Partner Chainsaw Thread

[powerstroke73]

There’s new ones but there expensive and expensive shipping I can’t find any new ones anywhere else. Mine were either missing or the felt was gone. The new ones are nylon.

Thanks, ill keep an eye out.

Is it like this one? Probably not if it's P/P.

I also stumbled across a 1982 Partner master parts list, its in the mail. Apparently it is 20 pages with every part number, picture, description and (at the time ) Price.

What are they?
All I read on the t-port 55 I have is this. Features built in decompression system located at exhaust port. Named "T Port" system.

I been parting it out since I dont mess with these anymore.

I really like the look of those saws. I hope to get my hands on one sooner or later.

Advantages of the T-port, take 2.

In fact, the bulletin was about the P100 but it applies to all models with T-port. (sorry about the quality)

And here's I/53 - the bolt length code (though by now all the numbers have probably changed).

I also found this original 400 brochure in the back of a folder.

Where’s the compression release near the muffler and pics which saws?

Yeah. My phone camera's not great in low light. I'll try adjusting the image first but if that's still no good, I'll get a shot outside on the weekend.

There's no button. It's effectively a low-speed exhaust port leak.

Thank you that would be great

Thanks I understand now, some other engine had a hole in the lower cylinder I can’t remember.

The "last" parts I needed from chainsawr to finish up the repairs on one of my 5000s arrived. New muffler bolts the proper bolt and sleeve for the anti-vibe mount and while not a repair, the proper felling spike as well.

It allowed me to install the new muffler. I could tell the other one was cracked from the side, but was cracked ever an understatement.

No wonder it was loud. Should be able to cut some real wood at the old man's place this long holiday weekend and see how she does. Probably blow up

Here's a few before and after shots of the progress thus far.

Very nice saw you've got there.

My wife is a photographer and does wedding photography during the summer months. Today she was working a wedding a few hours away in farm country.

When she got home she had a saw case in hand with this nice looking 500 inside. She got it for almost nothing. Apparently it runs. Lots of spark and compression so I'm inclined to believe it. I'm going to throw a junk bar and chain on it tomorrow and see how it works.

I have one like that it’s a twin to my 400.

Sounds like the wife’s a keeper. You guys are so lucky. My new neighbor does stock car dirt track racing his wife hands him the tools And works on the car.

 

[Huskvarna hotellgäst]

That's amazing. I used to dabble in
photography and the best thing I ever took home after a wedding was a car trailer, borrowed from the bride's father!

Looks clean. Intriguing that the tag says "Norlett & Partner". Was the Norlett brand used in Canada or US?

Fraternal twin? Maybe.
Definately not identical

On the recoil housing it says pioneer partner?

Pretty close in size. When my son comes over he will take them out I’ll take pics.

It's a June 87 production date. By then the PP branding had begun.

The 400 & 500 are close in size but not in design. They do have the same crank, clutch, drum & flywheel but that's where the similarity ends.
