What old model husky is this.

Kinda what I was thinking. And I believe he painted it when he first got it. I do see it was painted at one point. It still has the OE Mahle cylinder

Got it going today. I was going to keep the paint like it was but after I had to strip the paint out of the fuel tank I couldn't keep it from taking the rest of the paint off. I kept the over spray on the cylinder when he repainted It in the 80's. I Replaced a list of worn parts. And thanks to iwhalpes for the muffler.

Very cool saw. Lucky sappy bastards, all of ya

Wow! Came out real nice,and yes the muffler tops it off.

Beautiful! Keep the bow on it. It really completes the saw in my opinion. Very cool project. I am certain your dad will be stoked!

They cleaned up really well, and I would leave them with the battle scars. There is a level of sentimentality, and nostalgia with each and every one. Ask your dad about some of them, as I'm pretty sure he has a story or two to tell.

My dad died in February 2014, and the few momentos of his that I have, I leave as is. When I handle them, I take comfort in the knowledge that I am touching where he touched. Sappy, I know, but we were that close.

Just lost my dad two months ago... I totally get it. Not sappy.

Sorry to hear that. I feel bad for the people that doesn't see or talk to their dads. I work with mine so I talk to him every day.
I have a question for those guys that have these old saws. The specs say max rpm 8000. That seems really fat. And I'm running 40:1 mix. As soon as my air filter comes in I'm putting it in some wood so I want to have a idea on what I'm tuning at. At first it was running 9200 and that had a good four stroke.

My condolences to you.

Awesome rebuild on this saw!! Outstanding job my friend!

 

[X 66 stang347 X]

Thanks. And the parts are getting hard to find. I plan on cutting next Friday

 

[Mark71gtx]

We need a video of this cutting...

 

[X 66 stang347 X]

Most defiantly. My air filter should be in next week then I'm making some cuts.

Saw ran very good and tuned pretty easy. 20" 3/8RS chain

Love the saw and the story behind it. I have never seen a muffler like that on a 65 or 77, is it for a 380CD or 480CD or the like? Looks for all the world like a 2100 muffler. I have a 65 that I am restoring for a friend, would love to find one of those mufflers for it, old one is rotted bad. Anyone happen to have a part number?

Cool saw, nice video, but wrong bar...

 

[X 66 stang347 X]

The original on it was like this which I couldn't fine. I found one other muffler on eBay and it was like my NOS muffler. Think my old one was called a jungle muffler? That's how it looked before the patch also

I got a lot of hard to find parts from this guy. You tell him what you have and he sends you a PDF on what he has with the parts #'s in alpha numerical order with prices. glennssawservice@gmail.com
