the official arborist site work saw build off

[blsnelling]

No 440 ehh? I thought I might have an excuse to buy another new MS440, lol

 

[blsnelling]

So why not open this up to include 044/440s with 460 P&Cs? That would allow those that have a 440 but not a 460 to participate.

stock bore size.
oem or aftermarket doesnt matter.
just needs to be 76.5cc.
must use true to the 046 /ms460 carb.
must have functional choke and oem style filter.
factory exhuast opening can be enlarged but no more than 1 additional opening (no greater than 1 in )
chainbrake must work
prescence lever must work
saw must pass forestry inpection.(screen must be in exhaust)
you will be subject at my discretion to having muffler pulled for bore size inspection. you cheat your out forever

I'll have to find a muffler shell, the place the screen slides in is long gone. :hmm3grin2orange:

Do they bolt up directly, or do you have to mod quite a bit.

you cant buy them off the shelf as a hybrid. there is no definitve proof either way that they run better or worse than the straight up 460. they are not a common work saw. the 460 p/c is not true to a 440 ,the 440 case is not true to the 460. level ground would mean we all build the same thing. brad just take your already done p/c on a 460 bottom and your done.

 

[Blowncrewcab]

I'm sure someone may loan Brad a saw to put his top end on if he doesn't have one...

 

[Chris J.]

well thats stihl paint , it may not run with it on there lol

Well, if the Stihl chain didn't hurt it, maybe the Stihl paint won't either.

But the two of them together...............:msp_scared:.

 

[tlandrum]

youll go out in the morning and the saw will have turned creamsicle

Oh Booo.....

No worries on my end though. I have a decent 046 crankcase with new bearings seals and what-nots sittin on the bench as we speak. Just gotta find a nice OEM cylinder. I do have a brand new Meteor P&C i could slap on it, but i think id be shooting myself in the foot. Lets just say it's not up to OEM quality.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Terry.

Just need to find me a good MS460 cylinder. My best one has a slight score above the corner of the exhaust port, nothing big, but gives up about 5 psi compression. The next best one is a old used 046 D port chamber cylinder, hard to machine a dome for that.

 

[MacLaren]

Fyi

The new old stock 066 on ebay went for $1,525.00 Wow! Just thought y'all might wanna know.....

The D shaped chambers make some real good runners, but agreed, they are hard to machine for.

that d shape combustion chamber is not hard to machine the pop up on if you know the trick to it. i can do it as fast as the regular centered cylinder. on the lathe

A lot of tricks and tips from you go into my work Terry. I sure appreciate the help too. I really like doing things myself and having guys like you willing to help makes it lots of fun!!!
