Rat Rods 4ever

[how57]

I have to credit the thread title to Mastermind.
Here's a saw I rat rod'ed out of spare parts. Stihl 460 with or 044 tank. The tank fits, but I can't put a air filter cover on because the tank doesn't center on the crankcase. Hence the maxflow. It has a 32" bar on her. Cutting machine. Please share any saws you've scrapped back together.

I'm working on a couple of Stihls that were brought back from the dead. My favorite sort of saws.

From these.

Many of my saws are Frankensaws... I have noticed that when replacing crankcase halves, Husqvarna cases match up way better than Stihl halves. The Stihl crankcases can vary a good bit on the exact same model.

I posted this a while back. Built out of boxes of junk. Runs good. It's a 272

@DSS has nice junk boxes.

Don't talk dirty unless you mean it

It was real ratty when I got it. Ex tree service saw. Now it's mostly Loktite and little piggy magic dust.

Should be able to run an 044/ms440 filter cover on that 460 with the 044 tank .

Not me. PSP rule # whatever. The only vids I have of my saw the guy that built it made.

Why were there no squealing sounds then?

Where does one find boxes full of junk 272 parts?

 

[cgraham1]

Does this count? I took this pile of parts...

And made this.... (the bottom one).

He was to busy hangin' on.

I think the cases came from you. Or at least the tank. Maybe both
