The beginnings of another MS440/460 Hybrid

[blsnelling]

I posted a thread in the Trading Post last week looking for a nice 044/MS440. Well, I certainly found what I was looking for! This baby is like new. As it turns out, I ported this saw when new. It's only been used a couple times and has been setting on the shelf, as you can tell. Thank you to the seller, you know who you are. I appreciate doing business with you. And to the new owner, I'm pleased to have found you such a nice saw to build from.

I gotta say, I really like dem hybrids and stuffs

You gonna do a full on build thread?

 

[blsnelling]

I'm thinking it also needs 661R dual dawgs, roller chain catcher, and a DP muffler cover as well!

I might. We'll have to wait and see.

That's a nice clean 440!! Brad's hybrids run well I must say.

skip the 661 dogs

The 661R dawgs aren't as long as the standard 661 dawgs. I'm not a fan of huge dawgs and think these make a nice match. I have a set I'll throw on for kicks and see what you think.

 

[blsnelling]

I haven't yet pulled the filter cover, but I think this saw probably came with an HD2 filter.

Nice, what are you doing with the 440 P&C.

 

[blsnelling]

It will be sold. I'll post more details on that once it's pulled. However, it's basically a brand new, ported, OEM topend.

 

[Deets066]

what top end are you useing? 046, 460, 461?

 

[Milkman31]

Sweet!!!!!!

I know the hybrids run great, but I would have trouble making one out of a healthy saw! That said, 044/440 parts saws are not reasonably priced.

It was pretty easy for me

 

[MustangMike]

Was yours a ported, low hour 440??? Just sayin, would seem like you could find a better candidate.

 

[Deets066]

If your goin to build a hybrid or any saw, wouldn't you want it to be in good condition?

You port a saw to get more power, make it a ported hybrid for more power yet.
