Husky 141
Hey, Squid! .... this is just me talking, but I understand the 141 is made by Poulan, which gives them a bit less value than a full-blooded husky. That said, I hear people say that they get the job done well. I personally have detemined that I'd like to own one for firewood purposes, but I don't think that I would buy a non-running one to fix up. They are not that expensive to begin with, and finding parts would probably eat up any savings you'd gained from buying a compromised saw. Also, I'm not seeing used jugs anywhere... I didn't try the same thing with the 55 (which I really like) because I didn't see used jugs and the new ones are pricey.
I think I've decided that if I'm going to go spend the time and money to fix them up, they'd better have some pizzaz, not to mention a decent pool of used parts! (e.g. 288xp, Stihl 051, etc)
