nice shape Bob,I came across a 2100se for 25 bucks ,needed fuel line and carb rebuild
collecting any spare parts available due to scarcity.Imshipping 2 090s to Indianna
the 2 in nice shape you looked at Keith

Will do. The issue with the L77's is pistons and cylinders for them are very hard to find. Not so with the more common L65's. On rare occasions, a brand new L77 shows up on ebay at an astronomical price, and advertised as a rare, collector's saw. But I'm not that kind of collector due to budget restraints.

they are the points version of the 480 cd

Nice finds on those Husqy's . So let me tell you my story about the 298 ... The seller didn't ship the right saw to me and it took a big time to get mine . I knew it was missing a muffler so I bought a 2101 xp for parts wich is in great shape but has a dead P/C . Today the 298 arrived and when I took a look in that exhaust port I saw the misery : same as 2101

I think I'll have to replace bearings and find a cylinder for these saw will take probably a big time

Should you decide to part with a 77 someday please look me up. The only ones I find around here are either needing full rebuilds or are original saws priced too high to risk buying from an unknown seller.

the 480 cd should be an easier find L77 with capacitor discharge ignition

I have a few Huskies on the go at the moment. Seem to have come across a range of nice saws recently and have a few 372 rebuilders on the go at the moment as well. The Husqvarna's respond well to elbow grease and targeted repainting if restoring saws is your gig I reckon.

(Not Mine) ... Does anyone have "input" on the 272...... For better or worse, advantage, disadvantage. (There's one for sale at the local shop). Thank You!

Pros: Easy to work on, lots of parts available, good solid saw.
Cons: None except they aren't as powerful as a 372.

272 is a great saw that is both powerful, reliable and easy to work on. Anti Vibe is not as good as the 372 but a good 272 will dependably put wood on the fire for many years with minimum fuss. While the 372 is a better saw in most ways - many people have a real soft spot for the 272 and it is one of the great saws of the era and straddles the move from old school simple prograde saws to the move into what we see a modern saw to be with spring mount antivibe etc.

Last incarnation of a chassis that started in 1978 with the WhiteTop 61 and then 266, to 268. Would have to be one of the most prolific crankcases in chainsawdom and with a quality Mahle cyclinder is all class in a role your sleeves up and get the job done kind of way. If its the one in the picture - that's as clean as I have seen and I would personally pay a lot for that saw.

new poster and follower to this husky thread. very excited to learn and share. I wanted to get into chainsaw milling years ago and was told by someone i respected to get a 3120. found a 20 yr old one still throwing chips and ive been all husky since then. i got a 455 rancher for cutting up and scrounging firewood and use the 3120 for noodling, milling, or when bucking up something above 36" dia. husky service is disappearing in my area so im not happy about it but no plans to switch teams.

. 3120 w 36" bar in walnut.

. 3120 w 60" cannon super in ash

3120

455 scrounging a 36" red oak burl butt

oh yeah

I have a really nice looking husqvarna 365 x-torq. The cylinder and piston look great but the saw is turns over very hard like bad bearings. Does anyone know if this saw takes 6202 bearings?
Thanks

Also will a 371k topend fit a 371xp?

New poster to the thread. Got a used 576xp a couple months ago. Just got a brand new 445 yesterday. Got an extra b&c, 3 quarts of the husky premix gas to extend the warranty to 4 years. And they threw in a hat with the deal. I bought it with a 16" bar instead of the 18 though, since I have a 20/24 for the 576. Figured I could use a smaller bar and if I need a bigger bar I'll stop playin around and break out the 576. My gf's 435 has a 16 on it and I love that saw but it bogs a little in hardwood & thats what I cut mostly so I figured a 16 with a little more power would be perfect. I picked up the 543xp and was prepared to drop the coin but it felt heavier even though the specs say its lighter. Didn't seem like it was worth another $180. The 445 was on sale for $309 & the 543xp was on sale for $479

 

[woodchip rookie]

I fired up the 445 & the 576 today. Had some noodling to do. Wanted to test the 445 and the new full chisel 20" on the 576. The 445 wasnt very impressive when noodling but crosscuts great. The 576 is a monster with a 20 on it. Makes me want a 395 with a 20/24.

The 543xp in my experience was a much better performing saw than the 445 but at that price point they are to much. You can pick up a lightly used redmax gz4500 for 200 and get the same performance, both saws have a similar cylinder by the 543 cylinder has an offset exhaust port, centered intake port, no carburator inpulse port. The 543xp is actually a zenoah gz4300.
