Go to antique shops i know if about 3 shops withing 20 minutes of me i know has some heads and complete axes. Gonna check em out when i get a minute of spare time, right now with the ice were gettin im givin the generator a goin though.

Sounds like a good idea!

@LonestarStihl if you have chainsaws you have to get an axe, they go hand in hand!

No doubt minimum one double bit one single bit. And an 8lb maul

I do have a single but axe. But the doubles are beautiful. And I do plan to get a mail eventually anyways. Kinda in the hole bad this month for money but maybe next

I actually have an older single but axe head somewhere because mine broke and my wife bought a new one.

Oh I wasn't lacking in projects. My wife reminded me I have a push and riding mower to fix too. But what fun is that?!?

I think after a while I'm going to have to find and 041 super to match my collection lol

Collect an 041 in every sub model?

 

[Boomer 87]

Guys I apologize ahead of time for the rant but I hate working on husqvarna saws. I picked a 372xp. I replaced the piston rings, muffler and chain brake handle. Then the throttle came loose from the trigger. I had to pull off the gas tank to re-attach it. Then I found a indention in the fuel line, so I had to pull the tank again to replace the fuel line. I rebuilt the carburetor twice and the saw wouldn't run. I put a new carburetor on it and it runs great now. Now I find out that the ignition switch is bad, so I have to pull the tank again. It's so aggravating. On a stihl all o those things could have been done without removing the tank.

Exactly and yes there is an 041g. I bet it is a doozy to get in good shape. It just seems to be the way I'm going so why get in the way

Wow that sounds rough. Thankfully I haven't had to break open a husky yet but I've been looking at 372xp's as it's on my list of work saws.

I'm sure it's a nice saw to run, I just don't like working on them. I'm going to put it on eBay, I just don't like to sell one with something wrong with it.

Talk to brother about the 372 he wants one, i hear ya, but i gotta say they all have parts of every make thats like WTF guys, what were you thinking here. Its like in the auto field once a day i do a job its like ok im done load up my toolboxes and bounce, just gotta push em aside for a bit and take a breather

 

[Boomer 87]

But i agree, i love my 460 rancher but it is a bite in the rear to work on. The only saw series i can think of thats a pleasure to work on for me is the 3400-4000 countervibes. Not just bc there my #1 brand, but you can literally do just about everything with basic hand tools. There a peach.

The 440 Mag will be pretty easy too, the only gripe I have about those are the rubber intake boots I'm not super fond of them

Seriously tho, are you interested, it started on the second pull and ran great. I just couldn't get it to quit running.
