Stihl 440 for trade

[Tucker943]

I have a stihl 440 I am looking to trade for a Husky 372, 365 or maybe even a 346. I got the saw new in 06 if i remember right. The inner felling dawg is missing and I suspect the threaded hole on top to put a new one in might be stripped out. The outer dawg is there. The saw runs great and starts right up everytime. It has some use on it, not abuse. I have always had it dealer maintained and run all my saws 50:1 synthetic oil. Dont hesitate to make any offers, I'm not set on those saws I listed. If my pic links dont work, I will email pics.

I take it you just like Husky's better?

I have a like new 365 special, but I cant bring myself to part with it. plus 372's I wont part with.

Always wanted to run a stock 440 to see what all the hoopla is about. I would guess about the same as a stock 372 right?. Be warned I thought the 460 stock was gutless.

What do you want for the 440 outright?

[Tucker943]

Its not that I prefer Huskys. Its like i said in another topic on here, I get better dealer support from my local husky dealer. The 440 is a good comparison to a 372. I really enjoy that 440 but i am doing away with my stihls with the exception of the 200t's. Nothing will steer me away from those.

Say what? 46's rule.

Must have been a real sick one .

Brand new not broken in with that stupid pencil sized exhaust hole. If truth be told. ;) :/:

[Al Smith]

No matter still ,than Stihl still should have ran fairly well .

[Tucker943]

Geez no one even offered me a beat down piece of garbage yet. I never said I was looking for a show pony! I also have a running 200t with a squirelly oiler for $120.

[arborworks1]

How about a 141 husky and 100 bucks?

[Tucker943]

thats stretchin it but I'll keep that in mind

[arborworks1]

125?

. Be warned I thought the 460 stock was gutless.



:roll:



I run a 36" bar on my 046 pushing full comp chain. It aint no 066, but it aint near gutless.

[squisher]

That must be a bear to file.

[Tucker943]

I apologize arborworks but I am not in need of that saw

[arborworks1]

How much for the 440 then?

[top hopper]

That must be a bear to file.

Yeah it can be. I can give it a once over in about 5-10 minutes depending on how dull it is. I prefer semi skip but whoever last ordered a roll of chain at work, ordered full comp. I wasnt real happy but I will use what they give me.

[squisher]

but I will use what they give me.

For sure!

If I ever get a chance to stop in at our local shop I gotta inquire about whether they've got any 440's left.

[Tucker943]

I'm really not looking to sell it and then go snoopin around for a saw to replace it with. I would rather just see if i cant trade it out for a pro saw of equal value and call it a day. If no good trades pop up I'll just keep it around and use it.

[top hopper]

Ill trade ya a 036 and 009 for it.

Those 2 together should equate to an 044 (45 to be precise). :D

[rbtree]

I'm interested as I always liked my 044's....sold one to a friend, had one stolen.

For trade, I have a 575 for which I'd add cash to the deal....
an ehp 346, which runs like it was new...which I really don't want to part with
a muffler modded 5100S which isn't that much slower than my ehp 5100....I'd add cash to that deal as well.

a like new stock 372XPW, you'd owe me some $
an ehp 372....ditto on needing some $

a brand new 346NE....

[Skwerl]

Looks kinda tired...

And that photo sharing site sucks, got a frikkin popup when I tried to close the tab. :what:

Good point, bud.

I'd have to have a compression reading and a pic inside the muffler port before I'd go for a trade.....kinda gunshy of buying a 440 that's been run with only that dinky stock port.

[thattreeguy]

you wouldnt sell it out right, why not trust me i have some pretty lookin 346's but they get punished, great saws, i just wouldn't hand any of my saws to anyone without them knowin how they get used...hard
i wont part with my 372's
so you dont want cash ...i mean cash, to go to husky and say i want a new 346 please, why yes i do want the
20" bar with skip tooth please

[Tucker943]

Treeguy, I cant understand a thing you wrote. What I am getting is that you think I am foolish to not sell it for cash.

The saw is no longer up for trade. Seems to be drawing a little bad attention and I'd like to avoid online pissing matches. Especially here, this place has really grown on me.

[MasterBlaster]

Me either.

