Found some brand new 346XP's. 2017 and 2018 year models. Going out to a couple guys in the US. Two more inbound this week.

This isn't a true you suck as these were my Dad's saws that have been missing since he passed in November.
My uncle thoughtfully squirrelled them away so they wouldn't disappear and I was just not talking to the right people.

The 246 fired on the third pull. The 254 pulls over good, the 242 feels kind of tight but moves. I have no idea how long it's been since it ran, probably more than 10 years.
Hopefully they don't mind the 2200 mile ride home.

This how it looks after I cleaned it up, tag is built June 2017. Came with 2 chains, one at 90%, other new. Fires right up, I need $9.76 worth of parts to have it 100%. Echo 590. Paid $100.

Three-peat...
1x 2017 NIB
2x 2018 NIB
They don't come too cheap, but they are worth every penny.

I suck again. Working for a bloke thinning plantation pines,he admired my 076 super and said he had an old saw he would trade for it back in the shed. I said doubtful,but lets have a look. He went home and came back with this
a good running,clean Stihl contra GS. Trade ensued!

I’ve had 2 Jred, 2166 and 2255. Actually kinda regret getting rid of both, good running saws.

Added another Homelite saw to my collection with this 955 I picked up for for $100.
Looks like it's hardly been used with a solid 170 psi of compression and all the rubber AV mounts are in good shape.

Yep, YOU SUCK!!!!

 

[edisto]

I was feeling pretty good about paying $12.50 for this 3400 (plus a tensioner, fuel lines, elbow grease and a chain) until I saw the Contra and the 955...



I got the FS 120 for free and put an FS 250 P&C on it.

 

[smcrow]

Today’s grab, picked it up cheap like $25 cheap!!! Stihl 045 super, replaces fuel line, fuel filter and rebuilt carb and she runs!!! I would say i did ok!!!

Well 2nd post, long time lurker. I do a lot of tree work on the side and an old farmer I cut firewood for gave me two saws. I don't say no to free even though I'm a Stihl guy.

1st he gave me a husky 298xp. All it needed was a carb rebuild. It's awesome. Uses a lot of gas though.

He also gave me a 281xp that sat under his East lean to of his barn for 15 years, essentially exposed to everything. It was nasty. bar is pooched and the chain is rust welded if that says anything.

I cleaned it up and squirted fuel in the carb and it fired up on the 2nd pull after I cleaned the rust off the bits that rotate by the ignition coil. It started pulling old fuel and stayed running. I shut it off fast, drained it and refueled with fresh and off to the races.

I'm excited too add a 99cc and 81cc saw to the stable.

 

[TurboA2]

I know I suck. But what do I need to know about these huskys?
