Seen this one up for a couple days now, Not a 70s model, but still wish I was closer to pick this one up, be a nice one for to add to the collectionIn the late ‘70’s there’s was a Husqvarna 240SG all metal crankcase, handle, clutch cover. It’s a fantastic chainsaw. The heated handles was awesome. The cutting speed was just right. It had one nut clamping the clutch cover. It’s like a rolls royce to me.

Beautiful saw Doug!That one isn’t too bad, but I have seen plenty of pics of older Huskies where the plastics, particularly the top covers are discoloring, turning a brownish color in many cases, is that from UV Ray damage??
I won’t hike 300 yards to put my saw in the shade for less than 5 minutes, but if I won’t be using my saws for an extended amount of time, I do try to not leave them exposed to intense sun for long periods

This what my 30 year old 266XP looks like, no I’m not a professional faller, and no that’s not the original B&C, but I do try to take care of my tools , and that 266 has provided a lot of heat for the home , campfire wood, and storm damage and yard cleanup over the last 3 decades

Love that saw! I store my saws in a climate controlled room. They get used hard but look nearly new when I clean them up. It makes literally worlds of difference in preserving plastic, fuel line, and most of all, fuel. Storing a saw in a shed where the humidity is high and there are daily 60 degrees temp swings will wear a saw out quicker than a dull chain.That one isn’t too bad, but I have seen plenty of pics of older Huskies where the plastics, particularly the top covers are discoloring, turning a brownish color in many cases, is that from UV Ray damage??

He’s not wrong thoughJust play the game already man
I think a saw that is constantly cleaned will wear one out quicker. A layer of oil and dust is the best preservative.Love that saw! I store my saws in a climate controlled room.

Yeah maybe. There’s plenty of residual oil and saw dust on mine.I think a saw that is constantly cleaned will wear one out quicker. A layer of oil and dust is the best preservative.
