Husky 262

[dancan]

If thats the one I see on kijiji its pretty rough lookin and I see the throttle lock out spring is broke or something. If I was closer I would go look at it cause if it still has decent compression it probably worth it. But seeing as though I am 2 hours away and it looks very "Well Used" I decided not too.

I've been noticing alot of older saws popping up for sale, they seem to be all around paper mill areas ,do you think a bunch of people are upgrading thier equipment all at once ?

I think the 262 is a great saw and parts our easy to find . I have allot of parts that you can inter Chang on the husky platform . if it is in great shape ?200 is a okay deal but you do not know until you get to run it .see if the oil er is leaking . the line,s get hard and they crack or but it is a good old saw for it,s age I do think you can,t go wrong.

I dont know for sure about the paper mill thing but I do know that when ever I see a saw on there and then come on here you have always either posted a question about it or have bought it before i could get there.

Mainly that 034 super in prospect last febuary. Dont blame you for buying it, But that guy was an AZZ I called him on the weekend and then on the night I went to halifax and said I'd be there at 4 the next day. He's like yup its yours. Got out of Toyota training in burnside at 3 and called him hes like ya i sold it, So I was like WTF he goes well i never knew if your were ciming or not. I called you last night!! SLAMM:censored::censored:

Nope, the people that worked in these mills are being laid off and the support people who supply the wood are not working.....thus saws for sale out of desperation. I lost my job last December and my coworkers are losing their jobs June first when the mill closes permanently. Welcome to America.

Never heard of that one! :jawdrop:



...but would be typical of Steve - he likes to have fun on my "expence".....:biggrinbounce2:


Sorry about the 262 - I thought that issue was settled......:censored:

I have 2 262xp's, they are wonderful saws. Ran one most of the day in 3 foot diameter wattles and it just rips. I leave my 357xp at home most days!