[Cut4fun]

Thought one of his saws showed up today, but it was a 026 parts saw.

I bought the 200T from him that he mentioned. When it gets here I will check psi to compare to psi he told me in a photo.
He sure seems like a honest guy from all of our conversations so far. I wouldn't be scared to take his word. Will see when I get the 200T in hand.

[Tucker943]

Appreciate the compliments treetrim. The compression readings will match up.

[thattreeguy]

ohh im sorry if i am confusing
i was offering out right $ because my saws are pretty but tired, and i wouldnt feel right trading 1 of them, thought youd like to buy a newer saw than have an older one thats all.
no pissing match here
sorry if you dont understand the old tree guy

[squisher]

I learned today that my local saw shop has no new 440's left. End of an era.:(

[Cut4fun]

I also have a running 200t with a squirelly oiler

I just got the 200T. Haven't did a compression test yet, but it has plenty of pop and does have the carb issue and bar oiler that he told me about.
The saw was in better condition then what his pics showed.
Tucker was very honest in the description and feel I got the better end of the deal. I have already fixed the bar oiler problem and will start with the carb bogging issue next. Once past the initial throttle blip bog and getting into the rpms she holds a steady 14K.

I would buy from Tucker again. If I had something to trade or if he priced me a good price on the 440 I wouldn't hesitate
to deal with him again.

I will post the PSI as soon as I check it. He stated 150psi on the 200T, I bet it is that or better. Thanks for the smooth transaction :D

[MasterBlaster]

Don't forget to yank the spark arrestor.

[Cut4fun]

Don't forget to yank the spark arrestor.

This is the first one I have owned. I didn't see a spark arrestor or anything that appears to be around the outlet area. I looked at the IPL and I suppose it has already been pulled.

Any pics of one with it and one without?

[MasterBlaster]

Not me, but I'm sure someone has some pics. It's that 'lil screw...

[Skwerl]

Look in the thread where I fixed CursedVoyce's 200T. Pictures of a 200T muffler inside and out.

[Al Smith]

Let me tell you a little something about the 200T's .They have been plagued with problems on the Zama carbs.Cracked in the diaphragm chambers .

If that's the case ,there is no fix other than a new carb .

Typically as they warm up the crack enlarges starving the saw for fuel .This has been reported all over the world .

I don't think I was the first to find it but the first I think on any web forum ,maybe 3 years ago from a carb shipped from Australia .

A picture of that carb is on the thread link B put on .

It's probably already out. If you look straight at the exhaust opening on the right side of the saw you'll see a hex screw in the recess, it's holding the screen in . Remove the screw and pull the flange that it was retaining straight out. Done.

[Cut4fun]

Did compression check 150psi on the nose as you stated. Pulled the muffler and the cylinder and piston was in great shape.
The guy is honest. Thanks.

[Al Smith]

Those things really are not that loud with the screen pulled .Then again I suppose I'm just used to being around loud saws .

Your right there, The Poulan top handles like you and I have are much louder when the screen is removed and much more free breathing. I actually still like the feel and balance of the poulans better then this 200T.
people can say what they want. But my poulan 2000 and 1800 cost $99 and $119 new and only have had one coil fail. The 200T seems to be prone to problems for a $589 saw :O.

[MasterBlaster]

Same here, buddy.

[Al Smith]

The 440 and a majority of Stihl vertical cylinder saws have a very good escape route for the exhaust .Straight out exit .

The Poulan verticals are just about the same .The horizontals are a side exit,not quite as good but still better than the 200Ts .

The 200Ts , Husky 335 ,McCulloch 10 series and similar use a bottom exit and have to bend that exhaust by 90 degrees to get it out . I am of the belief that that factor right there is where there is room for improvement on these designs of saws .

It goes back to the basics of two cycles ,if it can't get out ,it can't get in .All the twittering with carbs ,porting etc is a moot point if it doesn't breathe freely .

[Tucker943]

The screen is already pulled.

[Cut4fun]

The screen is already pulled.

Yep noticed that and I already had muffler off and apart, Thanks to Skwerls easy 1 2 3 instructions. 1 side cover plastic torx screw and 2 muffler bolts and she slides out easy as pie. ;)
