272xp crankcase????

[rickyrooster]

While trolling thru ebay earlier,I noticed a seller has a listing for new aftermarket husqvarna 272 crankcases. Ive also seen that he had sold 5 of these. Has any member here bought one and are they any good. The paint looks like crap but Im talking about how they are machined. Ive got a parts saw and a lot of nos oem parts and want to put together a good looking saw. The crankcase Ive got has real bad pitting and Im not going to use it. new oem crankcases arent as common as thet use to be. Just wandering if this would be a good move or if I should wait for a OEM. Rick!

Never seen the aftermarket case. Any later 61 268 or 272 case should work and easy to find cheap.

Any late model 268, 61 case (single coil) will work. Also 630,670 Jred I think.
