I found a military version of the Husqvarna F70 : in pretty good shape except for a broken cylinder stud for the muffler bolt.

Hey guys, got a question.
Roy from across the pond and I have been emailing back and forth about what we thought was a 65. However it has two piston rings and the muffler mount and opening are different. What gives here? The 77 has two rings but the muffler port looks the same in the IPL as a 65. Also his flywheel has three dawgs on it.
Does anyone know what he has for sure?

Here are my saws about a week ago.
All are listed in my signature. The two missing ain't AWOL, they're MIA!!!
I dig all the matching Carlton bars!

Here is a more top view and a pic of something odd on the flywheel side of the cylinder.

Here is another pic. The fuel line comes out of some sort of plastic thing. This is not at all like my 65. What gives? :msp_unsure:
I am sure one of you guys will ID this thing. Cylinder also is marked MAHLE 48ZD3.

That Mahle casting number is for the 65.
The 65 was made for a lot of years, so the differences you are seeing could just be early vs. late models.

Most everything on it screams 65 so I mostly agree but the muffler thing seems too wierd because all the time I spent looking for parts for mine I never saw one like Roy's.
SawTroll would know, but I think some of those 65's were Yugo built saws.
There may have been differences between the factory practices.

Hi, Newbie here...
Great to see some pics of a Husky F70, I have had one for 20 years, it is in use every year, sure it vibrates, so what!... i think it's good for my arthritus
. I'm finding it a bit heavy these days, the 70cc motor and all metal construction makes it difficult to heft above shoulder hieght or up ladders. But it is by far the best and most reliable saw I've ever owned (i'll admit to having had 40+).
Does anyone know if spares are available for the F70?... i was wondering if a newer (roller) bar was available...from a different model? also over the years various parts have failed, some of which I have had to have made (i.e. the cup the starter dogs engage in)... info frmo anyone with any experience in this model would be much appreciated.
Thanks....Steve
Gypo may have the fastest, I have the husky that vibrates the most....
this is a F70 Husky, 70cc, and a runner of course. No AV at all on this one...and it really shows...

Yes, TOMOS Yugoslavia since about 1974, or a bit earlier.
Glad to see you back around Brian!
Wondered where you went to.
