    Sold Husqvarna 353 early non-EPA

    Would you be interested in selling it as-is or are you deadset on porting it?

    Want to Buy WTB Husky 353

    I saw a new one on EBay for $453, but I'm hoping to find a clean used one. If I was gonna buy new, I'd probably go ahead and get a 545 or 550xp.

    Want to Buy WTB Husky 353

    Wanting to add a 50cc saw to my collection, and I like what I hear about the 353. Dont want to spend the coin on a 545 or 550xp, so I'm hoping to find a clean, low-hours 353. Saw there was a really sweet one that sold for $250 a week or so ago on here. Hate I missed it! Anyways, let me know...

    Which clutch removal tool for Echo CS-590/600?

    Can someone point me in the right direction? Looks like there's a couple different styles for Echo saws and I don't want to order the wrong one. Thanks

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Well, here she is all cleaned up as much as she's gonna be. Chain tensioner fixed, bar straightened, and a new chain. I've got $198 bucks into it as it sits including the new chain tensioner and chain. Think I'm gonna use it for cutting stumps and noodling a crap ton of sweet gum rounds I...

    Teach me about sprockets

    Yeah, I love the saws but Echo parts are ridiculously priced. Definitely a chink in the armor.

    Teach me about sprockets

    Gotcha, I think. Anyone happen to know if the 590 requires the small or large spline? I'm wanting to put a rim sprocket on this thing, but don't want to spend the $65+ on the OEM parts.

    Teach me about sprockets

    As a newbie to CAD, I'm confused about sprockets. I understand the differences and pros/cons between spur and rim types, but I'm wondering if there is some standardization among sprocket sizes? For example, I need to put a new sprocket on a used CS-590 I picked up. It currently has a 3/8...

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Checked compression and pulled the muffler this morning. Still cleaning it up as much is practical--not wanting to spend too much time on it. Ordered a factory bar that was unused off EBay for $22, and I already have a spare chain for it. Will order tensioner and new sprocket later. What's...

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Here's the only pics I've taken so far. Looking it over, it's just really dirty. The only things I've found so far that aren't cosmetic is the little metal chain tensioner piece is broken. There was no way the guy could have properly been tensioning his chain. That, and the bar is ever so...

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Come on man, don't be hatin' on my Echos. I have another 590 I've been really happy with. I don't use a saw for a living, but I think they're a good buy for what I need them for.

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Picked up the saw today.. It is dirty as all get out, but it looks like it will clean up well. Started on the first pull, and nothing is broken. Just the usual scratches and nicks in the plastic from use. The original bar has been replaced with an Oregon bar, as he said they accidentally bent...

    Best Tachometer

    Well, that's definitely reassuring. Sure doesn't seem like it would hold up well, especially the little red button.

    Best Tachometer

    I just bought the same one from Amicks. So far it works great. I liked the fact that it works wireless or wired, and has a 9-volt replaceable battery instead of the button battery in the tiny tach from the same company. I appreciate the fact that it's made in the USA, but honestly for the...

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    The seller ended up being out of town yesterday, but we're supposed to meet up today as long as we don't get iced in this morning. Damn this weather. I promise I'll post pics if/when I get it.

    RPMs for Poulan Pro 222?

    So, I put a new Walbro carb, fuel lines, and filter in my old Poulan 222, and it runs like a champ now. Since I recently got a tach, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the idle and WOT RPM ranges should be on this saw? The owners manual doesn't specify any specific RPM...

    Yeah, I know. Dumb question I reckon... [emoji5]️

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Yeah, so far I'm taking his word for it. Figured I'd check compression and look it over really good if he still has it tomorrow. Really just looks neglected in the photos.

    Echo CS-590 for $175....should I?

    Haha, thanks guys. I can't make it out to meet him until tomorrow, so hopefully he'll still have it when I get off work tomorrow afternoon. If I get it, I'll put up some pics.
