My old 044 that I bought in the early 80's. That thing never let me down and it would still be here with me if she had not gotten burned alive when my shop burned down last Dec. What a saw she was, never did anything to her but change bars and chains and a pull cord or two. Never ate anything...

Well I haven't been around much lately i've been getting ready to pour concrete and getting the building site ready. I did finally get the guy to stop by with his excavator and take out those trees that needed to be taken out. he took out two pines and 6 oak trees. I cut that big pine up in...

Amen brother, I paid right at $1100.00 for this saw which wasn't too bad I guess. When I bought the 051 I think I paid $750.00 for it and I remember as I was going out the door with it thinking, what the heck were you thinking, you could have bought a pickup truck for that.o_O But as soon as I...

I wouldn't think a used 044 would go for much over $350 to $400 range depending on condition.

I looked around but didn't see much I did however see a 044 a couple counties over and I might just ride over thereand have a look see. I never was to good at searching on facebook as I try to stay away from there as much as possible. This guy says he's the best chain saw mechanic in the...

You are probably right. I haven't had the time to mess with it but I will soon. I have a huge pine tree behind the shop that I want gone to give me more room to get around in the back yard. I think the fire may have got to it anyway. I would just cut it down but then I would have that big stump...

Thanks I'll take a look.

Yes I plan to do just that.....

Yeah, I get what you mean. I went to get a Ms 440 which I had heard was the o44's replacement but there were none around. I'm not cutting as much as I did in the past because I really cut back on my firewood business but I didn't want to give up the power and longevity that I got out of my old...

"If by alot of them running you mean they get started and ran out of pity, then yeah I'd agree. " Huh.....I really don't understand that one. I never ran my 044 out of pity. I ran it to get the job done. If I could get that saw back I would run it another 30 years. I had an 051 before I got that...

You know I never had any problem with the air filter on my old 044. I ran the same filter the whole time I had it. I used and changed the prefilter though. That saw ran like a champ and had plenty of power. I never ran a 25" bar though because I just never saw the need and cut a lot of big wood...

I'm in the Richmond area.

The guy told me that they were not making the 440 anymore. That's what I went out looking for but no one had one.

My shop burned down taking along with it pretty much everything I oaned. I lost 5 Stihl saws and yesterday I went out to find a replacement for my 044. I mainly cut firewood and a lot of it. I had that 044 for almost 30 years and it was as good as it was the day I bought it. The only thing I...

Don't happen often but it can happen. The filter get clogged and it's supposed bypass oil but if that bypass valve in the head stops working for some reason the return oil has to go somewhere. Usually the filter will split open if the o-ring between the filter and the head doesn't blow out. By...

Oh and be sure to check your oil filter if there is one. Sometimes a stopped up filter or a bad check valve in the head can cause the valve to possibly go bad.

I just did a quick search of log splitter valves and came up with this one from surplus center. It should work and there were a couple on there that were a little cheaper than this one. Just make sure you get the right one for your splitter......open or closed center which ever your system is...

Maybe.......... I have a couple of the farm saws but neither of them are working now for one reason or another. I just haven't had time to mess with them.

Actually I was just wondering what it might be worth but at the same time I don't ever plan on using it. I bought it from a old guy that got it new. He didn't use it much before he went blind and couldn't get in the woods anymore. When he passed away one of his sons was cleaning out one of his...

here is a couple pics of the saw.
