So after solving the starter cord knot interference problem, and the carb problem, that left the missing chainbrake issue. Fortunately I had a spare 55R carcass with a donor brake, so I set to work on what I thought would be a simple parts swap. Took the 55R brake apart and found one arm of the...

So I had a 32” diameter maple to cut down and buck up. The biggest saw I currently have operable is my 359 with ported muffler, but it had an 18” bar with full comp chain. I know this probably runs against conventional wisdom, but I decided to try an Archer 24” bar and full skip chain. Ran that...

How do they compare? If you had all 3 in about the same shape and wanted to get rid of one, which one?

I hate to say this, but after just having another 55R follow me home, I think I have too many "kinda" duplicate saws, so I'm thinking of selling either my Stihl 028 WB or one of my Husqvarna 55's. So thoughts, and not just out of general brand loyalty? If I sold the WB, I'd still have an 028...

Not that I needed any more saws of any make and model...but I stopped in at a barn sale today and back in the corner found a Stihl 028 wb and a Stihl 028 av Super for $10 each. I wasn't looking for more saws/work but seemed to have decent compression and I figured even just the 20" bar on the...

I’ve read many times that the 154 muffler is really restrictive. It looks like one off a 55 will fit...if so does it flow any better?

Last Spring I picked up three Husky 55 carcasses missing various parts. Today for some reason I decided to poke around in them to see if I can maybe make a good one out of them. First one I looked at was missing the muffler, so it was easy to grab a flashlight and see the piston was scored. Took...

Just bought another saw....another Husky 257 intact and running good...for $95

I’m a novice so please educate me...lately I’ve looked at several used Huskys including a 154, 257 and 61 that all had missing chain brake handles and other associated parts. Did they tend to break off a lot, not work well, or wtf?? I prefer to have a chain brake, and it’s not cheap to build...

Recently bought a Husky 154SE, and the starter cord didn’t want to retract well. Found that it would retract as soon as I started to loosen up the recoil housing bolts, and figured out that the knot on the cord was rubbing on the starter pawls, but couldn’t figure out how to solve the problem...

Recently bought a 257 and a 66, tomorrow looking forward to cutting some wood for the first time with the 257, and picking up the 66 at the auction house. Once I get the 66 home and check the compression, I’ll decide where to go from there...know for sure it needs a new clutch cover, but...
