I have a straight gassed 51 that is near new condition can I put a 55 p/c kit on and perhaps a light port job?
Husky 50(44mm), 51(45mm), 55(46mm) and there was a 45mm closed port 55 also
Jonsered 490
Partner 5100
Poulan 325 (I think it was the 325)
All can be interchanged.
Yes, with the exception of the early 50's. They had a different bolt pattern and case.
Yes but no all of them. Have a 50 here that a 51 or 55 cylinder will no bolt to. Narrow bolt pattern on the intake side.Bolt pattern was the same, I swapped a 45mm top end onto a earlier 50. Only difference is the size of the opening in the top of the case and the "lips" on the cylinder.

Doesn't matter in this case, all 51's have the same mount.
There was also a 50 with 45 mm open port cylinder. Same grey top and thumb choke that pushed in on the air cleaner as my 44 mm 50.
I think the 51 may have been the 45 mm open port with the addition of a more normal pull out type choke/throttle lock, perhaps Troll can help me out here?

Johnny I think your right, I have a a 1983 Husky 50 Rancher. I know for a fact that when you dremmel off a bit of the "lips" a 51 Cylinder bolts right on. But I could be wrong.

I guess Partner 5100 is a misprint for the 5000, and the I think you safely can add the P500, 5500, 540 and 543 to the list + the Jonsered 590.

That is what the "official" info fit with, but then there are evidence on here that it isn't always that way.....:msp_confused:
Good thread here.
mweba: yup, model 50 here has an orange cover. will only accept the model 50 cylinder. Piston is 45 mm, flat top. Case tag: Model 50, sn: 0204954.
Baileys piston part number PC1664 B.
SawTroll has an old post about the Model 50 transition made in 1990 with
the serial number cutoff. Can't find it for the life of me this morning....
fwiw
