Rebuild them. High reving, good saws.

Very very good saws! I have three. If were mine I'd fix em and use em.

Sell them to me

Post some pics, inquiring minds want to see.

Lots of people on here will be interested in either helping guide you in fixing them up, or buying them off you.

pics?..such a deal show us.

I seen a trade in husky 444 that the skidded ran over, the front handle was bent. Installed a used handle and she ran. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I bought one and sold the other day for some quick profit. I really really did liked it thought. I'm not sure why it isin't as popular as 346xp is.
For sure fix em up!

I have a few 257’s.

257's and 357's are different animals.

I ran a ported 357xp a good bit yesterday & it was just a pleasure to cut with.

My 562 is pretty much my favorite saw to run right now. I've had a ported 2159 and mild 357s but never a ported one. How do they compare with a 20" bar?

My stock 562 & ported 357s' are pretty damn close. The 357s' cut a little faster, but the 562 is so smooth it feels faster. I run 20" on the 562 & 18" on the 357s'.

 

[Huskybill]

Are both saws the 562 & 357 have 325” chain?

Both of mine have 3/8 chain.

Its real close. This 562 is the only stock saw I have & really feel it doesn't need porting.

I kind of knew the answer. Mastermind ported 357 runs about same as Mastermind 562 and Mastermind ported 6100 beats them both. Had a stock 562 and ran with ported 562 until bar was buried then ported took over.

I have a Mastermind 357 & one I did. Love em! But the 562 is mighty impressive for a stock saw. I might get AWOL to port it some day, only live 30 minutes from him.
