beautiful version.

 

[SawTroll]

it will probleby never be a perfect hit, but for those who have lost the serial tag, crankshaft serial may be vital information. .....

Yes, as long as the crank hasn't been changed.

....

Here is another one, 340SG, serial 5031216, crankshaft 85 02

.....

Does that saw actually say 340 on the number tag? It sounds very unlikely that a 340 was made that late, so I suspect a "frankensaw"? The last 340 IPL was dated 1978-08, and the model was replaced by the 444 early 1980, as far as I know.

Special order or special market production is of course possible, but hardly likely.

....

I guess I will pull the jug to the 133 and 40 in a few weeks to see if this is close match to serial's lol

Big surprise there!

that is actually a good question, it may be a pure frankenstein saw hahaha.
It had a 240/340 top end, but that doesnt really mather.
All the black on the serial tag is gone.
It defently has to be a 40,340,344,44,444 serie saw due the oil pump, etc. It has different crankshaft compared to the older 44.....now you really got me to wonder what I really have lol

Big surprise there!

I wished you had never seen those small Huskies I was done with, now I have to pull thge jugs on them

 

[Tor R]

@SawTroll I think you have correct, it's not an 340, it has to be an 44,444 bottom part with an 240/340 top end.
I did study the Workshop manual today but it didnt show that coil was changed around 84, first when I study IPL's I saw that the coil I have fit perfect into that picture.

As far as I know, only the 44 and likely the 444 as well were current models in that family by early 1985. I'm not sure when they stopped making the 444, but the last IPL was dated 1984.

we learn as we live I guess. I am not so familiar with 44/444, never hunted after them. I got them because I wanted to steal their PTO bearing
Since this is an 44/444 it look like they may have two very different looking crankshaft.

The WS manual I have is dated 1987 - but that likely is the year it was scanned from paper format, and not the year it was written.

On the bench now is an Ms 460 getting a meteor p/c ported and my 661 Jug i got back from machining.

Interesting transfers on this one. The mains open on angle 3* before the secondaries which also open on angle. Im gonna play with this one a bit to figure out what I want.

You know you posted that in a Husqvarna thread @Redfin ?

we probleby have the same WS, and if it was made by Husky we should know they are not accuracy lol.
First today I sat down and look through those IPL's, another thing they changed on 44 is the oil hose in 84. Neither the oil hose or coil was changed on 444.
By study 44 and 444 IPL's there is no doubt that this bottom part is an 44 year 1985.

I just finished this 254xp for my brother.
Everything has been restored on it.
Did some porting on the cylinder, MM , and porting to the restrictions on the intake. New caber ring with Oem Piston.
I'm getting 172 psi not broke in yet. This should be a fun Saw.

Here's my favorite Husky warming up by the fire.




And here it is making short work of a downed tree.

How collectable is the 444SG

 

[Tor R]

How collectable is the 444SG

it's not super rare in Norway & Sweeden, but there isnt many nice ones left.
In US though I think they are super rare.
I have one myself that miss the iron chain brake handle.
