Husqvarna 42 - Pups old 42

[shanman355]

Hey there. My grandfather passed away I I got what I asked for his old 42. It’s not much but special. We worked on the Xmas trees snigging for him behind the old 42 and he made us work. It ran but not good so I tore it down. I think I need a cylinder and piston but I can’t find one . I’d rather have stock than cheap aftermarket unless there is a great quality company that is making parts reliable for work. Local dealer came up with nothing for me. I got some pictures. I hope someone can help. It means a lot to me the old saw. Thanks because the ole girl means a lot to me

Can you get a better pic of the exhaust side of inside the cylinder...
Looks to me like that would clean up ok & then drop a meteor piston in it (assuming they're available)

I have a 42 that is not in use after the tank-handle leaked, ignited, and melted. The saw didn't feel or respond like it had any issues. I bought it used and put at least 30 tanks through it brushing and bucking rounds.

I'd sell it to you, but shipping might be a bear. Top end should be good.

I’ll try. My uncle always done his 254s himself so he’s gonna look at it later. Thank you

Where are you? If it’s good I’m ok with shipping if it’s not outa this world
