While the ebay parts seller was here getting 3 saws from me. He
told me he had about 600 saws and one of them is a McCulloch 10
10 gear drive. Mac 70 something ? Anyone got info so I can
learn about this.

I can get you his ebay seller info. He said is had the number
70 in it from what I can recall. Hmmm KP outdoors comes to mind
off hand.
I know about the electric starts but didnt ask. Was a neat idea
back in the day.

That saw is likely a G70. There were a number of 54-70cc
10-series gear drives.
I have a 5-10G plus a parts saw and a partial carcass. Will
build a nice runner out of the lot at some point. There are
many saws ahead of it in the project line. IIRC, it had a 32"
or so bar and a loop of 1/2" on it when I got it.

I ran some mac gear drive that belonged to Al Smith that
impressed the heck out of me. Wasnt like no slow gear drive I
ever seen before.

The only reason I can possibley think of for running reduction
on a 10 series saw is possibley a lighter weight saw that could
handle longer bars .
It would make sense for example how a 700 would have more RPMs
than say an 80 or 87 c cc reed engine but it certainly would not
have the torque of a reeder .

That was 650 which is 87 cc .That engine runs at over 9,000
under load and it's a two to one reduction .It's dandy but heavy
as lead .

Sounds like a 7-10 with a gearbox the G-70 out here in Australia
the railways used them on bridge construction
