My new to me Husqvarna

[Dh1984]

here's my newest saw i traded for. it's a husqvarna but i don't know what size i know it's not too big of a saw. but at least it runs with a little clean up and it runs pretty darn good too for what i traded for it.If anyine has any ideals what it please tell me. i think it is a 44 husqvarna but not really sure yet.i still have to get a top cover and bar and chain and it should be ready to cut wood again.and after i get more money i'll get a other clutch cover for it because the one that is on it now is cranked.

It's a 44. I have one, just don't use it. opened up the muffler, made it scream!

About 1989 to 1991 I think? i had a 44 too. Sold it a few years back.

Ok Thanks for telling me what it is. i traded a little homelite xl auto trim saw for it.and only thing i had to do is clean the carb and clean it up a bit. and then it was ready to go.i was going to take the muffler screen out of it but when i tookt he muffler off it didn't have one.so i put it back on and opened it a little and then went on the look for a bar and chain.and monday i'll go and pick up the top cover from the guy i traded with.

It's okay, it wasn't much of a challenge... it's on the frigging nameplate, if you look at the picture you took.

LOL thanks this is my first husqvarna and i really don't nothing about these kind of saws yet.but i'm soon to find out

This is a 1979 model. Not the Practica version so it should have orange top cover instead of white.
They were made '79 and '84. Sold as long as they had any...
It replaced the 40Praktica.

This and the 444 was last saws made in the 140 series saws.

here is the saw i traded for a week ago. i havn't found a top cover yet.but i decided to sell it on e-bay instead

No luck on a top cover from Ebay or the like? Shame; those were a good saw.

yea i looked all over and couldn't find one. eveyone i talked to at the dealer and over the phone told me that it was a white top. but i would settle for a orange top if i could have found one. thats if i was keeping it to use.But it's Up for grabs on E-bay right now it's got 6 days and some odd hours left.

well hot dang right when i was going to sell it a top cover pops up. dang i don't know what to do know.if i decide to keep it i'll have to find a other saw to sell so i can make room for it in my shop. dang this early in the AM and my head is already hurting

 

[NeTree]

Just a thought; it'd probably sell for a lot more WITH a top cover and a bar.

well i'll see if i can get the top cover and then put it on it. and then i'll find a new bar and chain and see what i can get out of it.

Look at the tag on it and if it say Practika it should have white top cover, No Practica, orange or grey cover.
It has the low air filter so it should not be a raised cover on it that have the extra room for large filter.

And dude... Don't run saws without top cover..
They get no cooling and damages from the heat!

Here is a couple different versions of it:

I looked on the tag and it don't say practica so i think it had the orange or the gray top.and thanks for helping me.I'm bidding on that top you showed me last night so hope fully i'll win it and then i'll have a top for it.

[Dh1984]

[Magnus]

How did it go?
Got a cover for it yet?

 

[woodworkingboy]

DH1984. You may not need a larger saw NOW. If you get it running well and you think it is a good saw, just do the few things that are necessary to be able to keep a saw in good condition without running it for a long time. Probably be glad at some point that you kept it.
