New Craftsman 46cc chainsaw

[GeorgiaVol]

I got the one of the new Craftsman saws at an auction Friday for $10. It was being sold for parts because the clutch cover was off of it.
Turns out the side bar adjustment gear was stripped. So I went to my parts shed to see what I had to match it and oddly enough a Homelite clutch cover used the exact same design. Swapped it out and fired it right up.

Only difference in the design was the tab that actually moves the bar had to be flipped over.
Just thought it was odd that the new Craftsman was using an older Homelite bar adjuster.
Also, I believe this saw has a mag case on it, which is a step up from the plastic ones I was used to.

I believe it is an aluminum case. I saw some photos on one of the forums where a guy tore one down. It was 42cc. It looked pretty good for a cheap homeowner saw. Even had an adjustable oiler.

Makes sense. It was silver in color.
Mine is the 46cc version with a 20" bar. Too big for it imo, but that is what came on it.

I was impressed with the pictures of the one the guy tore down. He got it on clearance for $99. His is the troybilt. I was surprised it had a removable cylinder, metal crankcase and adjustable oiler. Troybilt makes it in another brand besides the craftsman but I can't remember what it is.

Yep - it looks a bit like my 4214. That thing always fires right up, summer/winter doesn't matter.

On Craftsman saws lifetime warranty applies. Therefore, I was even surprised that you thought that the saw did not work. It is repaired by the manufacturer even if you do not have a receipt. Read here https://sawcentre.org/who-makes-craftsman-chainsaws/
