Hi. Im in the mood for a new/different saw so I hit a couple pawn shops today and saw the following saws
First. was a Husky 359 with just a 14 inch bar and chain, both bar and chain were about toast and the top cover was cracked but its kinda cheap at $150 Canadian.
Second was another Husky model 365 special. 20 inch bar and chain. the chain looks almost new, the bar is an oregon with a replacable tip that looks like replacing the tip or getting a new bar would be a good plan,, the clutch cover is also cracked,but I could tig weld it easy enough. price on this saw is $265 Canadian.
Third saw was a Stihl ms290, in a case with a manual and a few tools thats clean, looks well taken care of and it appears to not need anything. price on that saw in $325 Canadian.
. My wife says I need another saw as bad as I need to get the flu but but but I want another.I dont need another thats true but think I will anyways,maybe I'll get rid of my 351. So any recommendations or the good, the bad and the ugly about these 3 saws would be appreciated.
Thanks Guys
