    Question:
    I have a really old Husqvarna chainsaw-circa mid 80's. I only have a serial # with no model#. Serial# is 047728. I am looking for a parts & O & M manual to repair my saw. It still runs fine, but needs to have carb & seal kit, shut off switch & related tools. Please advise.
    Thanks!

      greg, I am thinking that you must try to find a model # on the powerhead somewhere.  there are some very old saws that have a plate down by the crank.  but without any information about that saw I don't even know where to attempt to try finding parts. 

      do you know displacement of engine size? original bar length?  have you looked for steel stamp marks on the jug? I would use a magnifying glass to find any info that I could, if I needed parts.  if you can't find information anywhere on the saw, then you may be able to take measurements of the intake port and then match those measurements to a contemporary carb intake manifold.  I have heard thru the vine that some old models have info somewhere near the exhaust port or muffler, but I have not noticed them.

      I am no help at all here, but if it were mine and I wanted to keep it working, then I would not give up easily.

      Greg,

      Based on your serial number 047728, The "0" in front means its a 1980 model.

      A very popular Model in 1980, was the Model 162, Here is a link to both a picture and OM for a 1980, Model 162: /images/ddoc/HUSO/HUSO1980_NAen/HUSO1980_NAen_162_1980.pdf

      I hope this helps, Please let me know if that is what it looks like.

      Greg,

      If you go to U-tube.com you can put in Husqvarna 162, or Husqvarna (any model number) and you will probably see a picture of it.

      Here are some other 1980's Husqvarna Models, so If the 162 is not the right number check these out: Husky 34, Model 40, Model 444, Model 61, and Model 133.

      You can also get OM's & IPL's for some of the 1980's models from the Husqvarna home page, here is a link to their manual look-up page: /images/us/support/download-manuals/

      Again, I hope this helps.

      PS. Iam Not a Husqvarna Representative or Authorized Repair, Just an Experimental Chainsaw Person.
