Husqvarna 2100 thread

Excuse my ignorance, but what are they normally made from?

EDIT I didn’t realize I wasn’t on the last page. Was the 2100 produced over the time that mag/aluminum alloys started to be used, or has magnesium been used in crankcases for most of chainsaw history?

Magnesium. Tho I had heard that for a time husqvarna supplied replacement Aluminum PTO sides to certain PNW dealers due to guys breaking the magnesium ones from running the large bars that were common up there at the time.

Weren't most all chainsaws made from Magnesium, even from the first ones?

Yeah I’m pretty sure even today it’s still all magnesium right? With the exception of maybe clutch covers on some saws?
