    Husqvarna 50 Rancher white top serial number question

    I recently acquired a Husqvarna 50 Rancher white top. She seems to be in really good shape for its age. My question is what year would this have been manufactured? I'm adding a few pics like a proud new papa lol. Thanks for answering in advance.

    Stihl MS170 woes

    I think I figured it out. This whole time I have tried it without the orange top cover. I put the top on and she fired up! Is this common to these saws?

    Stihl MS170 woes

    I get the same result no matter what I do unless I completely remove the box and bolt the carb up without it. She runs like a champ then. I'm at a loss here.

    Stihl MS170 woes

    It's not the air filter. I have removed it and I get the same results. I'm really stumped on this one.

    Stihl MS170 woes

    I aquired this little 170 for a song not long ago. The issue is that the saw will not run with the air filter box installed. Remove the box and she runs like a champ. Seems to be choking out the saw when installed. I had another used carb that I tried to no avail. Same with the new carb...

    Well, I thought I might sell my Shindaiwa 575 Professional. I've just got too many saws and don't seem to have enough time for them all.

    Hey guys. I have never posted anything for sale on here before. Is it appropriate to do so here or a big no no?

    Good evening everyone. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Been awhile since I've been on here. Lotsa personal stuff I've been going through but all is well. Been reading up on some chainsaw talk and thoroughly enjoying it!

    It could be the pickup coil in the distributor also. I believe that involves yanking the distributor out tho and disassembly of the distributor if memory serves me right.

    I am a auto/heavy equipment mechanic so for me a small engine like a chainsaw is a welcome change to turning wrenches on the big stuff. I like the simplicity and convenience of tinkering with an old chainsaw. Making something broken run again is another satisfaction of working on these saws as...

    3 to 4 inches here and not slowing down yet. Ugh!! Not liking this!

    Think they are calling for up to 10 inches here. Not looking forward to it. I've become anti-snow and cold the older I get lol.

    Yes I was. I use that time for not only cutting wood but a time for God and I to conversate. My family has stated I can no longer go it alone anymore as I must have laid in the woods for 45 minutes to an hour before I had called anyone. I don't remember driving my truck back to my parents house...

    I am so very thankful because I know it could have been so much worse. I think I see a hard helmet in my future lol.

    I appreciate the offer Steve but my sister and brother in law brought down a couple Rick to me earlier this evening.

    So this morning I was out cutting down some dead trees in the woods and cutting it up for firewood. But what happened next I honestly can't remember cause I woke up in the hospital with 11 staples in my head and a horrible headache. Apparently part of the treetop had broke and came back down on...
