Husqvarna 55 I can't kill it.

Bone stock 55. It just won't quit. My stump saw so to speak. Love it.

Yea , but that wont give you a good reason to buy a nu saw now would it?

Yep, very durable saws. What year is it? I have a 1985 model 50, still running strong. I did tear it down once and clean the carbon from the piston and cylinder, rebuilt the carb, new fuel line, new air filter, new clutch and rim sprocket and opened up the muffler.

Working on that 50 and finding this site was what started my CAD. It was my only saw for 30 years. Now I have 7 and don't even burn wood anymore.

There is a good reason why you need multiply tools to cut wood in to several small pieces.

Ahhh, I don't have a smart phone.... but I do have a chainsaw, makes plenty of sound.

I'm a stihl guy but that 50 should run.

It’s an all time great model.

 

[jakethesnake]

They are really good saws. I have one I also have a box of parts to build another. They’re easy to work on and dead reliable

 

[motor head]

I have 2 50s and 2 55 close ports,They don’t make em like that any more

If the 55s are like the 61s they are one tough saw. My uncles 61 has been used for a long time and just keeps going.

A friend of mine has a old 55 mid 80,s vintage , still a good firewood cutter !

Put some straight gas in it, that'll kill it!

they were neat saws. Super simple design. But famous for air leaks around the intake boot. Why did Husky build such a good crankcase and top end and then use a goofy intake setup for so many years?

They probably didn’t fail for a few years as new rubber seals pretty well.
