My local guy says he has several in his sea container. I am supposed to go look this weekend. I will let you know if I find one there. Thanks!!
can you tell us what happened to your 044 crankshaft? well, assuming u r not assembling saw from parts. many 044 guys here, no doubt would find it to be of interest. good you were able to find some 10 mm cranks. hope you find a serviceable one. most out there used or new... are 12 mm. I just acquired a new 12mm crank, etc. to put in my 044... down the road as my project saw continues.

When I got the saw it would not run. Previous owner had not ran it either. He aquired it and decided he had too many projects. When I tore into it found bottom rod bearing was shot.
can you describe the bearing's condition? missing balls? cage broken, or just rough? wonder why you want a used crank vs new bearing install on your crank?... and if u put in a new crank, since the $ are similar per here... 10mm usedm 12 mm new. with a 12mm u could do a BB down the road is it ever suited you...

Ok havent pulled crank yet. The bearing has about 1/4" of up and down play. It has enough that the piston had bumped the top of the cylinder. The reason I am looking at a used crank is the $$. Would rather have a used oem than new aftermatket b/c I don't know the quality of the aftermarkets. This saw will not see a lot of use. I just like fixing them.
WOW! imo, very interesting... especially considering most bearings just don't go 1/4" all at once. 1/64th... 1/32nd... etc... hard to believe a saw would run with that much bearing sloop, if not just for the seals alone! I chose an AM 12mm for my crank upgrade. I went with it as the company was a saw company doing repairs, sales in logging area... and offered a 90-day warranty and... one of the few companies on ebay aat 100%!! I bot it off their shopping site. i'll prob chuck it up in my lathe and run a dial on it just for grins...
thanks for the info and time to post it here...

Look like I found a crank. Thanks for all the replies
Wh
What size crank on this 10mm or 12? I'm interested
both should be the same, other than the small end of the con rod. well, that I what I researched and believe... ie, an early 10 mm 044 will take a later design OE or AM 12 mm direct replacement. at least that is what I am betting... given my BB kit uses a 12mm piston pin....
The early 10mm wrist pin cases are smaller in the mixing area and will be too tight to fit a 12mm wrist pin crank without a little work. I had to grind and sand down the crank throws and bottom of the connecting rod the first time I squeezed a 12mm wrist pin crank into a 10mm wrist pin case.
