I only found Chinese for $ 2.5
That's about all we get here man is china made
Unless it's a us made pure billet aluminum 50.00usd version of course.
The china one's worked for a Lombardini diesal engine
I have that would break every handle I had on it.

I put Stihl Elasto-start handles/cords on almost all my saws that didn't have them. Even my 372 has a Stihl elasto-start...wayyyy more comfortable that way.
I had been looking for a 266 for at least a year and a half before I found that 266XP. I figured eventually I’d find a nice one and boy did I. It’s a strong runner, I could run it as-is but I’m gonna go through it anyway. It’ll be in the rotation for many years to come.
I've never sold any of my 2 series and have had many of them since the 80s/90s
A ported 266 is my favorite all around saw.

it looks like there are too many of them ;-)
Nah
I sold all the saws I didn't use anymore
I'm keeping all my 2 series and 371/372 saws and parts
Many parts are too hard to find now.
I bought this pile of 2 series a couple years ago
When they do my knee replacement
And I'm off work I'll build them.
Quite the assortment you have there. I’ve already got my eye on another 266 it’s a SE with a full wrap. And I just so happen to have a really nice 268 top end lying around.
yo S_r like that saw workbench! would make D. Proenneke proud!!
the lathe says a lot about you!! of course, so does the clean shop! nice set up....
hi PP - more than enuff for my needs! lol
it is! u r right. but i guess, even eventually... i will get tossed out, too!!!
got my lil hammer project half-a**'d together, but then ran across TNN hickory handles. their tech told me what was wrong with my project, so i wham, bam... thank you! and knocked the head back off. cut a wood wdge slot in handle end, modded up the wedge, lubed it all (wood) with Titebond glue... and wham/bamm'd that in... trimmed and set it all with a steel wedge. couple days later worked on the handle end missing piece. wood filler all but dry mud. but wet enuff err moist... to smear in place. and some touch ups next day. its last 'hurrah!' stain test says wood filler will look good stained along with the hickory! all that has gone well...
and some artsie/tartsie art n paint planned now for the hammer head.

Thanks! I think I showed a picture of the whole bench elsewhere in this thread, but basically a rolling bench out scrap wood or the punkier logs that were out in my log pile. I've got a vise and chain spinner/breaker on it.yo S_r like that saw workbench! would make D. Proenneke proud!!
I'm a bit OCD about keeping the shop clean. I also enjoy running the lathe or working on saws...it's to me what fishing is to most other people...just a relaxing activity.
Your hammer is coming around. I really like being able to recycle or refresh an old tool into something useful again.

Gone fishing
Whats the name of the cat?
Buy all you can find
I used to get builder's or running 2 series for 50.00
Usually 3-450.00 for a runner now.
I have several ported 266/268/272 saws
And they run neck and neck
With 24" bar's in hardwood.
I got this 97 low hour 268 off a guy in florida
He was selling it on o pe
Luckily my brother happened to live near him
And picked it up for me.
Because that guy eventually ripped off several members buying saws from him online.
Strangely he took far less money from my brother than I agreed to for it.
I had zoo city saws port a closed port 268 for it
I just haven't put it on yet.
