What Is Your Opinion?

I got this 10mm 044 from a good friend a month or so ago. I had plans to install a 12mm crank, and turn it into a 044/046 hybrid. After looking it over, I'm not sure I want to alter it. Under that layer of dust, there is a true survivor. Thoughts?

Save it and find 12mm saw with a roached top end for the hybrid build. Just my $.02

Wash it up good with soap and water, and then see if you feel like chopping it up.

let the survivor be.

I have a 12mm 044 with an ugly fuel tank that is a hybrid already. So leaving this one stock ain't a big decision.

That's a nice saw resting on a gorgeous table top. As Lennon and McCartney sang, "Let it be, let it be, let it be... "

Factory R model too. You can tell by the blue upper av mount, and the flap on the clutch cover.

Let it alone! A score like that should be left alone to live out its life the way God created her. Either that or send it to me for a loving home....

Man she's a beauty. I love me some metal tag 044's. Wish I never sold mine years ago.

I never have seen an R model in a 10mm

I'd put her on the shelf next to my 046 that not broke in yet. Use my roaches for working/playing

Looks like the 044 i’ve got from a close friend who is getting too advanced in years to start her anymore. I’d leave her be!

Clean it up, go through it, and let it remain a survivor. They are only original once. That saw is in awesome shape!

Can't say I won't port it....but I'm probably not going to create a hybrid from it.

Leave it be.

I'd leave that gem as it is! Keep it factory other than porting.

That's a keeper for sure.

Every so often you can find a cherry .As such unless something is wrong with it leave it stock .However don't let it vegitate on the shelf ,give it a run now and again . I do have a couple of cherry's . They come along when you least expect it .
