Hi guys,

I have a husky 50 rancher with a scored piston and cylinder. Where do you guys get replacements parts for these? I'm happy to buy US and ship them here (Downunder). Be a real pity not to use this saw in a plane.

Any info really appreciated!!!!!

Thanks Tim

Don't you have a shop that sells and repairs husqvarna things where you live? Husqvarna is a big company any they have a lot of resellers that could get you the parts you need. One problem with my husqvarna is that it's to old so there are some problem if I need spareparts.

Yes we have Husqvarna dealers and repairers but here in Oz the price of spare parts is over the top. I'll give you an example. I bought 2 well used, not working, Jonsered 40cc chainsaws from a mower shop for $50. After I disassembled them I found the cylinder and piston was scored and beyond fixing in both. I decided to get a price on a cylinder, piston and ring kit. Price was $350. The same shop would sell me a complete chainsaw, same model for $379. They don't want to sell spares over here, they want to sell you a new appliance.
I managed to track down a Jonsered dealer repairer in the US and got 1 complete new cylinder, piston and ring kit and 1 second hand cylinder with piston and new ring for $260 AU shipped. So I got TWO 40's going for just over $300. Way better than $400 for 1.
I just happened to price a cylinder, piston and ring kit for the Husky today at the local dealer. $415, that's 2/3's the price of a new saw.
Bugger that for a joke.

I'm hoping one of you guys in the States can point me in the right direction.

Thanks Tim.

Hi Tim,
I did some checking on the net and I could only find the Rancher 55cc. I don't think that the 50 was sold here. Here is a web site for parts and the Rancher 55 parts are cheap. http://www.jackssmallengines.com/husqp55r.cfm I think that the cylinders me be interchangable. If this is the case you could get the extra displacement in the bargin. The cylinder is flange mounted to the top half of the crank case or the whole case is part of the saw body, which has to be cut out of the body. Also I have seen many Rancher 55 saws in running condition on Ebay at very reasonable prices.

I hope this helps, Dave

Thanks Dave, will check it out. Would be nice if the 55 is interchangable.

Cheers Tim.
