Hello @54stude I will take the 920 jonsered. Thanks man!

There is definitely some cool stuff in that lot. If I didn't have two non runners on the bench and a whole lot of other commitments I'd be all over those.

Anyone on here have a 12mm 044/440 crankcase laying around?

Haha no. Been wanting to build up an 044 I've had for some time now. Got a parts saw but it's a 10mm crankcase. I need a 12mm. I have everything else to build it. Oem piston and cylinder. Oem crank. Actually have cranks for both 10 and 12mm. But the piston is a 12mm wrist pin. The search continues.

10mm saws make more power, wouldn't it be easier to find a different piston?

Nice Echo 452VL...man I'd be interested in that but it would have to be shipped all the way to Ga. I'm a little far for this GTG, lol.

*Supposedly* 10mm saws have a smaller crankcase volume which means higher velocity of air/fuel mix making more power.

Post over in chainsaw and I guarantee folks wont be shy about offering opinions. Also advance the timing when you are putting it back together, I hear those 044's like that.

I hear ya. I'm still on the hunt. I'll see what I come across. I think you are correct though. Smaller crankcase and stuff. I need to look at what I have and see where I should invest my money. I plan to hop it up a bit while building er up.

Either way a 044 is a darn nice saw to have. They pull like an SOB especially with square file.

Heck ya. I had one. Rebuilt it but sold it. I should have kept it. It was a 10mm ta boot! Dang.

Mortalitool, the place where the charity cut is happening is a Stihl dealer. I would guess he has 044 stuff as that's what his personal saw is.

 

[flyboy553]

Not to mention, he has an air operated saw start we he uses to start the big saws. It's a must see!

That would be interesting to see...and get pics of.

ATTENTION: CHARITY WOOD CUTTING EVENT CANCELLED.

The owners are giving up the Stihl dealership due to the new distributors outrageous demands.

Thanks to everyone who had planned on coming. I am disappointed.

Doesn't he still need the wood?

No, the shop will be closing. And they are going to heat with l.p. once they close, and get back from a trip they haven't ever been able to take
