    Question:
    When did Husqvarna start making the T435 in China, I just ordered one and sent it back to the dealer because it was Made in China. I am very disappointed in Husqvarna asking premium price for Made in China chainsaw

      The saw that we ordered was brand new in box from Husqvarna never opened, and it said Made in China. then we contacted Husqvarna  themselves and gave them the serial number off of name plate on saw and they confirmed this saw is Made in China.  The body of the saw did not say Made in China, but the saw is made in China.  As we have said before we do not know when they transfered to China this is a 2014 model.  Also for example the 576xp professional chainsaw comes with a Zama carburator on it, guess what that is a Chinese Carburator, all Zama carburators are made in China so if you come across a saw with a Zama, it will be stamped Made in CHina.  Also, if you go to Lowes and buy a Husqvarna 450 the box will state on the outside assembled in USA, yet it has a Chinese Carburator on it also. Sorry to hurt peoples feelings Husqvarna is making the T435 chainsaw in China.

      thank you for the response.  I don't think anyone has hurt feelings. I know I don't. I am aware of certain parts that are made in china.

      virtually every manufacturer contracts with suppliers or outside sources to build certain components.  I am acutely aware that the CRV's Husqvarna installs on the saws are made in china.  these valves stick open which will not allow the saw to start because the mixture must compress in order to fire. I suffered thru a long 2 day diagnostic nitemare with a 576XP G right out of the box brand new that couldn't be started because of the CRV sticking open.  then, the replacement CRV did the same after 2 test runs.  instead of plugging the jug, I slipped an old fuel injector O-ring over the push button and let it fall between the topcap and button to act as a limiter which retracts the open valve enough to prevent it from getting stuck while starting the saw.
