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.
Hey bellhopper! I've taken a little Hiatus from TH-cam 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
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
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.
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???
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.
Thanks!
Thank you buddy you rock
Another ripper from the hopper bench! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bellhopper, God Bless and Protect you and your loving family:) I love spending time with you:)
Great saw and a solid build my friend. What size pin sprocket are you using? See ya Saturday my friend. ❤️🌲🪓👊🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing, it’s always interesting to see how you build saws
Thats a neat little saw, did they also come with a old closed port?
No, but you could mount closed port cylinder from Partner 5000 - 5500 or Jonsereds 490 - 590, and get quite a screaming saw.

Nice build Hopper! Thanks for sharing.
I’d love to buy a ported 51 if you ever have another!

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

That’s awesome. One of my favorite saws is the 55. Great size for working.
I need 2 of those built lol
I know that smell I burned 3" of my beard off soldering a water heater under a house once🤣🤣
Why didn't you go with the closed port cylinder, and the pop up piston?
Nicely done. Did u put it in some wood?
Heck yeah! That's killer!
What % silver do you use for the exhaust?

Thanks hopper!
On a Husqvarna 55 can you put a 61 piston and cylinder on it
I won't say you can't but it won't bolt up to stock holes.
