Looks like a mid-late 90's 044 with an 046 tank, filter base, intake flange, and air filter cover. Nice job Lakeside!

Looks like a 440 with an 088 side cover and dawgs. Look at the chain catcher and chip deflector, I've only seen that on an 088, although the 066 has the holes for it.

YEAH!! I was screaming that since the first page, suprised nobody else got that. Evidence: 046 filter cover is half an inch wider than an 044, as is the filter base and tank, you cannot interchange any of these pieces without the rest of them going as well. 046 has rounded off corners on the top of the air cleaner cover as well as the top cover, thus the slanted corners on the top cover point directly to 044/440, with the nod to 440 coming from the decomp. (nevermind all of the subtle hints around the rest of the case pointing to 044 instead of 046)

Man, you say you're from california, but you've obviously never been around real west coast loggers. Full wrap 044s, 046s, & 066s come with their own extended clutch covers, dual dogs, and chain catchers like you've observed on the 088. The 088 has a much larger clutch cover than the 3 smaller ones do (which are interchangable) and different shaped dogs than the smaller saws come with, but more or less similar.

Just because he's from california doesn't mean he has to know everything about big time logging, saws, stihl, or anything else for that matter. Unless I missed something here that was a useless bash post intended to make you seem smarter than him. IDK just rubbed me the wrong way and felt like saying so.

My guess is it started life as an 064. it now wears a 660 top end and filter.
the wrap handle is window dressing, the decomp and the magnum label, and the non-DP muffler are there to throw us off.

anyhow, its a guess.

[Jacob J.]

with the nod to 440 coming from the decomp.

There's no decomp button sticking up through that hole......

I'm guessing he used a newer shroud since the saw was run over. I know RBtree had a couple 044s........

There's nothing related to an 064/660 on the saw in the pictures.

Sorry I had to go... I was acused (rightfully so) of being anti-social... Damn dinner guests... I thought the game would play out in a few moves... and had the time, but...


Well done Jacob J. and Teksim... You solved the puzzle without random guesses. I rep you all if I have bullets.

044 crank case, 440 cylinder/piston, with an 046 rear end (tank, filter base, air-filter box). And yes, 3/4/full wrap, big side cover etc to make it a real magnum wrap.

I'll fill you all in on "why" etc in the morning...

This is what I miss when I'm out fishing all day. I thought it looked a little unbalanced front to back.

I got Jacob for you, but was out of bullets for Tim.
