Husqvarna model ?

[paul99]

This popped up on a local selling group can anyone id the model? I'd have half a chance with Stihl but relatively new to Huskys...

Looks like a 181 maybe?

Only other likely one is 266se but the case doesnt look right.

I didn't want to influence any suggestions (or show my lack of husky knowledge) but that was my initial guess it has more than a few similarities with my 281xp.

181 would be my guess

Bingo. 181 case sticks out a little below the cover mount area. 266 is flush.

Inserts in the tank handle give it away. Also, coil wire goes to the right instead of the left, and starter cover is wider.

Thank you all for confirming what I thought. I've taken a punt and committed to buy it and will be picking it up tomorrow morning. I figured it's got to be worth the £50 price tag as spares for my 281 but apparently it runs well (I've heard that before though) perhaps it'll be worth spending some time on - we'll see...

Well that was all a waste of time... the a hole decided to sell it to someone else late last night knowing I'd made plans to collect it this morning

I guess it isn't just the US this happens in... Sorry to hear you missed out on it.

I've had that same d*ckhead sell a saw 15 minutes before I arrived, after I had driven 45 minutes to get there. And he knew I was on my way! It was a good test for my blood pressure medication.

I've never had that happen to me up North. But your mileage may vary...
