As a small town shop, I am not a Husqvarna dealer, nor Stihl.
But when I get a lower end Husqvarna, I get parts from my Poulan parts
dist., using the Husq. part numbers, or Poulan part numbers.
The parts are interchangeable/the same..............
Any assumption otherwise is kind of silly.
The Husq 136 part # for the crank is 530 029 794
The Poulan 2775 is too, as well as many others, some pp models, if that makes it easier........
No malice, just reality.......

for very light use the 136 will be ok. they are definately better than any other $hit saw on the market. for someone as passionate about saws as yourself i think you should have gone with a 340 or similar
the 136 breaks down for 2 reasons:
1. The user is retarded and f:censored:s everything up
2. Its time is up
The parts are not ment for logjevity, but to keep it going for 10 years in the hands of someone who will only use it 10 hours a year. If you use it to cut a cord a week your will wear it out pretty quick

I wonder how many people on this site who are not proffesionals or even how many proffesionals have ever worn out a NEW saw? (No malfunction or similar.) How long did it take? How much wood did they cut with it before they died an honorful death on the scrap heap?
Who knows?!?

I didn't know that! I am sorry if I insulted you in any way! For me it is just interesting to get valid info.
Thank you very much!

That doesn't sound to bad like 100hrs of life. How much wood can you cut in that time? How much life in a prof. saw?
I would

to have a Makita 6401 but for my approx. 5 cord/year it ain't worth it.

Thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated.
I didn't buy this saw for pro use, all I need it for is to cut up logs for burning, I have access to a lot of free scots pine and silver birch that is generally in 6ft lengths. I used to only take really small stuff, ie 6" diameter because thats all I could fit on my table saw, when I got offered the bigger stuff for free I decided it was time to get a chainsaw. Personally I would rather buy a known make like Husky or Stihl, basically because I know they work, thats why the pro's use them. I could have bought a plastic built one brand new for not a lot more money, but plastic being plastic, it breaks easy. I got the chance of the 136 at a reasonable price, it was all metal casings, adjustable carb, and came with a new chain and bar and original booklet, all in pretty good nick. I seriously don't expect it to perform as well as the pro end of the market, that's not what it's designed for, it's designed for home use. All being said it does what it' meant to do, and as long as I look after it, keep the chain sharp and oiled, and don't expect too much of it then it should last a while. I only envisage cutting up maybe 3 ton of logs a year (dont know what that is in cords, perhaps someone can explain that to me) It has cut through everything I have given it so far, well apart from after I hit the ground with it, but that was my fault, and after a quick sharpen it was fine again. As for wanting more chainsaws..............I already do, but just don't have the pennies at the moment, I have a large house with a huge heating bill and two young kids eating me out of house and home, hence the reason for wanting the free firewood. Thanks again for your answers and lively debate, it's pretty clear you have a lot of knowleable guys on here, I will be back with lots more questions.
cheers

That's the 36 though, does the 136 use the same crank/piston? What about the 235? Neighbor "saw" my 346XP in action and is now looking at Husky's instead of Craftsman lol. I was kinda steering him toward the Echo cs-400's on Ebay, but now looking at the MS180 and the 235. Is the 235 an "upgrade" for the 136 like the 450 was for the 350? (In other words a true downgrade instead)
I have had a 136 for over 10 years, and love it. It's a cheap little saw perfect for limbing or small work, and if you don't push it, it will last a pretty long time. The only problem that I had was not replacing the muffler correctly, and the exhaust gas melted the top of the oil tank. A little JB Weld and I was back running- complete brain fart on my end; not a flaw of the saw.

I am willing to compromise.......
The Poulan 2175/2775s are Green Husqvarnas.
But what about the Husqvarna 23, is that one of Husqvarna's finest?
A guy on E-bay says it is a pro "arborist's" saw.

Fish, would you say that maybe the green Husqvarna's are not ripe? Does that Husqvarna 23 have a chrome cylinder?

Not ripe.. I love it!!!
Could it be possible that the red ones have fruit flies?
