todays score

[joe25DA]

I was told it was a 244XP, oiler not working. Hmmm well there is no Husqvarna 244XP. But for $35 it was worth the trip. I figured he got the number wrong, but XP is either there or its not. I got there and found this. A nice, low hour 262xp! I don't hear much about these saws here, but it started on second pull and sure sounds strong.
I also got the 225R brush cutter for another $30. Runs good as well.
So Ill be pulling that pump off, Im thinking maybe a broken pickup tube. Its a gear driven pump. I just cant imagine it broke?:msp_rolleyes:

Actually Joe, I read quite a bit here about the 262XP. Its labeled a proven winner and at $35 you should be on an offender list somewhere!! LOL!!

 

[shawn022]

If the oiler is the same as a 272 it might just be the plastic gear has stripped out. If so under $5 and your good.

Im gonna have to use that "search" button. Its a '96.

 

[joe25DA]

I guess this saw has been discussed here! This saw does have the mag clutch cover too.

 

[stihl waters]

It will be the plastic gear stripped,no biggie. At one time you could get a brass replacement for them,262 were notorious for stripping that little cog.

 

[nmurph]

You did good, Joe. That's almost as cheap as my free 262.

Yes, they are discussed weekly....

 

[034avsuper]

That's a great price, congrats Somebody on my local classifieds site wants $375 for one

 

[joe25DA]

Ill check that plastic gear. I had a 61 that was missing the clutch, drum and that plastic piece.

You did it again. Nice score.

It...WAS...(1997-2002)...a commercial brush cutter with 25.4 cc motor...
Weight was about 13 lbs. and some models could use a metal blade.
Actually any could use a metal blade...and one was a round chain file sharped one
(What I meant was...factory wants a metal guard...same as today)
Brush cutter looked bigger than it really was...(25.4 cc)
Max RPM...not to be exceeded...14,000

Hope this helps...

Good info to know! I do landscaping on the side, 5 properties and odd jobs come up a lot. I had a husky brush cutter before, but it got stolen:censored:. Right now it has the trimmer head, but I believe I sill have the cutter head off my old one somewhere...

My original thought was to fix and flip the saw, but Ive since re-considered. Ill clean them both up and fix the oiler on the 262. then run them both.

 

[Chris J.]

Nice score , Joe. A lot of folks think highly of the 262XP.

Joe, you wont flip the 262XP. You don't know it yet but its one of your favorites now.
