    Husqvarna 288XP Lite

    What would a brand new Husqvarna 288XP Lite be worth? Serial # is 64001XX, omitted the last two numbers to avoid someone saying I stole it from them. My dad had a habit of buying things and shelving them, forgetting he bought them, or where he put them. After he died, I found this saw cleaning...

    Want to Buy Big CC saw wanted

    Looking for a good 80cc or over saw, doesn't need to be running or beautiful either. I don't mind a project if the bottom end is good. Prefer husky and I don't care how old it is. Might be able to trade also depending on what it is. Thanks!

    288 XP...... let the adventures begin.

    So, as a rule- I was always a Jonsered fan from back in the 80's when I was first introduced to the red saws and bought my first one. Had handled Husqvarna saws, but liked the more square front handle alignment of the Jonsered better, so never saw the need to go down the orange track. All of my...

    Husquavarna 288XP porting

    I’m sure this has been discussed, but I’m new and can’t find answers and would like some help. Does anyone know of any reputable businesses that will port an older saw? It’s time to rebuild my 288XP, so I’d like to have it ported also. Not interested in buying a new saw. Any suggestions? Thanks...

    288xp milling

    I have a 288xp I would like to use for milling. My current dilemma is rather I should just use 36" bar with it, which won't max out my 36" Alaskan. Or if the saw would be able to run a 42" bar which would allow me to use the full 36" of mill. I am worried I will be asking too much of the saw.. I...

    Sold 288 XP UGLY but complete

    I got a 288. It's complete with the muffler but I lost the muffler bolts. Cylinder and piston have scratches. It does turn over. It's ugly as can be but I believe it would make a great project for someone. $100 plus shipping from 99574 gets it.
