Rare Find?? Early 044W $350 on c/l

I don't believe the muffler cover is original. That's a 046 part. Unless I'm mistaken, the DP cover never came on an 044.

He said he put the cover on, geesh read the whole thread Brad

So, why have the OEMs stopped making light, powerful and reliable saws? Seems we can only get 2 out of 3 these days.

Nice saw, I spotted that on C/L in CA while combing the country for 044's, but held off contacting the guy as most dont seem to want to ship. (I have sweet talked a few into shipping thou) Glad you were able to get him to ship it!!

Looks like a really nice saw!! Sure has been some nice 044's coming up for sale lately.

If you dont mind me asking how much was the original purchase price on the receipt? I can make it out in the pic.

$607.45 was the original purchase.
He was only asking $330 but I sweetened the deal for the trouble of the boxing it up. Shipping came to $30. So with the new bar I'm at $450 all in. He shipped with the original bar but it was slightly bent so I ordered a new one. 25" ES.
Do they make the ES light in 25"? My cost at my local dealer was $60 so I went with the standard.

Looks like there is a O44 revival. I need to post a few pics myself
My philosophy is "a man can never have too many O44's!"

I believe they start at 28" but weigh close to the standard 20"
