Husqvarna Sticky!

[Sepia]

I don't work on a lot of Husqvarna saws but I have a 450 that I just put an AM piston and cylinder on (from The Duke). The brake band was broken so I have one ordered, but I am worried that this brake handle won't effectively engage the operator (knee joint?).

If I need a new brake handle, what are the best options?

Thanks,

Mark

A new oem handle is 17 bucks from Firedog.

Just wondering if anyone has an answer to my previous question about the operator presence lever?

Maybe post your question in the main Chainsaw forum to get a few more eyeballs.

My 444SG that I just finished. I am going to do a thread for this saw in the main forum but will post a couple pics here anyway.

Two on-off switches?

Is the Husky 38 a true Husqvarna saw, or did someone else design it?

Not Sweden made if that is what your asking on this 38. http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.n...e16edc37d88c81e588256b5200155141?OpenDocument

Beginning chainsaw collector here

Just bought a tote full of Husqvarna parts saws. There’s remnants of a 365, a 340 and a 181se. I’ll attach a picture as all these are in pieces. Does husky part numbers work like Stihl where they can identity which saw the part came off of? Would like to sort through this pile and as best I can divide by each saw. Thanks!

No, that's one of my beefs with Husky. It looks like everything in the first picture is 181 except for the 365 carcass and the cylinder to the far right. 2nd pic, Idk about the bag but everything that isn't the 340 carcass appears to be 181 stuff.

 

[EKreider89]

I’ll attach a picture of the bags and their contents.

 

[EKreider89]

So of these two cylinders the one with the muffler and carb would be for the 181? And is there anything to do about the presumed mag rot to both these cylinders?

Also appears that I’m missing everything in between the case halves.

Everything in those two pics except for the coil is for a 181, the coil is off either the 340 or 365. It looks like both cylinders are for a 181.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting

After sandblasting would they be usable?

Just do the outside with a soda or very fine glass media.
Pictures of the cylinder plating inside are required to determine whether they are usable.
If the plating isn't badly chipped or worn a simple cleaning with a green scotch brite works well.

Here’s one of the cylinder. It doesn’t appear to be very bad.

And here’s the other cylinder. There is a small path with some chipping. Doesn’t look as good as the other one.

Like I mentioned earlier, I’m just a beginner, so this may be a tricky question for you guys to answer over the internet.

What kind of reputation does the 181se have? Is a this one that worthy of a rebuild? I don’t have a saw this big yet. My biggest is a 038av super. Or is this best to just be parted out? It’s in rough shape and would need parts. Give me some options and guidance. Thanks!

Ive heard the 181se was the top 5cube saw in race class for years and was very respectable in many circles.
Definitely worth the effort to rebuild.

What’s the term 5cube mean?
