Husqvarna 480CD, getting it running so I can hear this pipe!!

I picked up a husqvarna 480cd, lets find out if it's s runner or just a relic.
Also I figured out that the crazy little l77 pipe will bolt up to it.
thanks for watching!!

[@shelbywright328]

my first wood boss in 1983 had a 480. it would idle kinda funny once in a while and spit and puke and then it would run backwards, the chain would actually be spinning backwards. never seen that since then.

[@Z-Bart]

Hey Tinman. Husqvarna's don't leak bar oil, they are just marking their territory. Lol.

[@steveriggenbach90]

Sounds great, zippy. Your daughter will need saw noises to go to sleep. Lol Take care

[@afleetcommand]

Love this video.... and the L77 uses the same top end as that 480cd btw. Might have to get mine out and build a pile :) Great collection you are building :) The big "difference" is top end obviously but they wanted to separate the gasoline from the heat of the cases. For me....I run my L77 and never had an issue , really enjoy them :) With that big heavy flywheel, it sounds like an old 60's era dirt bike :)

[@justinweaver8107]

Build er up sir

[@Joe2328]

it is a 380cd - just checked mine and the handle bolts have the same rubber mounts and it has the same black rear handle. my 480 has no base gasket, a little bit off the piston skirt on the intake side, bigger lower transfers, larger exhaust port and opened up muffler. First time I have modded a cylinder and am well pleased. So much torque! Would love to see the tinman do one of these properly!

My dad bought a 480cd new, well my mom got it for him anyhow! My brother has it now, we have another 480 that's rough, I love these saws, just wish there were more parts available as I'd love to rebuild the other 480 we have

[@JimmyJonesOutlaw]

I have run my 480CD for over fifteen years, it was used when I purchased it back in 2008. They are excellent, powerful saws all round, and their only weak point is the case around the front rubber mounts are prone to cracking. Mine is still going strong after 40+ years and its had almost nothing done to it, other than the usual bar and chain replacements.. I am in the UK and its a rare saw on this side of the pond too...

[@wayneharper87]

That saw and pipe are so freakin cool, keeps me excited to play around with my saws

[@mrxlh]

We finally get to hear “the pipe”!!! Nice job Tinman.

[@danielzukeran7625]

Soooo glad to finally here this pipe roar!

[@bigboreleveraction933]

I recently got a 480 given to me with abunch of 2100 parts. Cleaned it up and replaced the fuel line and she runs great. Was pretty rough looking but cleaned up pretty nicely.

[@H_Htreeservice]

wow that thing sounds great tinman!!! what a deal brotha

I see you had a baby girl! Congratulations 🎉 Life just keeps getting better

Love your channel. I'm in Ireland. I have one of these 480 CDs. Immaculate saw.

[@stihlhuskyworkin1011]

Tinman, the old 480 with that pipe sounds awesome 🤙🏼. I wish i had one of those for my 371xp 😁. Lookin forward to seeing more of that saw in the future 💪🏼

[@joutdoorsmen23]

Awesome fine Tinman, I wish I could fine saws like, i hope well with Baby Charile, take care be safe and God Bless!!!!!

[@squidman3807]

Heard you mention You have an L77 Husky. I used to cut firewood in the 80's and owned 5 of them. I kept one for posterity and it hadn't run for 20+ years. I just recently got it together and it runs as good as when it cut for me back then. It stumped me for years until I found a piece of gasket on the intake manifold. Good channel to learn from.

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

Great sounding saw

[@gordsmith7708]

Hi Tinman hope you and yours are all well . I want one of those PIPES for my 372xp haha sounds awesome and looks way cool . Keep on keeping on man.

New subscriber here from the island of Tonga. I love learning and btw - you are a great teacher. Both Bucking Billy and Ironhorse sang your praises and I understand what they meant. Take care youngman. Thank you for sharing your blessings with this small world of ours...btw, I dropped a note to your gmail and I hope it got to you...a gmail account I saw online.

Pipe sounds awesome

[@bryanmeier272xp8]

that saw must of been a needle in a haystack first time i ever herd or seen that model very kool saw tinman defiantly wouldn't let that saw go awsome video

[@tomdenniston5933]

My first husqvarna in that class was a 185CD, bought new. It failed somehow and it has been so long since I don't remember. Think it must have had an air leak and went lean. Loved it while it lasted. Rear handle and recoil cover look identical to yours. Got me goin' down memory lane.

[@DaveyBlue32]

That pipe is crazy cool!!!!

[@Joe2328]

Yo tinman, 480cd is the first saw I ported, been cutting with it for the first time today - loving it, would never have done it without you, cheers. However the 480cd has a metal handle, I have a 380 that has a plastic bit on the handle like yours but could even be a 180 or 280.

