Husqvarna 51 Gets A Ported 55 Cylinder

[@fatmattchopshop3620]

Thanks!

[@bellhoppersaws]

Thank you buddy you rock

[@paulgood2218]

I'm working on a 51 now doing basically same build. I ran out of exhaust tube. And ended up cutting up a jack handle to get my round exhaust pipe and welder it in . Not easy on that thin muffle lol.

[@seather863]

Nice build Hopper! Thanks for sharing.

[@karnesmotorsports]

Got a 51 given to me that needed a cylinder. Didn’t port it, but set it up without the base gasket. It’s a solid little saw. Nice one to add to my collection of Stihl’s.

Bellhopper, God Bless and Protect you and your loving family:) I love spending time with you:)

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

Thanks for sharing, it’s always interesting to see how you build saws

[@simpleman4224]

Another ripper from the hopper bench! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@VicsYard]

That’s awesome. One of my favorite saws is the 55. Great size for working.

[@lonnieholbert8898]

I have a 50 that was giving to me scored to hell. I converted it to the 55 and ported it. Wouldve like to go a little farther with the open port transfers but was leary. Only had 20 degrees of blowdown.

[@justinweaver8787]

Sounds like a beast sir i have no doubt.

[@iraagans3144]

Thats a neat little saw, did they also come with a old closed port?

[@leifvejby8023]

No, but you could mount closed port cylinder from Partner 5000 - 5500 or Jonsereds 490 - 590, and get quite a screaming saw.

[@charlesmason1278]

Some 55 saws had closed, some open. the rancher was open, the EPA version was closed. I have one of each sitting on my shelf. I don't think the 51 was available both ways, but I could be wrong.

[@christopherwest5840]

Nicely done. Did u put it in some wood?

[@DaveyBlue32]

Those Stay-Silv silver brazing rods are really nice quality too… it’s great stuff! Stumbled across some with some shop tools and equipment that a guy wanted hauled off… I’m glad I went through everything and that I didn’t just toss everything… I hated tossing off the old drum cutting lathe but I couldn’t find anyone who had any current use for it???

[@Tcw2019]

I’d love to buy a ported 51 if you ever have another!

[@Zack-dv8jt]

Hi what size piston was it 45mm or 46mm thanks great video by the way

[@bellhoppersaws]

@@Zack-dv8jt 55 cylinder is 46 mm buddy

[@johnarnettsways.8758]

Great saw and a solid build my friend. What size pin sprocket are you using? See ya Saturday my friend. ❤️🌲🪓👊🏻🙏🏻

[@lennie8098]

Why didn't you go with the closed port cylinder, and the pop up piston?

[@easingrapod1274]

Hi. it can also be replaced with a stihl 028 type piston without any changes?

[@smackevans3695]

She going to be a good cutting saw buddy

[@woody1755]

I know that smell I burned 3" of my beard off soldering a water heater under a house once🤣🤣

[@mattkomar8372]

Hey bellhopper! I've taken a little Hiatus from KZbin but question for you a Husqvarna 351 in pretty good if not almost mint condition from a reputable person. He wants 350 but said he will take $3 25. All my buddies are breaking my stones saying how it's not worth it but I don't know man what's your opinion? And what size bar you think I could put on there to rip some wood? By the way I hope everything with your back is going well! It's been that long! LOL

[@bellhoppersaws]

Its basicly a larger 346 some people turn them into 346 its a pro saw with a mag case they usually sell for around 5 bills in good shape. When ported they are stout and 18 is bout as far as i would go

[@settlersaws8338]

Nice job buddy

[@dbrdetailing9664]

Hey cylinder meteor itally do husqvarna 55 good kits ?

[@smackevans3695]

[@Grayhawk1976]

[@bellhoppersaws]

Its saftey silv 45 buddy

[@scottwilcox6741]

On a Husqvarna 55 can you put a 61 piston and cylinder on it

[@johnsonlong1272]

I won't say you can't but it won't bolt up to stock holes.
