Anyone have any idea why this saw seized???

[rms61moparman]

I think this might have something to do with it.

I sold this saw to a friends brother.
It was a great running 55 Husky with a closed port cylinder:msp_mad:

Andyshine77 and I ran it when we delivered it and it was awesome.
I'm not gonna fix this one on my dime!

some people just shouldn't run a saw...

 

[homelitejim]

looks like he as using it as a ditch witch.

some people just shouldn't run a saw...

And some shouldn't run a billy goat!!!

What a waste of a nice 55 closed port!

Very likely, imo!

Sorry that you have to fix what someone destroyed that is a shame.My freind you take some great pic's.

 

[RBurtcher]

I wonder if the guy realizes files are only 2 bucks or less and that 5-10 minutes per tank could have avoided this. What a shame.

Looking at the teeth, seems he was going for some big-box-store maul-head look. Mebbe didn't know that you cut the wood first, then split it later. Live & learn (for most folks.)

Likely leaning hard into the saw trying to get it to cut, ripping av mounts, impulse lines and intake boots, that is why it seized, so yes,
that is likely what caused it.

 

[Andyshine77]

You know when I saw him run the saw I was a little concerned about how long it would last, that and the snapped crank on his last saw.:help:

 

[Guido Salvage]

Is that some of the elusive "hammer" chain?

 

[PJF1313]

Your pic's -

I don't think that'll cut MOLTEN butter, nor anything else.....

IDEA - take the saw back, and give him(??) a skirt! and a cheap HD bow saw and a blunt ax....
after he graduates some manual labor, a sears $99 special, then go from there



Sorry for YOUR loss

and give him(??) a skirt! and a cheap HD bow saw and a blunt ax....

What are they re-making Braveheart?

 

[o8f150]

you have to sharpen the chain??

 

[Ronaldo]

All I can say is .......Wow.........

Ron:bang:

 

[Dan_IN_MN]

Pull the muffler and give a pic of the piston.....

He probably was cutting out stumps!

I like Fishes theory.

If there is a 'next' saw....sounds like this guy needs some instruction time! And a saw without AV!

 

[Mastermind]

I see that sort of stuff way too often.

 

[Patrick62]

take another look at the tie straps

ditch witch is about right.

I feel your pain. I think I would not have even touched the saw after hearing about it.
Walk away from it.

I will give him a price to fix it.
It will be his call how we proceed from there.
The saw is too good to throw in the trash.
If he doesn't want to fix it, I guess it will be the next one sitting here in my way.
