Last year I bought a stack of Earthquake 3814's. kept a couple, gave each of my brothers one and hooked up my bro's neighbor with a couple. He's got the CAD fairly bad too.
Bro's neighbor (John) has a Husqvarna 372xp that apparently has a bad P&C. He had it checked out and was quoted about $350 to repair it. That was too much for him so its been sitting for years. Sounds like a fair price to me to put it back in service. Anyway, he recently offered to give me the 372 with the only condition being that he can use it once or twice a year maybe. Actually he mentioned that he hasn't needed a saw over 50cc in two years or so.
Now, the meat and potatoes part: what's it worth? I know a pics worth a thousand words, but I ain't got a pic yet... What should I be looking for? What differentiates the 372's? I know there have been several versions. Some better than others. The current 372 having little if anything in common with the meaner versions. Is it down to serial #?
I'd feel better buying it outright, even if I did decide to loan it back to him (golden chainsaw rule violation?) Also, if you just want to tell me how dumb I am to consider this, please feel free.
Will all 372 P&C interchange? Is there a solid aftermarket kit or stick with OEM (assuming its grenaded and won't clean up)?
Caveat, I have no real need for yet another project saw. It would likely as not sit under my bench till at least next year.
