A 125 sure would be cool to add to my small yellow collection.The 57 cc McCulloch saws (PM55, 555, 570, 10-10S) are very nice. Definitely a big step up from the 54 cc models.

PM55, 7-10 and SP125 are a great trio.

The pm55 is a 57cc . They quite a good saw, I currently have 2? I just gave one to my younger cousin for his millilng and firewood projects.So I was wondering if the PM55 was 54 or 57 cc.
I just tore one down yesterday.
Initially it looks pretty bad. Siezed, and lots of white oxidation in the tanks and inside the cylinder/stuffer area.
After a little compressed air, not too bad. Maybe I can save it, but it will take a lot of work. I have a good 1010S cylinder if port timing etc is the same.
Got the cylinder soaking to see if it lets go without taking the plating(I'm assuming its a chrome bore) with it.
Here ya go .10-10S left hand side .Later model 10-10 right hand .Of note I'm not saying nor disputing points type ignitions but it says "electronic ignition " I have no idea when is was made .I'd have to take inventory to actually know how many 10-10's I have .all except one were freebies and that one was in a box of McCulloch parts I bought off flea bay that the shipping cost more than the 40-50 pounds of stuff I bought that took two boxes .Got any pics of that 10-10S? Should be a late 90's model?
I might add regarding the model 10-10 .It's kind of like the iconic model 1894 Whinchester 30:30 rifle over the years has taken more deer than all the others combined .This model of McCulloch has probabley cut more firewood . It's not the fastest but as a rule is bullet proof .Some vibrate and some don't .I have no idea why .Here ya go .10-10S left hand side .Later model 10-10 right hand .Of note I'm not saying nor disputing points type ignitions but it says "electronic ignition " I have no idea when is was made .I'd have to take inventory to actually know how many 10-10's I have .all except one were freebies and that one was in a box of McCulloch parts I bought off flea bay that the shipping cost more than the 40-50 pounds of stuff I bought that took two boxes .
I was assuming it would be a 12 volt system for boosting cars, trucks, etc. But you make a good point about it being made my LearI'm going to guess that thing is used for starting jet engines, being made by Lear Aviation. Be kind of inconvenient to have a generator with throttle trigger!
Mark really should have that for the museum...I was assuming it would be a 12 volt system for boosting cars, trucks, etc. But you make a good point about it being made my Lear
That is what I was thinking too.Mark really should have that for the museum...
