, get it ported and piped and just listen to it in the garage. Keep it coming for us old guys reliving some great memories and thinking about making some new ones.
That 54cc McCulloch amazed me when you made that cut. I just watched the history on McCulloch couple days ago and I knew nothing prior to that. Thank you for sharing all you do.
There are very likely hundreds of thousands of these old Mac's still running and being used all over the USA. They were dirt cheap decades ago and homeowners all over the USA were buying them. In the fifty or so years I have owned one since it was brand new I have only had to change the pull chord on time. Using a bit longer pull chord makes starting it far easier.
My wifes uncle was cleaning his garage yestarday and dropped off to me a pro mac 10-10. Popped off with a little gas dumped in the carb. I cant wait for the carb kit and fuel line to get here. I have wanted to run one for a long time
Saws that settle down are saws that leak air when cold and as they warm like the SR 71 blackbird leaks fuel when cold they tighten up and quit leaking!
I've been running a 1968 right hand start 10-10 I rebuilt and I love that saw, so nice to use. You're right about Macs and horses buck'in, no need to get all excited when working with them, let them set the pace. Always a thumbs up. 👍
I'm almost 44, I can remember when I was younger my old man tell me a story in the late seventies he wanted to become a Mac dealer and had a certain amount of time to sell I think eight of these 650 pro Max so him and my uncle got bunch of other buddies together and they had them all sold in 4 days and he told me the story of them taking two of them and cutting up an aluminum Tire rack and making a go-kart that about killed the most of them but I still have one of those first saws he had to sell.
