Husqvarna 281

What would one of these be worth?

Id say the one in condition like yours would get at least $400, maybe a little more (not including the high top setup)

I have a dolmar 116 good runner and 123 and a 133 to restore I also have a dolmar 306 cut off saw ;o) dolmar were as good as stihl and husky in their day in my honest opinion and I think they are underrated by the majority who only see stihl/husky brands worth have as that's what they see most professionals using, I don't think any make saws like they used to due tio regulations, etc. just my humble opinion and I'm sure many will disagree ? I wander how many new saws will be still running in 40-50 years time ?

so were Johnsereds, Cantdog and spike60 have some good videos on
them ,shared many models and parts with huskys

I was running a 288 for a while. It developed a crank leak so grabbed my ported 460. About ripped the cord out of it when I went to start it. The 288, if you don't pull it with some serious ass it bites!
Just as bad as the 2100.

How much are the high top kits for these saws worth? (Manifold, filter and cover)

Are you selling 1?

 

[Evan Clark]

I'm thinking about it if the price is right.
