got one with a seize. pot has cleaned up good but wants a new piston. there was an air leak between what seems like a poorly designed bit of rubber.

 

so this saw was never really running since i had it. it cost £50. are they any good? worth getting a meteor piston and a few other seals etc or are they homeuserplasticoldnonsensebettersavingmymoneyandtimeforsomethingelse?

 

if fixed its for my pops for his firewood so will never be worked all day every day.....

 

its a grey top one and doesn;t look like its had a too hard life.

 

also i'm struggling to find a good husky part online dealer - suggestions please. L and S doen't seem to have the parts.

 

thanks

The Husqvarna 50 was a great little saw, complety bullit proof, as a semi pro/farmer saw it is well worth repairing, any Husqvarna dealer should help with parts, if you want a parts list send me an e mail address and i will send one.

The white top 50 was the original, it had a strange looking lever on the back of the cover for the choke ( it was the first Husqvarna to have a name as well as a model no. the Rancher ) the grey top came next, the later version got a normal choke, the latest was the orange top, this was to fall in line with the rest of the models, the orange top machine was a 51cc rather than 50cc, the bigger cylinder will not fit on the earlier machines due to the size of the cylinder skirt, there were changes around the carb and air filter, the machine became the 51 with a larger brother the 55.

There actually were both "Practica" and "Rancher" models well before the 50 Rancher.
