I'm A pretty big Husky fan, but have a chance to get a used, but well cared for, low hour Stihl 044 Mag.
It's hard to turn down the $150.00 price the guy wants for it and thats with a (spare bar,Spare new chain, and a gallon of bar oil).
Long story short the young man inherited it from his grandfather who has now passed on and he needs the money for a car payment. I'm going to check it out in and hour or so.
In talking to the guy it sounds like the guy doesn't realize what he has. Being that I'm a Husky Buff here's my questions...
Does anyone know the dates of manufacture for the 044 model saw? and if there were any substantial problems with that model
that prompted Stihl to update to the 440 magnum? in what year did this update come?
Thanks in advance for the replies they are appreciated.