[@DaveyBlue32]

52mm over 36mm a big bore 372!!! 76.45cc listed as 77cc. The MS462! LMFFAO!!! She’s absolutely awesome!!! With that sexy pipe!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍😁

[@imperfectcuts7028]

Nice saw tinman. One of my buddies had a 480cd and lived it he sold it to pay his bills a number of years ago and regretted it every day since.

[@husqvarna-pit9044]

Nice -------Power ------ greetings from germany Peter

[@aaronpowell4885]

Ran across the same thing this weekend in a Tillotson hu for an echo cs-302, decent pump diaphragm and crispy metering. Though it was strange aswell! Bet that pipe could be heard a couple miles away!

[@boyfowler6078]

Smiles all through the video

[@erwinwilde3109]

Sometimes you actually have to lean out a saw after a muffler mod. The change could permit a huge difference in airflow through the engine, which will give you a much larger signal at the carburetor and a resultant increase in fuel flow. I had a couple of Stihl's that did this, the stock mufflers were so restrictive that after the mods they required a full turn leaner on the high side needles. Looking forward to seeing the 480 in some wood, nice running saw so far.

[@swampratman2000]

I logged pulpwood in the early 80s and the boss had a 480 we called it the 4lady that saw was a puller for sure. most of the time it just rolled around in the back of his truck and was a backup saw

[@nateolmsted899]

That pipe is awesome

[@donnywalker4691]

Good saws I have one nice pipe

[@vickisharp6959]

A pipe that that has some back pressure and reduces reversion would be cool. Have you ever paid attention to louvered strait thru car mufflers. The louvered vent holes faced away from exhaust port to prevent reversion, but also increases back pressure slightly. Keith S.

Sweet find, nice old saw. Found the specs for it see below. TC Mahalo Tinman 🤙🤙🤙

[@augustineirizary6590]

I built a 480cd last year that had a FMF Fatty. Was pretty cool! Sadly lost it in a shop fire.

[@timaustin110]

That pipe on a 088 👌👌👌

[@Indeewoods]

Funny this video just came up because I was just asking my 69 year old boss what saws he owns while coming home from work. . He only has two and one of them is an L77 he’s had for years. I’ve seen quite a few in my area and old logging pictures from here often show the L65 or L77. Quite the old war horse those ones.

[@shelbywilson114]

That pipe looks like something from Dr Seuss. I don't mean that in a negative way. It looks neat

[@eurokid83]

Every carb I rebuild goes into the ultrasonic regardless of how clean or dirty it looks. That way all the internal passages get cleaned out. That thing sounds great with the pipe! Should definitely be an improvement over the stock muffler.

[@donmayberryjrsOPE]

How long in the ultrasonic cleaner? What temperature? Thanks!

[@eurokid83]

@@donmayberryjrsOPE I like to run mine at 50C/122F and ten to fifteen minutes for carbs. I use 70% water 30% simple green. I found that ratio works good and won’t tarnish non ferrous metals as long as you keep cleaning time to 10-15 minutes. If you forget to take parts out and they sit for hours you will get some tarnishing/discoloration.

[@donmayberryjrsOPE]

@@eurokid83 thanks! Yup that's what happens, I leave them in too long and too hot and they come out like a BBQ burnt burger 🤣🤣😭

Awesome to see another vintage husky up and running. Way cool to hear the new pipe finally! Sounds amazing friend!

[@braydenbingham8981]

I’m a young guy whos pops swore by huskys, and like they say, I ended up just like him. But Iv decided to start a collection of my own. With my 480 being the 4th, Iv taken on quite the monster. You wouldn’t happen to have a 2100 lying around that you’d sell the clutch cover off of by any chance?😂

I think that is 180 or 280, 380 and 480 had rear handle part of the tank solid magnesium alloy, same cc 77 .

[@dn0682]

Probably along the life had rear handle changed, they're good saws I personally have 2 in good condition.

[@ionutbalan4997]

Hi,do You have a spai cylinder for Husqvarna 480cd?thank you

[@Honkanen_]

My 180s is not that zippy, i think it wants to breath more althought it has a muffler mod. Those original mufflers are very choked.

[@TurboDog73TX]

I don't know if the sound matters at all, but that pipe "sounds" kinda like an old school Diffusive megaphone. I bet it does work..

[@tinmanssaws]

It has the right sound for sure. We'll find out when I cut with it..

[@HaftardsGuideService]

So you gonna cut with this thing or what?

That's a 380. 480 has an all metal handle . 380 has the plastic one. Enjoy your videos
