A little free saw I got..

[AuerX]

I got a Husqvarna 36 for free, In pretty rough shape.

It has spark and compression.

Its dirty and has melted plastic parts, The fuel lines are broken.

But its all there, and I'm thinking it might be worth to get going as parts are plentiful and cheap

What do you guys think?

TIA

Free is good.

Wildthing-ish in orange?

Looks like a fun little project, enjoy.

You should be able to get that going for a minimal investment. It always helps when the initial outlay is nothing.

Good luck, keep us updated.

Same sheep...diff wool. And free will always cost ya a little, But a good lil knock around saw nonetheless.

I have rebuilt lesser quality saws that I got for free. Build it and if you don't have use for it I'm sure you have a buddy that does.

I had a 36 that I loved, best little firewood saw that I have owned. Muffler was loose and fried the plastic on that one. Good score and a you suck.

I have to ask, where in PA you find free orange saws?

Where would be the best place to get the fuel lines and filter from?

Husky 36's are decent lightweight homeowner saws. Run a non safety chain and that little bugger will surprise you.

tygon with factory filter the saw was used once and left sitting the old gas was hard on the fuel line and filter.

Great little saw.
Use it for what it was meant to be used for.
Sharp chain, keep her clean and she will last a long time.

Good for you and you SUCK!

i just fixed a 36 up that i got for free as well. i just used some briggs and stratton fuel line and filter to match. just get it at your local small engine dealer.

 

[lefturnfreek]

Yup, you suck....

Clean the carb if the fuel left in the saw ruined the lines

Where would be the best place to get the fuel lines and filter from?

Your local Sears service center believe it or not. Two sizes of line come in plastic bags enuff for two saws. Save the leftovers for the next one.

Thanks All!

I see a lot of parts from the 136 can be used on the 36, Are there other saws (Poulan, Craftsman etc) that use inter-changeable parts with the 36 as well?
