Want to Sell 55 Rancher for sale with an 18" .058-3/8 bar

[Moosemcnally]

I have a 55 Rancher for sale with an 18" .058-3/8 bar. Comes with two full chisel chains. Both are sound and serviceable. The saw run starts and cuts awesome. It oils well and consistently.

I purchased a 562XP earlier this year and promised the wife I'd have this Rancher sold by the beginning of March and now I only have the 29-31 of February left to sell it (JK)!!!

This was my sons learning saw so it was very well taken care of while he was learning to care for a saw. He is off to college soon so we don't need it around. Truth be told we don't need any saws..our home has a pellet stove. CAD.

I am looking for 250.00 plus you pay shipping. Whatever I pay to ship...you pay.

His saw has the smiley faces on it so he knew which one was his. Our family owned 4 of them at one point.

Am I way off the mark with this saw?

250 should include shipping. Those are great saws i wish i had the dollars to buy it

 

[Shawn Curry]

That would be a nice saw except for those stickers. You might be able to get them off with a windshield scraper and rubbing alcohol.

shots of compression and serial number always help sell stuff. And whether its closed or open port 55. i think closed port cylinders had +++++ cast in cylinder on clutch side. Bump for a saw i wish i could buy

I was told that the easiest way to determine if it's a closed port is if it has a compression release.

Every 55 Rancher I have ever worked on had an open port cylinder and no compression release from the factory. They really do run pretty well, and are durable saws. Someone will be happy with it, and good luck on the sale.

 

[Moosemcnally]

No compression release. I am assuming it is open port.

Bump because I like the stickers, they add .5 HP

 

[MnSam]

Bump. But, I'll say nay to the stickers. Unless they are meant for kids (as in your case) smiley faces are gay. Even ask the lesbian couple in my town whose car is plastered with smiley face stickers. It just makes things weird sometimes.

- take them off -

55 series are great saws, I own 4 of them. One picture usually won't do it for me. Adding some more detailed pics would help with the sale.

Sam,

I have a bright orange Sticker on my Husqvarna 372XPW.

It says, ""I have a potty mouth" MS461"

 

[Moosemcnally]

Still available!

From another thread awhile back:

To verify if the cylinder is in deed an open port model, look under the compression button, there should be some marks on the cylinder. The closed port model had 6 plus signs stamped into the jug, the open port model has no special marks.

I was told that the easiest way to determine if it's a closed port is if it has a compression release.

I have worked on 2 or 3 open port 55's that were equipped with a decomp. The easiest way for me to tell is to pull the spark plug and rotate the saw to bottom dead center. All you need is a scrench and a flashlight.
