Steve, as far as looking into buying a Husky , Ya can't go wrong with " the workhorse" 372XP . Our crews use them and the MS440-460 up high in bigger timber. *had this original 371xp since new , put a new 372XP OEM cylinder/piston kit along with new crank , seals and bearings . usually run a...

Good evening Steve, A lot of the work we do is 8000-11000 ft. Most of the crews that have the Stihl M-tronic {chip} or the Husky auto-tune saws have problems with them at these higher altitudes. I can't really address with first hand knowledge regarding Stihl saws but The Huskys take some...

No doubt .....not something ya wanna be without, together with a Pulaski or two !

Hey EVO ,I Iive north of you in Taos area. My forestry thinning crew works a lot of P&J country ... a 50cc saw with a sharp chain is what many use until we get into bigger mountain timber . Remember....When re-sharpening your chain make sure you take down the rakers a bit !

This Wildfire began with an approved Forest Service prescribed burn in early April {one of the windiest times of the year in this area }

Northern New Mexico's Hermits Peak fire as of today 5/10/22. photo taken from my driveway in town of Taos.

ChillyB , Enjoyed your rebuild , have done a few 350s myself. The last two I rebuilt with OEM 346XP top ends {easy but I had to lightly grind down flywheel underside , it rubbed against Jug} Also used modified 346xp muffler brackets for more muffler stability, Outstanding lil'Beast. Thanks again !

Thanks Cranman, I have used JB weld with great success also..... repairing holes in old Toyota truck trannys and diffs. The case on this 371xp is magnesium so I think it can work, love these old workhorse saws, gotta try to keep em alive ! Appreciate the feed back !

Greetings All , It's been a while.....given a 1998- 371XP junker , seems to be in line for a rebuild {I revel in the challenge to bring the dead back to life} The crank case has a hole right behind flywheel , while it was running it appears as though the flywheel ground against igniter and some...

Hey 67L36Driver noticed your Avatar ....were you with the 47th Infantry Reg. ? Just curious !

Darnz, that 268 is my old reliable and it goes where my truck and I go....got one several years ago in trade for work, needed some work but in the end it takes on much of the ranch work I do. Be sure to stay away from the cheap "husky" chains {sold at lowes} that have the "nubbed rakes", their...

My go to keep in truck tool box saw and my lil' fence work saw

BTW ...Stillhunter thats a great decoy you've got standing next to your toy !

I hear ya Stillhunter, Ive' always had 22R engines , in low gears they have a nice torquie pull to them . Like you I can just let the lil' beast idle up a hill . I'm a super swamper fan also ...outstanding off road in the muck tires. ...

Nice rides Fellas ! Yeah I have a nice stable of old Yotas 1983 longbed SR5 , 2 -1985 Longbed and regular bed {lil camo} topped off with a 1985 Runner , All of them were junkers needing motors , trannys or major motor repair. I've always run the same package 5;29 gears , centerforce clutch II...

Thankx , that's what the dealer thought. The stock elbow has two slits in it for just a set up

Much appreciated I have the HD filters already I guess I was trying to get more familiar with the different stock set ups the husky 288xp hightops came with. The dealer thought he remembered a 288xp high top model that came out with this set up. All in the learning !

my 288xp "hightop" that I recently got in trade came with this type of air cleaner assembly , Can't seem to find any likeness on any Husky site or at our local dealer. The filter element with saw seem to be the foam washable pre-filter cover type , The little metal v clip attached to the...

I've been an old Yota fan for years, done some nice off-road mods on solid front axle models. Use them for daily drivers , firewood hauling , camping , trailing and hunting. Just wondering if there's others out there ? [on site] Thanks !
