Man you should see my garage, ill take the 440 either way, i can have money moved around in a couple days, you PM me when you decide on the JD or no JD, or if you know of something else you want i have alot of bartering material.

Patience isn't one of my strong suits either lol. Don't worry about rushing though if you are serious I will hold it for you. I was thinking you'd need a month or so. If it takes more than a couple days don't worry. I will clean her up a little and get your pictures. I'll even send you a video of her laying teeth in some wood...giggity.

There is a husky 440 and stihl 210 that I worked on for a guy and got running again. He actually is the one I bought the countervibes from as well. The other husky is a 450 rancher and was my first chainsaw so I have a hard time letting go.

I haven't actually sold a saw yet because I have a hard time letting go lol. The only reason I'm letting go of the 440 is for the 046. Even then it isn't easy lol.

But I am a stihl fan through and through. Once I get my 660 and 046 I want to start collecting older stihl

I just got my Christmas bonus so i have it i just aint cashed it yet. So consider it sold well work out the rest of the deal later.

I wish I wish for a minty 372XP with a high top air filter. I've been slowly falling in a husky jonsered trap

 

[Boomer 87]

I understand i have 70 chainsaws for that exact reason

 

[astnmacgto]

I was gonna spend mine on porting tools. Instead I put it in the bank, $#%! making adult decisions and being responsible.

It's yours then sir. I'll start looking for a box tomorrow for it and clean it. If I'm awake enough tonight I'll go ahead and pull the muffler and get some pictures. I've done a couple of cuts and she is realllll fun. Never ran anything like it before. I can say the same for the 660 but they are on different playing fields so I don't compare

I've kinda fallen in love with the Jonsered 2166, 2172, & 2188

Don't follow the orange rabbit lol

I like stihl and we even have a dealer in town. But I think if I was going to buy a new saw, it would be a husky. Idk I've run stihls but never actually ran a husky for any amount of time

I've got a husky 350 that came from the junkyard with a scored piston. I've been slowly rebuilding it and I'm giving it "the treatment" and I'm hoping to make a fun quick cutting firewood saw.

I like them both but the 450 is the only husky I've run. Husky by what I've been told has a few advances over stihl but meh. And I only have a stihl dealer in town now. Used to have both

There's a mastermind 2153 for sale on the other forum

Well my stihl dealer in town is kinda meh. The parts lady rocks, but aside from that it's basically just another way for the Case dealer it's a part of to make money. It's not really a saw shop as it is just extra revenue. There is a husky/ stihl dealer about 45 min away from me that has been around since the earth was flat. The guys there know what they are doing and I would absolutely buy new from them.

Isn't that the same as a 353 husky? Which by the way happens to be what piston is going in my 350

Yeh I'd definitely go to those guys then. Sucks for the drive but oh well. I wouldn't mind a 70cc husky to play with. I've quickly become a fan of the 70cc range after handling the 440. I feel it's a good weight to power ratio

I believe that's correct but I'm not 100%

 

[Kensie1988]

I wouldn't mind a 372xp but I like the Red better than the orange, there is just something about it, that's why I wouldn't mind a 2166 which I think is the same as the 372XP

I would take a 372xp if someone offered it to me lol. Maybe once I get settled in more I can hunt a deal on one to have a husky
