I have a Mac 10-10 dating back to the early 70's. It still runs decent although I am having a hard time finding a chain. Anyone know a part # for a chain for a Mac 10-10 with 16" bar. Thanks

You can get the sawchainfor your 10-10 just about anywhere that sells chains, That is with the provision that you arent using a .354 pitch or .5 inch pitch chain as they are pure unobtainium now.I prefer round chisel chains in clean wood but use semichisel chains more than full chisel because semi stays sharper longer for me.Also, you can just buy the chain in 100' reels and spin your own loops of chain to fit your saw. I use Oregon 72 chisel chain on my Jonsered and Carlton A1 semi chisel on my Homelite 330.I use the 330 for cutting up the dirty logs and things like that, the Jonsered 670 for clean wood and the like.

Hey there,I have over 20 types of McCulloch saws and have never had a problem finding chains. As the others have said, just find a good local saw shop. Take the saw with you and the old chain. That way there will be no questions. I know a lot of people don't work on saws anymore but look around. Also do yourself a favor and pick up a spare air filter for that saw. Jeff

Where do you find parts for McCullochs? I inherited one from my father-in-law and the folks around here say they can't get parts for it.

Greg, If the saw has not been modified it will take a 3/8" pitch, 50 gauge, 60 drive link chain.

Oregon 72V-060 @ the link below is a low kickback consumer type chain. It is a common chain that can be found at some home center type retailers.

If you want a more agressive semi-pro type chain with less kickback protection, look up 72LP or LG @ oregonchain.com. Also a common chain, mostly saw shops.

Any saw dealer can cross oregon chain to other brands.

Hi Greg,

Well, I certainly would not keep looking for some "official" McCulloch chain. I've owned a number of Macs over many years and never used a Mac chain. I happen to like Oregon, a big name manufacturer of chain saw chain. That 10-10 is the same (3.3ci) size-wise as a 3-10 that my Dad used to have. That saw likely has a 3/8" pitch, 0.050" gage chain. Any original chain for that saw would not be a modern safety type of chain but was probably a semi-chisel w/o special anti-kickback features. You should be able to take your old chain to about any local place that sells chain saw chain and have them make you up a loop. I would prefer an independent small engine repair outfit that works on chainsaws rather than some official saw dealer, but that's just me. You will be unlikely to find any dealer that sells Mac saws or parts. McCulloch went down the tubes a long time ago. Rightly so to, but that's another story. If you are not interested in the most modern safety chain and want an excellent cutting chain for that saw (clean wood only) then I would recommend an Oregon round-ground chisel chain like 72LP or 72LG. A semi-chisel chain like the Oregon 72DP would be a better choice if the wood was not perfectly clean. If you are interested in full safety chain, ask where you buy. They should be able to fix you up with that also. If you don't have an existing chain to go by, that 10-10 should have 60 drive links for a 16" bar. No guarantee though :o).
