So what is the amount you would pay for a used oem 372xt in running condition above a total aftermarket kit saw. I would give a $100 more for the used oem, over aftermarket saw just for the crank and case quality. But that's just me and all opinions are welcome.
HL supply has a 372 kit shipped to me for $270.63. I have purchased several times from them without problems and received fast shipping.
Now for my test. Purchased this close to complete running 2014 372xt saw for $312, have purchased them as cheap as $125, but this saw could be put into service for under $10 right now. I will begin with a vacuum check of case and seals (hope it's good,or more money), remove cylinder and replace piston rings (Caber), replace fuel, impulse and filter, check tank vent, check or replace crank bearings, gaskets, re-vacuum check when assembled. If crank case bearings need to be replaced will use SKF. Will be trying to stay all oem, hoping to keep costs below $370, if aftermarket parts are used it will be noted. Know I could, have rings, bearings, lines and spare parts in my stash. But that would void my test, any parts needed will be shown and cost added into total cost. Wish me luck, trying to put my money where my mouth is.
