Husqared 3171

Yeah Mike kept at me and got me thinking about a shirt getting sucked into the flywheel. So I put my redneck mind to work.

I actually did NOT think of that happening. That could be bad!

Sawtroll, I think I will likely leave the HD6 on it. It seems to run just fine right now, and it's not like the saw will see alot of use anyways. I have the parents to this saw, a 372xp and a 2171 in good working order

Heck I got some red pieces here still. Get me to long lengths and I'll put some in a envelope.

Despite being a frankensaw; it's still sexy in my book cause it's a Swedish saw...

 

[Landmark]

Love it!!!!!!!

Finished product!
Big felling dawgs on an 18" Windsor bar. Seemed fitting for this saw



........

It would mostly be, around here!

Time for beer!

You got that right!

Most 372ish saws around my parts run 20" bars, occasionally 24". The trees just aren't big enough to warrant bigger bars than that. Plus they cut real good with the shorter bars in hardwood

Great thread, great rebuild. Got to appreciate a good work saw. I would use the heck out of that saw and and take pride in it.

Thanks also for rescuing us from all the boring banter about the ms241 and ms661.

Yeah, who likes Stihl's anyways? They're just orange and white. BORING!

18" is a common bar length on those saws in Scandinavia. I had 16, 20 and 24" bars for mine, I never used the 16", the 24" was used once, and the rest of the time I used the 20", that also was on it when it was stolen a couple of years + ago.

Good to see it ended well. Nice work.

 

[blsnelling]

I love it! That thing is so ugly it's cool, lol

If you're not going to give it any work now, you could always send it to me.

Send me your 2188 and we got a deal!

It might come back half orange though, I got a 385xp here, and I'm getting itchy for another project

 

[Jim Timber]

LOL That saw has 3 tanks on it.

 

[Chris_In_VT]

Mine has half a tank on the current setup for test cuts

The combination of the parts though, has probably cut ALOT of wood.
The case halves and jug came off saws owned by a logger in Maine.

 

[Jim Timber]

Mine came out of a collection in PA.

I think it had culture shock when it got thrown in the back of the Tahoe with 3 other saws and a brush cutter. I'd like to think it's happy like a wild animal free'd from the zoo.

A saw only a mother (builder?) could love

Well I do have an HD12 carb off the 2171, I just decided to rebuild the HD6 because the other carb was missing the throttle plate\rod, but I guess I could just swap the parts\rebuilt kit over and run the HD12.

The 371 I built had the HD-6 I like it.

 

[Chris_In_VT]

The 371 I built had the HD-6 I like it.

Yeah, it was nice not to trim the tabs down.
It works, it's all rebuilt, I'm gonna keep it.
The HD12 I have is an unknown, I could rebuild it and it could end up being junk. Guess I'll find out if I need it someday.

Look for the numbers I mentioned - they will tell the venturi size if they are there (in 64ths of an inch)....

 

[rattler362]

Chris looks like you did a great job on your build I got a chance to use mine yesterday doing a bit noodling and am very pleased the way it turned out mine has been done for a long time I have just been grabbing the 262.
