Husqvarna 435 x-torq

Hello guys and gals im back again to the forum last i was on was in september/october i had a different user name as well i went by stihl250 so i do have a few questions i bought a used husqvarna 435 x-torq from craigslist its a smaller saw but has a great power band also very balanced now when i got the saw it had maybe max 5 hours of use on it looked brand new now my few questions are is this a saw made in sweden im pertty sure its a sweden model and not like the lower model ones that are a poulan with husky plastics ? It has a metal tag where the rest do that says sweden on it and it is a 2013 model my second question is that from examining my saw it has mounts for a felling spike but its none on it now ive read online that a few people had the same issue because husqvarna put them on the 435 on different years so does any one else have a 435 with that issue or can clarify that a little for me? lol my final question is there any one on this forum that uses this saw and can give me any advice on it thoughts/pros/cons runs awesome btw no issues so far so replys and any info guys is greatly appreciated thanks in advanced-Justin

 

Checked one out for a fellow-burner a couple years back. Nice, light, snappy little 40cc saw- one of my favorite sizes. His was Swedish-made. Good buys often can be had on 435s at www-vminnovations-com. Like, around $180 refurbed.
About the dogs, I'd get an IPL, look up the p/n, and see what could be found out there. Should be simple search-process. Good luck.

 

Thanks bud i appreciate the info i actually got ahold of husky and i have new dogs and screws ordered for like 10 bucks lol

 

Any more info guys thanks again

 

Im still not understanding why the mounts would be there but the dogs arnt on certain years of the 435 husky any one else has the same prob or some insight on this im not thinkin its a acessory option maybe they just cheaped out on ceratin 435 years?

 

I have one and love it. I can check on country of manufacture later but it was a refurbished model from VMinnovations. It has the dogs with a 16" bar. I've been super pleased with it but I rarely cut big wood. It doesn't have the grunt of a 50 or 60 cc saw, but it does the job well enough for me. I've been contemplating doing a muffler mod but haven't yet.

 

That's a 435 in my avatar. I like it a lot, not a heck of a lot of torque, likes to rev. Mine has dogs. Get the carb tool or mod the screws to allow adjustment. Many have said they come set lean to meet emissions. Fatten it up a bit and it will run better and last longer.

 

Thanks guys for all the awesome replys mine is a 16 inch bar as well it has the metal tag/badge rivited to the front where the rest of the huskys have em now it dosent say made in sweden it just says sweden and the serial number and 2013 as the model year all on this tag so i am assuming that it is one that was worthy enough to be made in sweden just making sure lol and im pertyy darn sure it was allready tuned befor i got it because it runs amazing low end and top end wise it sings for sure when going through certain woods and i love it it seems to out cut my old stihl ms250 some how but again thanks for helping a fellow newb out lol heres 2 pics of her u can see the tag but not the writing so good but ill get a closeup tomm evening sowe can see for sure if it is a swedish saw which im 98% positive it is thanks guys

 

So with these pics guys can,someone confirm this is a 2013 model and was it made in sweden? And not a rebadged poulan Thanks guys

 

Heres 1 pic

 

Heres the second pic

 

Heres the last pic thanks in advanced guys

 

phone to husqvarna and give them the s/n . they tell you in a second if its real or monkey and what hapend with the spikes , but maybe forget put them on
but as i see the pictures the saw looks oem

 

I actually did call husqvarna and supposidly got a story that they should be on there but i did some investigating online and it said that husky skimped out on a few years of this saw and didnt put em on but still had a mount up to put em on so i assume 2013 was a skimpy year lol for this saw but on the side note i ordered the oem spike and 2 bolts from my local dealer for like 11 bucks so thanks again guys for all the awesome info and help and yes i got the woodstove burnin nice and toasty tonight so no electric heat yah!! Ill update u guys tomm when i call husky again and find out if this saw is a swedish made one or not lol thanks -Justin

 

So the verdict is in lol its a swedish made saw i called husky today and they could hardly give.me any info they said they only send out new parts and stuff like that i gave em my serial number date of manufacture and all they said they looked through there books and said it was either made in u.s or sweden well duh lol so they said my best bet was to contact a local dealer and they might be able to give me more info so called the local dealer and even told him what happened and he was suprised so i also told him that on my metal tag and sticker on rear handle said husqvarna sweden he really didnt know either well to shorten this up some he had a husqvarna trained technicion that works there he just got out of husqvarna school 2 years ago and he said that when he was in school all the husky chainsaws were made in sweden but the riding mowers were assembled in u.s. he said now tho this may have changed but since my chainsaw is a 2013 model he said it is most likely a swedish made saw woohhooo wow sorry for the long story guys but all this to get any info today was insane especially on husqvarnas part they wernt really any help at all lol thanks again guys
