Thanks for the reply.   I will check the serial number of the tank to see. The idea of looking to see which line is on it is good, but just because what is on it, does not mean it is the one that should be on it.  The saw has def seen better days, but the piston looks good, so i think there is still life left in it.

Once i get a chance, meaning once i get a chance in the daylight (as the mosquitos are terrible here) to work on it i will know better about what is going on with it.   I know i need the following yet:

air filter
clutch drum with rim and needle bearing - anyone use the oregon drum kit?
fuel line
impulse line
spark plug
Zama  RB-31 (number from memory, never a good plan) rebuild kit
18" B&C

Then i need to decide if i am going to try a restore to near new or keep it a ratty ride.   If the fomer, i need a new clutch cover and air filter cover and some painting skills.  If ratty ride, that should do it for parts. I will likely chose a happy medium on the restore.   Not near new, but presentable/sellable.

I use oregon drums on different saws with good results.

I assumed that was the case, they look to be built pretty well and the price is right for them.

I should have been working on this saw las friday, instead is was out playing with this one:



First chance to put some real trigger time since i purchased this MS 440... i still think i stole the thing for $200

Still have some work to do though!  Two more rows look just like this one.  Buddy is clear about 10 acres and is taking the trees down with a track hoe and lining them up.

So your the one that got it.  I seen it and waited to see how long it took.   I could have got it day before. But didnt want to drive a hour 1 way.

Glad you got it and it got a good home.   8) 8) 8) 8)

Yep, as nice as that thing is it would have probably brought $550 on ebay. Great score, and hope it serves you many years.

I would have flipped it for $400 local. Thats why I couldnt justify in mind driving just over 2hrs total on my time, plus my gas cost.   My time is very important to me.
