Husqvarna 50

[SawTroll]

Got an old beat up one here, rarely use it now. I assume it must '86!

Still runs fine for a 30yr old saw that hasn't had much tlc.

Yep sounds about right! Decal is original and the old boy who sold it to me thinks he brought it around 1990.

The serial number of that saw would be very interesting!

Why so Saw Troll?

Why so Saw Troll?

 

Actually there are 3 reasons in this case;

 

1) Verify that the saw left the factory as a 45mm 50 Special

 

2) The never ending search for one that is may be made after 1989 (I have seen none so far)

 

3) Looking for a possible reason for the missing jubilee decal.

 

Serial no

 

1989 week 47 answers all the above in my mind;

 

1) There is no reason to doubt it left the factory as a 50 Special, as it fits in the already established serial number range, and there were no similar looking other models made at that time

 

2) This one is made in 1989, like all the others I have seen

 

3) The decal likely is missing because the saw was made too late in 1989 to hit the UK market the same year. They started putting the jubilee decales on the saws late 1988, likely for a similar reason.
