I don't have any pics but Im cutting timber every day that I work using a hodgepodge saw that I built. Ive got a 371xpg case half on one side, a 372xp case half on the other side, 372xp crank, with a 372xpw (75cc) top end. Its a SCREAMER too! It will outcut a 372xp or a 576xp, not QUITE a 390xp as far as cutting goes, but its lighter than any of the ones posted above! Im SERIOUSLY contemplating building another one before the part supplies dry up.

Apologies as a newbie here and not literate enough for pictures ....
Mine is a Husky 162 that replaced a McCulloch Super Pro 81 in the early 90s, I'm trying to date it but no luck yet. Is there a particular place to go here to find some info? The Husky is still a powerhouse and starts with 2 or 3 pulls, I always run Stabil in it 'cause sometimes it's a while between uses.
Started out ( 1950s) with a 3-25 McCulloch, to a Pioneer then some XL-12s and super XL-12s ....

Hope ya still got that 81?

I've run those...a 2171and a 372 setups with the XPW top ends that were ported by the same guy at a GTG and they were serious units!!! I loved that 2171....still keeping an eye out but they seem pretty dear if you find one for sale. Here's a couple pics of Leeha in the pile with his 750 Homee and one of Woodchucka's brother running that 75cc ported 2171..!! Oh and I couldn't get by without one of Leeha's "Big Mac" gear drive......
