Hey all,
Been looking for a 60cc class saw and found a clean late model (all orange top cover, plastic chain break) husqvarna 61 for sale.
Did some reading on the 61 and it seems like a good reliable firewood saw. My question is would a stock 61 have noticable power over my ms260?
My idea is to get a 61 and use it a bit then eventually gather all the parts and do a 272 or 262xp piston, cylinder and carb swap.
I'd like a 266xp but theres not many for sale around my neck of the wood and when they are for sale guys seem to want big bucks for them.
Figured I could build a big bore saw for the same or less money if I start with a 61. And in the mean time I could use the 61 to buck and fell around the farm here.
Any thoughts??
