Husqvarna Chainsaws

[little possum]

Awesome lookin 2100 Hank.

Will that 372 is slick. I like that muffler mod, you can hardly even tell its been done. Is that a bolt in the decomp?
And how long is the bar?
Thanks

nice saw Hank!

Its a Swede-O-Matic.

Look at the blue circle - On the handle is a screw. When the saw moves enough in the vibration mounts the screw contacts the "trigger" and stops the chain. The metal handle is a hand-guard and a re-set for the brake. You cannot apply the brake using the handle like on a new saw. I posted a scan of the page from the instruction manual in another thread in the last week or so.

Here's the thread --

As far as model years go, I think they made different versions for different markets. I don't know that for sure, but I think its correct and explains the different equipment on these saws.

Great thread. Kudos to all you Husky men. I feel left out....

Thanks for the pictures. I like Orange.

Decomp is plugged ya. Bar on it now is a 28". That's not a muff mod in that pic, that was one of the jungle mufflers that Baileys was selling, don't think they have them anymore.

Heres a pic of the 268XP i used to have, thats when i slapped the brand new 24" B&C on her. I traded her into the shop when i bought my 757 Shindaiwa, im happy but she's still on the used saw rack, pitty i was sure she'd have a home by now

 

[little possum]

Stumpyhusky, what is the set up on the dogs on the 350?

I modified an inside dog off of a jonsered 625 II, same dog as the 268. That stuff is hard to drill. Good eye possum.

 

[little possum]

Yea. I know how it is trying to dog the 350 in. It bout doesnt work.


Love them Huskys.

That muffler is real common on the 371k's I have had 2 with it and seen several others that way. The early ones anyhow....

Here found one on ebay

Warning though it doesn't have any bigger opening that the reg 372 muffler just better place to exhaust..

I have certainly enjoyed this thread and all the contributors!

I don't have any big Husqvarna Saws yet but am really proud of my Dad's saw he gave me. A Practica 44. The only thing missing I felt it should have was a spike. So after a bought with the grinding wheel here it is. It works great! Opened up the exhaust a bit, turned the fuel up and it is my favorite woodlot saw.

After all these years of hard work it still is original and running great! They make good saws, and you are right, the steel in the spike is extremely hardened.

Sorry about not being able yet to get the pictures opened up correctly for you guys.

I don't have a photo of it working wood, so this will have to do.

Started out with a junk pile pick [Paid scrap price.] and got it fixed up for about $65 total. Lucked out and found a used rear handle to get her up and running again. Electrical tape just wasn't cuttin' it.
