Why no old Husqvarna saws.

[SawTroll]

Saw Troll, can you translate the sticker on the top cover of that saw?

More or less "dependable friend" - word by word it could be "safe friend", but it totally lacked safety features - so.......

If you look closely at the bar, you can see that bars with lighter material (than steel) "fillers" to make them lighter isn't such a new innovation!

Good question Double S - I just looked at Husqvarna on Acre's site, here's an A65, came out in '68. In my own opinion only, there's not a lot of pics of them cause they're goofy lookin!

Definitely stubby looking, needs a longer bar.

I know how it feels.

Here is a couple pic's of my Husky Model 90
The first production Husky made in 1959.

It looks "silky smooth"

Yes, but no AV......

...and heavy, compared to the comparable Jonsereds of the time!

That is cool, the top cover looks like it would go 20 pound all by itself.

Wow, that model 90 is a beast. You better be strong to run that all day.

Leeha, that's what an old saw oughta look like! Nice machine. The A65 just looked too "Jetsons" for me.

Rep sent for the pics!

I guess a few of those "leaked" into the US, but not many.

Very few made it over here but there are a few of them in collectors hands and then there the ones made by Crescent for Husqvarna.

Surely - 11.5 kg.

It sure was a beauty - but I guess I would rather have taken a Contra anyway, at the time.....

The Crescent, a vac Company buying rebadged chainsaws from an outboard company.

Hmmmmm - I am pretty sure Cresent was the outboard company?

The resulting chainsaw was more or less a joke anyway (Husky 70 etc).

That one is nice aussie, wonder how old it is now, The ad says 50 years of chainsaws.

Ric I think it's the same as Leeha's. Someone here should be able to confirm.

Looks the same as mine.
But not as nice.
Aussie, Yours is a sweety,
But i'm happy to have found mine.
And it didn't come from the USA.
I don't think many came over here.

Sure wouldn`t want to cut much wood with one, the vibes are crazy.
