Would a 440 jug n piston fit these older 044’s?

I dont believe any of the ms 440 chainsaws had a 10mm wrist pin no saying ite impossible as you may be able to find the correct wrist pin bearing to do so. I'm curious as to what the advantage you would gain in doing so?? I may be wrong but i was under the impression the SLANT fin 10mm was the sought after saw

I believe so, but it has to be a 12mm wrist pin on the crank
The 440 would have a decomp, so either plug it up or drill a hole in the top cover
Or find a top cover with the decomp!

I'm pretty positive the bolt pattern and covers fit. Just not sure how youd tackle the bearing situation without some heavy machining or a replacement bearing. Cause I feel like I've heard if people running the 10mm jugs with a 12mm crank and piston I also feel like maybe the porting could catch the flywheel ring In certain scenarios or running the 12mm jug on a 10mm saw maybe it was but point is the jugs I do believe swap it's the piston wrist pin bearing could getcha

Right.
Its not a direct bolt on unless the 044 is a 12mm.
Since yours is a 10mm, would not work unless you swapped the crank out.

The SN of this saw says it’s a 12mm.
@Adirondackstihl knows the exact break in the SN when they switched from 10mm to 12mm.
Iirc it’s around 128xxxx or 129xxxx

Yep. Early 12mm were slant fins too, right?

Ok thank yall for clearing that up. The reason I was asking is I have a new ported 440 jug and piston that I was going to put away, but this saw is so clean its very tempting.

Wellllll *s-wordt….

Why?
12mm 044/440 are the same as your jug

Yes sir and they typically had the mahle slant fin jug instead of the KS or gilardoni

Yes my 044 Arctic is an early 12 mm with slant fins

Serial #12938283 was the switch from 10-12 mm

Thank you. I knew the number was around there.

LOL It makes it that much more tempting now that I know it will fit my jug n piston.

Fuggit. They make more money every day. Git ‘er dun, son

This saw is also posted on AS, the OP posted that he pulled the jug and measured the wrist pin to verify it was a 10mm saw. Maybe the OP can clear this up.

 

[Vancouver timber]

Weird boys I popped the jug off and measured the piston wrist pin and it was a 10mm unless my calipers hung up on something the numbers dont jive luckily I still haven't tossed all the covers and shir back on it so I'll double check this now.. even the previous owner said it's a 10mm too

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Possibly rebuilt with a 10mm crank or it’s had the clutch side case half replaced.

Do you have any pictures of the FW side case area above the oil fill cap?
