Looking for a saw upgrade...

[benelli777]

Good evening McPherson,

I do not know if somebody in Quebec or Ontario that build saws. My Husky 545 is going to Mastermind Randy in november.

The shipping is EXPENSIVE from Québec to USA but It is a one time deal. It is going to cost about? 50- 60$ To ship powerhead to Tenesse.

Je vais te revenir la dessus pour savoir si la scie a pris 30-40 % mais juste pour le sticker ca va valoir la peine

There is a guy that lives around Simcoe Ontario that ports saws. I think his name is Ed Heard.

 

[benelli777]

Is he member here ?

 

[B-N]

He used to be a sponsor here, but he isn't around anymore. Simcoe is 30 mins away from me, I should take my 288 or 372 out his way sometime(after it gets freshened up).

Found him on YouTube, "EHPSaws"

There are lots of Canadian members here. If buying new isn't an option for you put an ad in the Trading Post and see if someone has a saw they want to part with near you. As stated above. If you want a one saw plan get the 562xp and ditch the 550xp. If you want to keep the 550xp, go for a 365, 372xp, or 576xp. Perfect two saw plan. Best of luck to you.

He builds a great from everything I've ever heard. He's been around longer than most of the rest of us.

Yep I will give a call back to the shop for the Johnny, and look locally in other shops.. If it's not working I will try the trading post. Sure I prefer to see by myself before buying! I also saw a 385 ported located in BC on trading post, a little more than I expected to spend ($) but it's an option.

 

[McPherson]

Sooooo the guy decided to keep it. Damn.

 

[McPherson]

Found a Stihl 066 that has not been fired up since 3 years for 250$.. Maybe that should be a good start? Parts may be harder to find since it's a "0" serie?

 

[blsnelling]

The 066 is super common and very easy to get parts for.

we ran jonesreds for a decade or two , now we don't get cold out here -- but i don't think you can go too wrong with a 2266

 

[benelli777]

Hi Mc Pherson,

Just wanted to know if you bought the 066 that was on sale at LesPac?

 

[McPherson]

Called the guy and he just had sold it Again, wasn't for me! Looking for another one!
