Husqvarna 50

so i have this husky 50 sitting here and it needs a piston. was
figuring on putting a stock piston back in as the cylinder is
still near perfect and the rest of the saw is in fairly good
shape save for the brake handle and clutch shoes.
the saw runs (albeit rattles like a can full of rocks) good,
will cut well and still has good power. the piston is WAY WAY
worn out, but the engine will still blow 155psi all day long :D
just makes alot of slap slap slap sounds when running.
the person i bought it off of for parts said the crank was bad.
when i tore it down i found the piston ovaled nearly 18thou and
with a good belly half way up the skirts ;D
i "think" it's a45mm'er but the vern. caliper i'm using says i'm
just shy of 45mm buy about 1/3 a mm at just above the pin.
of course the piston and cylinder are at home. so i can't check
until tonight. same for the serial#.
was bought new in 1989, has that horrible squish the filter to
choke mechanism......
sooo, what other top ends will fit on this saw. part numbers
would be fantastic! thanks. 8)

I had read somewhere that husky 50 had 2 different cyl bolt
patterns for early and late. You know anything about this Spike
or others? I cant get the pdf file to open that it was in to
post for you.
But on the later I think you could put 51 55, 500, 490, 590,
5000, 5000 plus and 325 5500 540 on. Check clearance for the
46mm ones.
IPL for husqvarna 51 55

Some dealers used to put the 5000 top on a husky 50 to make what
is called a 50 Magnum.
(Back in the 80's we were selling a Husqvarna 50 Magnum. This
saw was created in Charlotte, NC by the Husqvarna Distributor
owned by Jim Thompson, The guy that made Husqvarna as far as I'm
concerned. They brought in Partner 5000 cylinders and pistons
and put them on 50 Rancher (the old white top) saws. These saws
were awesome. The first one I received we got out of the box on
Thursday and blew the competition out of the water on Saturday
at the Races. Back then we had Chainsaw competition's on monthly
bases. Husqvarna Sweden made them stop building them in the
states. We built some ourselves after they stopped. It was a
simple bolt on with no modifying at all. Someday I'll tell you
more about the old Husqvarna distributors that made Huqvarna
what they are today.)

I know a couple guys I traded my NOS and used ones off to
already. ;D
I think I only have 3 top ends left and they are on saws right
now.

thats o.k., i'll give you a couple minutes to go grab one for me
;D
sawtroll figures it is a 45mm. i tend to agree as my vern. was
showing the piston slightly bigger than 44mm.
i might just throw a stock piston in it and run it. also needs
clutch shoes (they're missing about 1/8"--yes an 1/8" dia). they
still grab good but the spool up time is looong. and the brake
handle is broken at the top. nothing major. everthing else is in
good shape for the amount of use.

Well well, isn't this a timely thread. 8) I have a pretty nice
50 gray top that is going to be my next project. It's an '87, so
that would make it a 44mm. The switch to the 45 came a couple
years later. I wouldn't necessarily assume that the cylinder
change coincided exactly with the corresponding change in the
case, but I doubt that I'd be able to put the closed port 55 jug
on there. But I did want to juice it up somewhat.
What I do have, (and never gave it a thought til reading this
thread), is a good Jonsered 490 top end. The 50 is not a bad
destination for this jug since I busted off the top mount bolt
when taking the 490 apart, so I won't have to screw with
drilling it out. :D
I'm going to stick with the goofy choke and filter set up cause
I want to stay with the gray top look and besides, that will
make it more of a sleeper. Do a compression bump, muff mod.
Guess I'll be building myself a 50Magnum.
Not aware of a different bolt pattern for these saws. Maybe
something on the earliest white tops? I'll do a little research
and see what I can come up with.
