Mad as a raped ape, or wise as an owl because you saved a ton of money?
Just another junk chainsaw

Yes, a bar would be nice. The Epay seller is out till tomorrow.
They have a few emails from me to read.
I can't wait to tear it down and clean it up!
Wait, the bar from my Stihl Mini Boss 009, and it's chain should
fit the 445 till I get the 18" bar they owe me yes?

Ha! Well, indeed, in my eyes, I think I did well, providing the seller
stands tall and reimburses me for a bar.
It looks like it will clean up Nicely!
Under $180.00 and as clean as it looked, w/ free-shippin', just screamed "Deal", to me.
As I think I suggested before, I think I want one
of those chainsaw debarking tools, like a Log Wizard
or the like and this saw might be a good dedicated
Debarkin' tool. I sent out an RFQ locally for a 555 and
a 562XP with;
3 cans Husky mixed fuel (For the 4 year warranty deal)
1- 24" Husky bar
2- 24" Husky chain
1- Spark Plug
1- Air cleaner

Glad you finally got it started.
I am surprised they didnt drain the fluids. And even more surprised the package wasnt confiscated.
It is unlikely the bar from your stihl 009 will work. Stihls typically use a much larger slot for the bar studs. hey make kits you can buy with larger studs to put a stihl bar on a husky mount, but I wouldnt go that route.
And if for some reason you can make it work, you have to make sure its the right pitch. That saw is likely either .325 pitch or 3/8 low profile. And the are NOT interchangeable. Pull the cover off, and look and see what the drive rim says says to make sure you get the right bar and chain.

I think someone had asked if I would give a review of the 445 Husky I
recently bought on ebay.
It was I think $180.00 w/ ride BUT the seller SUCKS HARD and they placed
the bar on edge, it wore a hole in the thin cardboard and it is clogging
a UPS conveyor somewhere between here and the Midwest now.
The seller proclaimed I HAVE 100 INSURANCE an promptly told
me to go get it....sigh...........
I found a Husky OE 72DL bar for $40.00 including ride...
When I got the saw I took it apart and cleaned it quickly w/
pressurized air and some wd40 and dang! It is almost a flawless
saw. I even pulled the muffler and looked at the piston and
it was just a light brown color and not a scratch anyplace on it.
This saw really gets up on the pipe and spins like a raped ape.
It is a noodler when the chain is sharp.
It would be a great limbing saw I do believe and OK for smaller
diameter trees and great for firewood use. It really is sweet, alas I do
want a MUCH stronger saw.

...interesting, 9K RPM Both but the 445 out spins the .4 HP larger 450 by an RCH.
Chain speed at max power for the 445=56.89 fts and the 450= 56.76 fts
What the heck is an "fts" ? Full Teeth per Second ?

Is Stihl and Echo only sold for MSRP? A poster said he bought a Echo 500P with 20" Bar for 389 and I can't find it at less than MSRP of469.

Stihl is definitely only msrp... unless your dealer makes you a deal. I was trying to get my dealer to come down a little on a fs250 and he said he really couldn't because stihl keeps raising his cost without raising msrp. I have a pretty good relationship with that dealer and I think he was being honest.

My dealer came off about $50 off MSRP on my ms362, and threw in some mix oil and some files. I thought it was a pretty good deal. I think it varies greatly dealer to dealer though. The other 3 Stihl dealers in our area were pretty stuck on MSRP like it was a lock-in price.

it does vary dealer to dealer and my dealer also gives a discount on based on how many piece of equipment you buy

The Echo dealers here do not waiver at all on list prices.

The dealer I go to here has Husqvarna and Stihl. They will knock 5% off marked price. Not sure about the Stihl saws, but the Husky saws are marked a little below MSRP...
Next junker build in line. Will be using the quad port cylinders that out cut the 440 DP and 372 in my last 70.7cc rebuild testing. :thumbsup:
Going to paint this one orange with black cylinder and af covers with black tank. Just because they were made in the husky plant but never came out this way. Sort of on the lines on why I made a lime green one and also extra covers in purple to make a big wild thing. :laughing:

Was working on a couple of orange saws the other day for a guy and after test cutting I ask him if he wanted to run a Wild Thing. I went and got my WT 505 83cc and handed to him. I thought for a minute I wasnt going to get it back after test cuts with only 24" b+c and as big as a grin he had on his face walking away.
