Its my first post, hope yall enjoy. Ok so it all started with hurricane Sandy. A huge red oak fell on my buddies moms house. So im up there heplin my buddy cut and split this monster up when he says " hey do you know anything about chain saws" i say " na" as i just finished bucking this beast with my 360 (Stihl fan btw). He says "well we have a bunch of my dads old saws that are junk and mom want to give them to someone who will appreciate them." So he takes me in the garage and there is a PILE of faded wooped Husqvarnas. I couldnt believe it. Says to me "u want em", "um, yep i want em". So fare i got 9 of them and he says there are about 15 total. When i figure out how to post pics ill put some up. Im not really a husky fan but they are coming along pretty good. Here is the list, I got two 268xp's, 272xp, 357xp, 61, 352, 261, 257 and a 55 rancher. Got one 268 gonig the 272, 257, 55 and the 352 all going. And waiting on parts for the others. The 268 i got going freaking rocks so does the 272 but for some reason the 268 just screams. Sorry for the book. Hope yall enjoy.

There never was a 352, I assume you mean 353?

Welcome anyway! :cheers:
 
I dont have a clue. But he does have a very cherry 394xp that he complains about alot due to weight. Im gonna offer him 2 of these smaller saws for that beast. He cant even start that thing and when he does get it started he, well kinda likes to use it like a roter tiller if u know what i mean. Good guy just more of an indoors type.
 
WOW. If you weren't a Husky fan before... I believe you have some saws there that are really going to open your eyes. :clap: Welcome to the enlightened side of Husqvarna.:cheers:

My experience as well. Most of the guys here will tell you that you always have to have the biggest baddest version. I have had a very strong 268 or two around here. I also quite enjoy my 48mm small-bore 045AV and 029 Supers. Troll will be along shortly to tell you what a turd the 268 is, especially if it is the "dreaded" open port version (which has some of the nicest cylinder casting -Gillardoni- I have ever seen). Ignore him. Enjoy your saws for what they are and have fun tinkering. Welcome to the madness.
 
Since these saws were his fathers,it would be a nice gesture on your part to return one of the running saws to him.

Welcome to the madness err, forum! About time you posted since you joined back a ways! Nice first post! Looks like you'll fit in well here!

Nice score on the saws! Sounds like your buddy could use a few tips on running saws, know anyone that could help him out? :hmm3grin2orange: Was his dad a logger? Sounds like most of the saws just needed some TLC!

Keep your chain sharp and out of your leg!
 
That is a score of a lifetime. A truckload of saws for FREE!

You are in the right place if you like chainsaws. Since you are new here I'll explain some of the rules:

1. No pictures, it didn't happen. We like pictures here
2. When you score a saw or truckload of saws YOU SUCK!

Welcome to the board and CAD.

Bob
