What is that junker anyway?
044/440 filter cover and who knows what is under that plastic
This is funny. I'm currently building a Frankinsaw that will look damn close to this once built.
Just built a,mostly OEM 460 with a meteor top end. Don't have a tank through it yet, 28" Oregon .063 bar. It's the 3rd one I've built from spare parts. Seems strong in the cut.
I built and rebuilt piles of those for tree services years ago. If it needed to be split they got sold as parts cases. The rest got used till you can't anymore. Hyway jugs last almost a year before the usual "it eats a piston ran straight out of the box with better rings, oem pin and clips." Cleaned up they lasted long enough most times until the bottom end let go. Meteor was down on power with poor transfer ports. We stopped using them. One saw ate three tops up before it pitched the rod. They take a beating at work. Meteor might last longer because they had the hardest plating, worst transfer exit and intake ports.
Something isn't right about that filter housing. It sits too far up and back. It must have a custom filter or that isn't a 440 under it.
The airfilter is one of the aftermarket variety, many kinds made out there,

440 most likely with a filter kit
That tinman filter cover fits much better. You should go look again. Look at the lines around the filter. This "pawn shop" find isn't like that on the lower portion of the tank handle.
That is evident Ken but it makes no difference.
I've never seen a cover like that on a 440.
He might reveal more by tomorrow
Maybe, I doubt he bought it.
Thank you i always looking forward to seeing you here as far as wet behind the ears, do they ever dry?
For thosd that dont know its not a 500 460 or 462 not even a hybrid.
Its a 440 with maxflow filter and god awfull ugly filter cover.
Heres my 46/44 thing with a 46 airfilter cover. You can fit the stihl filters and max flow under it.
They sell the stihl max flow kits at gas stations around here so everyone runs them.
I dont cut enough to be able to tell if the max flow filter does any better than stock.
All i know is the max flow cover is not pretty.
Modified 46 looks alittle better not many even catch it being out of place.
Thank you guys this actually turned into a informative thread.
All missspelling included.
Pioneer guy is correct i didnt buy it or ask about it. Theyve only had it for a week. If still there in a few months i might try to get it for a couple hundred bucks.
To the 500 cult worth every penny
Makes me wonder if the pawnshop got taken or if they are being deceitful on purpose.
Always good to see you post on here, Evan. Keep up the good stuff, how`s the muffler mods coming along. I remember well the days when we/I was urging you to be careful when dropping those big fir up in the mountains, you lived and that`s all important.
Dude you win the ugly filter cover award!
Sold a 460 once had that issue. It was ugly but you win.
