That is a very early 50 crankcase you've got there. 1984. The sintered-plastic oil tank vent held in place by a star washer next to the oil cap gives it away. The original fuel tank would also have the same kind of vent into the space between the top of the tank and the crankcase. Both are prone to leaking.So the first number of the serial being a 3 isn't the year? Just curious because I'm looking at the Rancher 50 I just got and trying to decipher the serial tag.
The black "Rancher" snap-in inserts cover the holes where heating elements would be fitted on model 154SG which used the same tank. (They were later changed to plain orange.)Yes it has the white top and the black embossed handle that says "Rancher" It also came with a side cover for a 2100CD if anyone needs one. It's a jigsaw puzzle being completely disassembled by someone else. No bar or chain. I'll post pics of the new cylinder and piston. The original cylinder is a MahIe 44ZD10 + I could be wrong, but the new cylinder looks to be very poor quality.
The first two pics are of the 266 brake. I still have to clean it up more. It looks like one of the tabs at the top is bent but not sure. The rest of the pics are the Rancher 50. It has two extra tops from something else and the two 2100CD side plates as well.
You have a 36 year old saw that looks like it's been well and truly used. It shouldn't take too much effort or expense to just "make it go" so you can start it up and do a few cuts now and then, using many of the the parts you've got.Does the crack mean it's not fixable? The replacement cylinder looks like a very poor casting to me but I'm a newbie to chainsaws.
