Most dependable Saw you've ever owned?

The ones I repaired and modified myself.

My Makita 7901 never had a problem.

044 #1, I've had it since new 12/27/92, and for 18 years it was my only saw. It is my only unported saw, but since joining the chainsaw websites, it has a few tweaks.

My Stihl O28. I purchased this saw new back in 1985. It had been under water, and cut 100's of cords of wood. I went through many bars, chains and clutch rims.It never gave me any mechanical problems.When I left Texas, I donated it to the city of "Coleman Fire Department" It was in perfect working order.

x2 for 028. Bought new in 84 and never fixed anything on it in the next 27 years. Not even a sparkplug. Then just fuel lines etc. Still use it regularly. Was only saw until I got the disease.

I just get a new one when it gets too scratched or dirty

One that stands out is a blue xl12 my neighbor gave me he bought it new in the 60s or early 70s never missed a beat after fuel line and carb kit still running but really I've never had a unreliable saw just normal maintenance is all I've ever had to do .

660, i have one that i bought new in 2006. It has been used for everything, been thrown to the side several times but keeps coming back out. Never opened it up just replaced a chain adjuster or 2. I have a few 660 but that one always stands out.

1992 036 Replaced fuel hose and filter only because of age. Also upgraded to the larger drum and bearing, although the original was still ok. Never did anything else to it besides a few rims. Even the zama carb never been off the saw.

My husky 50 special that I bought in 1989. Just died on me after 26 years. Almost feels like losing a member of the family.

Well heck you can make it just like new again.

Well heck you can make it just like new again.

That is what I hope to do! I've never rebuilt a saw but it would be a fun project. I am searching now for a replacement piston/cylinder. Plan on rebuilding carb, replacing intake boot, impulse boot, fuel line, oiler and maybe crank seals. Will probably do a minor muffler mod as well.

Any idea where I can get good quality but not overly expensive 55 head? Close ported might be nice since after going through the whole rebuild it would nice to have the max power possible.

EDIT: Ok, nevermind. I just found out a new Husqvarna 55 head kit is $107 so I will probably just go with that. Sorry to be off-topic.
