The picture is a bit unclear, but the serial number looks like 1401928 which means the saw was made 1991 week 40. Everything I see fits with an early 51, which fits with that timing. Normally the model number also is on the tag, but I can't make it out from that picture. The 51 and 55 replaced the 50 early 1990. Anyway you should measure the bore, as the top end may have been changed at some point.
-
Yes, but I'd prefer to avoid the "e" version, as it adds weight for pretty useless features. The 350 is the best plastic cased saw ever made though, much better than the MS250 that has been mentioned here. You actually can put a 346xp top end on it, with a slight modification to the case.
-
Sort of, but it varies a lot between different markets, and even between models or model segments. .
-
The (70.7cc non-xt) 372xp is one of the most "modification friendly" models out there. More gains can be had on that model/version than on most others, if the one that does it knows what to do.
-
No problem - as long as you know what you do, and why. Personally, I feel that bar mount crossover is a rather moot point though.
-
I said a little - and it is up to each and everyone if they care. The small mount bars usually is a little lighter as well - and when you add up several such small differenses it will matter at some point....
-
Then you get a little extra weight into the bargain - but it still is among the lighter and neater 60cc saws.
-
I didn't know that this was supposed to be an advertsment forum - but anyway i'd prefere a 560xp to a 562xp.
-
The PP475 is the same as the early P7700 and J 2077 - that didn't have the "air injection". The 2077 got that in 1992 (or late 1991), and I assume the P7700 also did. There were other saws that got the fully developed "air injection" earlier - J 2051 in 1987, and 262xp in 1989.

As I read the IPL, it is the complete handle, with all the mounting hardware and AV mount - but that price seems way to low for all that, so there obviously is some mix-up.....

The Jonsered UK website is up, with normal funcsions like dealer locater, part list/manual lookup etc.... http://www.jonsered.com/uk/

The "plastic" tubing on the Husky handles are not black, it is gray - like the chain brake handle etc.
-
That's the "naked" wrap handle for the 562xp really. The complete handle is 576 94 51-01. The black 2260 handle will of course look odd on a 560xp.
-
According to the 2001 IPL, part number 503 64 66-04 is a kit that includes the small spline drum and a .325x7, and the correct drive gear for the oil pump. The 3/8" kit came with a standard (large) spline drum, so it isn't really odd that it is on your saw - just the choise of a previous owner. 254xp IPL 2001-09 PS; take a look at frame Y in the above IPL, if your saw isn't a late one....
-
It simply isn't possible to make a 7 (or 8) pin .325 rim that fits in a large (standard) 7-spline drum - so no wonder there are no delivery date!
-
That Suri surely is going to last longer, no question about it - but it also is a much more expensive bar. Now there are different "standard Husky" laminated bars out there - some are original Husky (made in Norway) with 10t noses, some are rebranded Oregon Pro-Lite, that may or may not have 12t noses in .325 (both 10 and 12t ones are made).... I'm not sure how large the noses of the .325 Sugi bars are?
-
The real maximum is of course longer, but then the handling/balanse would suffer badly. A 13" is of course awkward on that saw, as the saw will be rear heavy. I would have liked to mostly use a 16", but 18" will be fine as well if needed - and a 20" can of course be used in a pinch. Be aware that the 18" 72dl .325 stuff is only 17", while the 68dl 3/8" stuff is over 18". With a short .325 bar, an 8-pin drive sprocket likely is a good idea.
-
Good question, as you seldom hear about those bars - when people mention SugiHara, they usually refer to the the Light Pro bars. Marketing and availiability obviously are weak points with Sugihara on most markets.
-
As far as I know, that vendor isn't willing to sell out of the US (or at least wasn't).....
-
That is true (except the actual cc were 82.4 and 76.5). There were 70.7cc and 65cc models as well, but not in red color - only from Partner and Poulan Pro. The earliest saws didn't have the fully developed "Air Injection", but the later ones did (from 1992 or so).
-
It is a Tilly, at least in most of them.
-
9,000 rpm is the max power rpm, not the max recommended rpm.
-
I attach a 1997 WS manual, that covers the 281 and many other models. 1997 WS manual.pdf
-
Yep, just a normal functional chainbrake - but far from all saws had that at the time the model was introduced in the early 1980s, so they made a point of it.
