yep 288 is a no brainer.... especially if he is just "giving you"..

Danny,
I had a good looking orig 064 that I sold on here a few months ago right after porting it. I probably shouldnt have sold it but I got in a little selling frenzy there for a bit. My CAD has stabilized and I dont see myself selling or buying any for a while. Ive got 3 or 4 to port so dont need to be adding any more until those are done.

I had a 2100 and love it but someone loved it more so where does the 288 stand
The 288 all there looks like a new jug and piston also he got a 2100 that needs a lot of
Work that goes with the 288 so what your saying is to get it is that right

The 285 is the same basic saw as the 298/2100/2101 but with only 85cc, matter of fact the 298/1100/2100/2101 top end and fuel tank are direct bolt on parts. Biggest difference between them are the 285 lacks the manual oiler, it uses a different style recoil and I believe a different flywheel.
Not quite a 288... ;)

To the OP.......GREAT thread and thanks for sharing. Even for someone who is not all Husky, its hard not to appreciate the time, effort and committment involved to amass such a nice collection. l have met some great people and learnt a lot from the AS membership, this thread is a classic case of forging the right relationships with the right people to better our lives through a common interest of chainsaws. God bless!!

Now for my very best.... this is the 3rd saw that I bought in a package deal from KilliansRedLeo on another site. He posted a thread stating that I had first shot at it.... but wanted to share the eye candy. Boy of boy that thread had a bunch of post by the time I came home and found it. My first post..... "PM sent!":chop: This is a NOS never seen fuel, stock, MINT 268xp. And it is staying that way.... since I have plenty others to play with. Im loving these 2 series Husq saws. Only one more alludes me... I know "where" and "who".... but so far... he is a fan too. It's a hard sell when the feller's a collector too.....Yeah, Im talking about you- Brad!:ices_rofl::rock: Oh if only I could find a mint 288 I would feel my collection is complete..:heart::D

I know where there is a nos 281 still in the box , but cant get it right now , I will have to put up some serious cash to land it plus the owner will use it when his other 281's wear out , he realy does not want to sell it , but I am working on him !!!!!!
