What can you tell me about the Husqvarna 261?

[ncfarmboy]

The gas tank/handle is worth $50 or more on Feebay. I'd spring for it just for parts for my 5 261/262 conversions. I'm down to 5 people just keep wanting one after they run one. Can't add anything it's been said.

Yep what they all said ...if you can clean up the cyl then all you need is a new Meteor..Site sponsor Northwoods Saw (Top of Page) has the best price and very fast and reasonable shipping. Good luck...you'll be happy with that saw.....

Northwood is no longer a sponsor.

i just ran into one of these in a pawn shop the cylinder is screwed would it worth the 80 bucks there asking for it and do the 262 swap??

If the saw is complete and not broken up, I will give you 100.00 for it shipped to Pa, site unseen.

I converted a 261 to a 262 with very little trouble and expense!! The saw is now IMHO the best firewood saw ever made!! If you don't convert it to a 262 you'll regret it for the rest of your natural life!!

Whats involved? Simply split case? Piston sawp is all? Muffler mods simple? Photos? Vids? Much thanks for my next project. Capt. B. Bart
