Husqvarna specs???

[alderman]

Does anybody care to fill me in on the specs of the Husqvarna 51 and 61?
What years were they made? Also how do they compare to the newer saws as far as reliability? Are parts still available?
I've not gotten into Husqvarna's so any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can find specs [URL="http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/391540c75e6e54c888256b52001619a9?OpenDocument"]here[/URL] and [URL="http://www.acresinternet.com/cscc.nsf/ed1d619968136da688256af40002b8f7/01ec47be5550bbce88256d5a005a3315?OpenDocument"]here[/URL].The reliability of those models is not a problem,both great saws.Parts are easy to get.

Never used a 51, but the 61 was one of the most popular saws here for many years.They were used by many logging crews because you couldn't kill them.They were popular with the firewood cutters also.
