Long time lurker here thank I’m advance. This site has already answered tons of questions for me in the past.
I recently started heating with wood. Where I live I have to drive a bit to go harvest wood in the wild so when I go I need to have trusty tools for the task. I burn about 3 cords a year. As it sites right now I have 2 homelite super xl auto’s and 2 410’s. Now, the 410’s need at minimum crank seals and one of the xl’s needs crank seals and one runs well. My question is should I spend the money and fix up these saws or should I call it and get a Husqvarna 365? The homies are all in really good shape they are just old and need the soft parts replaced. Remember I need reliable saws. Right now I’m in all 4 saws 350$ so spending money on them wouldn’t hurt my feelings but am I setting myself up for a money pit trying to make old saws work?
Again thanks in advance. Also I am a mechanic by trade so doing the repairs myself isn’t a problem.
