I'm looking for an early tank....(2) of them actually....
I've got a nice MS440 hybrid, but have wanted to build an early 044. I'm starting with an early 10mm saw that I picked up off Ebay. I will be fitting a 12mm crank into this saw, and installing it with new crank bearings. The angled fin cylinder has a lot of the NiSi worn through. Fortunately, I have another nice one that I will be using. I've not yet decided if I will be using a Meteor 12mm 044 piston or a thin-ring Husky piston. It depends on the piston height difference, once I get to that point.
I've noticed that 044s have used different tanks, filler caps, air filter covers, model plates, etc. I'd love to see you guys minty 044s
Here's what I'm starting with. The saw is all apart and cleaned up now.
What are you after with this build? a new old 044? I understand the 10mm saw had better numbers, does anyone know specifically what numbers? were there any other performance enhancements?
looking forward to seeing the end product.

Got a bunch of older 044/ 046 tanks.....but don't want any greasy mitts on them......Hahahahahaha!
i don't know why or what it is ,but my old 044 sounds angrier than a 440
Basically, I want a copy of an early 10mm saw, but with 12mm durability. I'd love to have a set of NOS cases to start with. This started with a nice 10mm cylinder, and went from there. CAD has definitely taken over, lol.
hey brad, any chance you post a pic of the 10mm cylinder next to a 12mm cylinder, got a customer that dropped off what looks to be an earlier model 044, but i cant tell if it's 10 or 12mm, he most likely wont be fixing it and it may become mine, would be cool if it is a 10mm, but again, i need to see what the two look like side by side, thanks
if you look at the fins on top, most of the time the 10mm jugs are angled cooling fins and 12mm are strait across
I'm looking for an un-cracked recoil. I don't care about the finish. PM me if you've got a spare. Thanks.
