What's wrong with the Huskys?

The one at the bottom of the picture looks like a newer model.

545 has a bad compression release. Not sure on the other one. I suspect it needs a piston and cylinder but I have a good used one.

The 545 is mag cased and auto tune, the other is clamshell

545 would be a keeper if it was me, take those Poulan pro's and use those as loaner saws.

Well tomorrow is going to be a great day guys! Get to spend the rest of the week at home with the family for the holiday. Haven't seen them in well over a month now. On a another note, I got a ton of saw parts awaiting me...and two more project saws. Main goal for the week is to get the ms361 working again. Will install a used oem carb and new carb kit so I should be back in business.

Don't be hunching and hugging a saw now.

I'll try man, thank!

Where did everyone go? Been super quiet on the forums the last while. Surely someone got a new saw of sorts.

Probably too cold in the shop to work on them.

My shop is heated

 

[s sidewall]

Lucky, we got an oil burning furnace my brother made out of a water heater tank and a shop vac. Puts off a lot of heat.

Steve

Don't worry, ours still has a milk house heater. Gets warm enough to keep the fingers from freezing in a couple hours, but that rarely happens because someone opens up the door and let's all the heat out!

Sounds like at work on the other side of the shop, glad I have a wall between my side and their side, I stay toasty warm, at the farm where I do most of my saw work, stay 20' from the heater or you'll be wearing shorts. That thang gets hot, of course, no insulation, open around the top also.

I've got a 60,000 BTU diesel heater in an insulated garage. Gets up to about 60°F in about 30 mins, and stays there for hours.

60, got to have 75° to be comfortable for me. [emoji6]
