Picked up this Husky 50 literally for free. It was in 100 pieces, in a box with random other Husky parts. Spent the last few months tinkering and putting things back together. Also utilized the jug for my first real porting attempt.. Didnt go wild, just widened the intake and exhaust ports and cleaned up the transfers. Spent more time smoothing out the surfaces, removing cast Mark's and polishing the daylights out of everything.. Went through quite a few dremel stones, and spent countless hours with needle files and fine grit sandpaper. Kept timing the same, removed base gasket, removed muffler baffle and added 2 more forward spacing slots on the left side of muffler. $12 for a carb kit, $2 for a plug and a few hours porting and tuning has turned this into a nasty little machine. Sounds wicked too!!!!!

Good job on the reassembly! I had a black top Husky 50 as well. Great little saws.
 
Something makes me think it doesn't have that much time on it.

Dang that's dirty lol.
What's up with the dawg, did you buy it that way. I know guys use a smooth dawg like that for racing, but I've seen them on some older saws that I don't think we're raced.
 
Pretty common around here to just have the bumper, or nothing at all. I have 25 saws in the shop, not a dawg to be found other than on my clone 660.
That 262 isn't a local saw but the timber where it came from is simar. Spruce/Pine/Fir pulp and stud wood. Not much heavy bark to deal with and far from big trees. Not big bar country either. I have 2 266's and a 630 that all came to me with 16's and a bumper.
Dad regarded dawgs as completely useless back home, and bumpers just made for less useable bar; east coast pulpwood production is all about limbing efficiency, there are still some new ones from his 254's hanging on the wall of his shop. He always ran a 15" bar, and ended up downsizing to a 242 and never looked back.

Thanks for the lesson, always wondered:cheers:.
Totally get the limbing, don't touch them much on the small saws. I like the big dawgs for felling as well as flush cutting, especially with a large root flare.
I've seen some large saws that guys pull them when they are running a mill, saw an old 820 jred with those bumpers on it, not sure what that was about.
 
About a month ago I found an add for a blown up 562xp. I've wanted one for awhile and me being me I wanted a blown up saw so I can build myself one.

Saw is all there, needs bearings and a top end.its a 2014 model with an el48 carb and 6 screw cases. Was happy to score it..

Told the guy I'd take that saw and then he says "I have one more you may want"

Pulls out a minty 257 with little to no use on it.

The 257 came with a factory case and the price was right so I grabbed that to. I've run it a bit here on the farm and it runs like brand new. Wss a good score for sure!!
 
Another 1125 followed me home...

The 18" RSN Stihl bar was worth the $25 asking price. Something landed on the wrap which I discarded before snapping this. It pulled the starter side AV out too, but it's complete and has a good piston and cylinder. Likely a new fuel system and some TLC will get this baby back cutting. This was a new shop find, I love all of the sources for builders I'm accumulating.
 
Hello! New user here...
Got this bare chainsaw from a friend of mine for free can ANYBODY tell me ANYTHING about it because there is nothing on the chainsaw with which i can identify it
I need to know what brand and model it is so i can find parts for it locally or online (rough estimate of the production year would be nice). There is at least 1 person in this thread/forum that knows this saw.
Sorry in advance if this doesn't belong here.
Thanks in advance for any information.
If you need more pics please let me know.received_1185758138217399.jpeg received_1185758158217397.jpeg received_1185758174884062.jpeg received_1185758724884007.jpeg
 
Looked at a pretty clean Echo 660EVL at the pawn shop today.
It fired right up and had a new looking Echo/Oregon 20" Power Match bar and new looking chain. And it seemed nearly cheap enough at $150.

I was thinkin about buying it until I turned it upside down and it leaked gas on my shoe..
 
Picked these up this weekend along with a husqvarna blower on trade for an old mower. Guy said neither would crank. Said carb needing cleaning on 655 and the other didn’t have a spark. The 655 looks like it’s in excellent shape. Any insight on the value of either of these two saws in good operational order?
