Alright, we got the big bar / small bar thing handled but why do so many of the 460 660 size saws with the short bars have half wrap handles??? By the way I run 32-34" bars 98% of the time, even for limbing, vine maple and leaning alders. I also like my full wraps, big spikes and short...

Good point, very valid. I have a half wrap that gets more use than the 268-W XP. Do you have any advice for a stihl 056 mag 2 cylinder and piston? mine is no good.

I hope I don't get bit! We just ordered a 272 cylinder and piston for a newer model 61 from baileys.

Yeah, we have pretty steep ground here in western washington, the half wrap worked pretty well 90% of the time but the other 10% was rotten without it (and probably unsafe) when you are trying to fall in a undesired position on steep ground.

Thanks, she was pretty rough when I got her.

Thank you, not a wrap handle fan?

HA! :clap: I just figured out how to put a picture in! I think I did. Sorry about posting twice just trying to figure it out. I am much better with a saw than I am with a computer:dizzy:

:agree2: stick a fork in her she's done. I guess clean, super clean and really super clean are more fitting than like new :monkey:

Here are a couple of pictures of my girls ( husky 268 xp-w and the little stihl stinker 026): Also do you know if anybody has a cylinder and piston for a stihl 056 mag II? I am pretty sure it is a 56mm bore. Mine ate a ring :cry: Thanks

Thanks saw troll (your user name makes me chuckle everytime I see it with the little picture) I think I will try the 8 tooth, I will let you know how it works out. As far as the W that was kind of what I figured. You don't see many 268's with full wrap handles, or at least I don't on the west...

Thank you skippyKtm! It really is a pleasure:clap:

Kennygee, you sound like me, if you figure you are wrong to start with you are never really wrong, right :confused:.

Wow! lots of information quick That did not take any time at all to get husky schooled on the 268 line. Thank you all for taking the time to share what you know. Does anybody know about the W on the black id tag next to the oil fill hole? Or about running an 8 tooth sprocket? I am...

I understood that the husqvarna 268 xp was a professional saw, untill I went to the husky dealer and was told that they never made a 268 xp only a 272xp because the 268 was a homeowner open port version, and the 272 was the pro model with scavenged loop (closed ports). Now here is my problem, I...

I wish it was that easy. I was able to get the 268 sticker on top (says 268 husqvarna) at the local husky dealer but was told that they never made a 268 xp because it was a home owner saw and only the 272 was an xp :confused:. My old cover says 268 xp and also the tag by the oil fill hole says...

Skippy I wanted to thank you again for this link. It is great, I have some old homelite and mcculloch wall hangers that would look great with some new stickers on them. I spent about an hour last night looking and drooling like a kid in a candy store. I will inquire about the husky decals. Have...

Skippyktm, I could not find the husqvarna decals, but I did find decals for a couple of the old homelites. If you think of anything else will you let me know? Thank You

:clap: Thank You, I will sure give it a shot.

I am pretty new on here so I am sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place. I recently stumbled into a husqvarna 268 w- xp with a full wrap handle and had to have it. After buying a new starter and top cover from the husky dealer I am having a hard time finding the decals to keep it in the...
