Sold 026 by Moody

[troylee]

This saw was made for the Terry Landrum benefit. Watson provided the AM cylinder for Moody to port. I was unable to find the write up on this saw, but there is one floating around. I have put about 10 tanks of fuel thru it, and it runs great. The only reason it is for sale, is my desire to have a 550xp, and the fact that my Snellorized Husky 55 has won my heart over to Husqvarna.
Saw is a early model as it has a front mounted chain adjustment, has a 10 tank old 18" Sugi Hara bar, and chain is an afternoon old.

Asking 350 plus shipping to lower 48

overpriced or no interest?

 

[troylee]

Bar is 18" 3/8 .050

That's a give-away price, someone aught to jump on it!!!!!!!
I'm in the same boat as you, Huskeevarnee

As it was part of the Landrum benefit, Watsonr and Moody made concessions towards it's building, and I am just passing it on.

I thought I recognized that saw... Moody and I originally put that saw together in my shop before it got a sugi bar and port job. Great saw even stock!

To tell the truth I had about 3 of those 024/026's floating in the shop and that was the best of all the crankcases. SO... The crankcase is from a 024super (same crank as 026). The other 026 crankcases had some nasty chain rash. Thus the front tensioner. Seems like I remember putting a wabro 194t carb in that saw too, might be a 22b/c but it's a fully adjustable carb either way. Also due to the 024super crankcase there was no hole for an adjustable oiler. However, the non-adjustable oilers are better IMHO. They pump just as much oil as an adjustable one turned up high. Also the metal worm gear on the oiler doesn't strip out like the ones on an adjusable oiler. Less to repair in the future and just extra info for prospective buyers.

You started a write up on the AM cylinder, and Moody finished it up with this saws build, any way you could post it?

It was more of a compairison of different AM cylinders thread that ended in this 026 getting ported.

Potential buyers: understand that we put the higher end Hyway kit on this saw.

I will take it. My cousin has been looking for a 026/260. Bet this will make him smile!

 

[troylee]

Yes it will. I will get things packaged up and get the shipping quote.

Good choice. I know guys find these cheap once and a while, but to have a ported one with a $80 bar and chain combo on it. Very good deal. Especially when the port work usually runs over 2 bills!

I think you could put that bar on a wild thing and make it look appealing. This just happens to be a great saw to boot.

 

[troylee]

It really wouldn't have hurt my feelings if this saw hadn't sold. I actually wish I was packing up the Makita.

Good to see that saw is going to Maine. Russ

The problem is the wild thing would drag down the appeal overall...

You can send the smurf my way...

There's always stickers.....you can add horsepower, bling and chick appeal with the right sticker!
