New 10mm 044AV

[ayoungtexan]

I wish I could find a 10mm 044

Peel off the badge protector plastic?

Negative

Sacrilege! Leave it sir!

Yep. lol. Just like Grandma and her couch cushions!

 

[Willard]

Weighed the 562 and 044.
The 044's 13lb 14 oz or 12.875 lb is close enough to the 12.8 lb spec sheet.
Quite surprised to see the 562 that much heavier.

Typo my fat finger hit the 3 instead of the 2, Lol.
Should be 12lb 14oz

You suck! Lol you should probably send it to me so you can finish your hot saws! If you take of the blue badge protector I am blocking you! Lol

Ah what does a Mac guy want to do with a 10mm 044 anyways? Hahahahaha
Yes I may promise not to peel off the plastic, it's tempting like squeezing a zit but I think it still will be there tomorrow Lol

A nice little break from the bikesaws though. Today I successfully ordered all the internals I need for my YZ125 from the local Yamaha dealer. All the 3 bearings, seals, pin, circlips, exhaust springs, gaskets.
They even found me a standard bore ring, all right here in Canada.
All my ebay stuff I ordered weeks ago is stuck in US customs. Last week I ordered stump grinder teeth from Bailey's in California, had them at my door in 4 days, go figure.

Ask in the TP.

I’ll have a new OEM rotating assembly for sale this fall (crank/piston/cylinder/pin and main bearings/powder coated used case).

That sir, is the MAC daddy of macks! That is a nice 056 also! WHOOP!

Yeah yeah, everything is good about this thread. You deserve a score like this Willard, how's the feeling when the guy says, 'I have this used once 044 in its original box.....' your heart starts going double time, you avoid fainting with this inner knowledge that no matter what this saw is coming home!

 

[Dub11]

Not sure of this was posted but what is the weight of a 440?

Very very nice you got 2 of the great classics right there.
Took years for many veteran PNW timberfallers to switch over from the 056 to the 066.
056 Mag II was the cream of the crop. And referring to your crazy beautiful Mac those timberfaller endusers hung up their chalk boots for good when those saws were discontinued.

Yep I had a little panic attack moment the next day when I called the owner I wanted to buy it. He said he'd leave a message on my voicemail later.
I was thinking *s-word he's got it advertised. But all it was he was waiting for his wife to go to work,Lol. She'll never know he got that pocket of cash.
I forgot how much starter rope kick back these early non decomp saws have. I can see why he hurt his wrist starting it. Lol.

 

[qurotro]

Talking about badge protecting sheet...
It was there since 1986.

 

[MG porting]

Would make nice Hybrid

No leave it alone.

 

[Willard]

The 044's rings are starting to seat in nicely. She rips!
With the 20" light bar very nimble and quick, has become my main saw now, hardly use the 066 anymore so dedicated it to a stump saw.
562XP is up for sale.... now that I see a 31 year old saw has kicked its ass.

 

[RI Chevy]

Nice! Stihl FTW...

 

[BangBang77]

I want a mint 044 so bad I can taste it.

That is a sweet saw Willard!

 

[CR888]

That 562 don't owe you much, I bet it processed a few trees. Before you pass it on you should hook it up to the computer at your dealer to see how many hours it ran, how many starts...you know all the stats.

 

[Sprinter]

I'll second this!
