Husqvarna 440 Chainsaw

I just bought one to go clean up after Hurricane Harvey. Hot hard miserable conditions this saw worked as designed. Money well spent.

Thanks for the great video, I have a regular 440. Have had it for several years, nice saw. 😁

I had to repair/cleanup an old Husqvarna 440e and this clearly explained how to proceed. Thanks so much!!

Just want to say Thanks, didn’t know I had a 440E😳 I have a 240 for back-up, living up north you need dependable gear and I still burn wood. 4 years no problem good job guys👍🏽

I just bought a 440 E series that doesn't have the tool less chain tensioner. I'm happy about it as I prefer the simple nut and screw. Very nice chainsaw for the other reason you stated.

The too-less chain tensioner is a nice feature but some of the customers using them do not quite get the knack for the proper operation. When adjusting the chain after the bar and chain is properly on the saw, it pays to follow these few steps. Tighten down the main bar nut tight and back it out about 1-2 turns. Wiggle the bar as the chain is tensioned towards the (+) sign. Make sure the chain is snug tight by turning the dial firmly (+). When turning the dial it is a firm process, not like adjusting a sound dial on a speaker. Wiggle the bar as you are tightening. Then tighten down the main bar nut. Take a heavy rag and manually spin the chain carefully. Test the tension again. After a chain spins it may seat differently when finding its grove. Tighten again with the steps above if the chain is not on snug. Chains become loose over time naturally when cutting, but if you follow these steps and tighten “Firmly” then the Too-Less model can be a good feature.

Great video, thanks so much!!

Thanks,nice demonstration.

GOOD video. I was confused by the tool less chain tensioner and how it was used until I watched what you did and now my chain is snug, but can be turned by hand. A picture is worth a 1000 words? Also I did not know the air filter was a 2 piece one that snaps apart/together. Many thanks for your presentation!

great , answered my questions. However my 440e does not have a port to grease the nose sprocket. How come?

Thanks for your informative video.

Elgin, IL dang. I was up there many years ago and installed the control system in your water treatment plant. Cool little town you have up there in the snow belt. I just bought a bran spankin new 440e and it doesn't have the spiffy chain adjustment. Bombed I guess?

perfect explanation thank you

I have a 440 e and it has the normal cover and nut

Anyone know if there's a special tool for the carb and other adjustment screws?

I was hoping to see you put the chain on, i cant get it on mine, reg 440

I can't unspin my clutch cover....any ideas? It's all plastic and I don't want to snap it off.

Just tore my 440 apart trying to find a bad fuel line, or the cause for the bulb not pumping up. What a nightmare! Three hoses, 6 connections, and you have to take everything off to get to them. I've worked on easier saws without a doubt. Turned out to be the carburetor, as the hoses looked to be good, but it all had to come off anyway. Tip, take step by step pictures. Alas I did not. You guys wouldn't happen to have a fuel hose video, would ya? I bought all new OEM formed hoses, because I ain't doing this again. You know, I always use Sta-Bil, always run the saw dry, and ALWAYS use fresh fuel, past 30 days gets tossed. No idea what happened.

Great vid. Is this a chainsaw that you could use in a multi day usage just below commercial grade?

I love husqvarna products they've always treated me incredibly well , I currently have a 450E2 with a 16" narrow kerf bar and chain and a 440 with a 13" narrow kerf as well as a 16" if I wish which is my back up saw and I love them box but I gotta say I've never seen that tool-less chain tensioner system the 440E has there I had no clue they used that and honestly I'm somewhat disgusted and shocked as well quite disappointed, it may work quite well I have no idea but I just could never applaud that type of chain tensioning/retaining setup on any saw. But can you consider maybe doing a detailed video doing the adjustable 460 rancher oil pump retro-fit/conversion into the 445/450 chassis of saws as I'm highly interested in carrying this mod out myself but the extent in which the metal oil pump cover plate from a 455/460 must be modified to properly fit the 445/450 chassis is unclear to me as I've found almost nobody even mentioning this modification is possible but I know it is cause I seen a video of a guy who did it but it was not well detailed. Edit , I've also heard you can also use the adjustable oil pump from a 346xp as well.
