Traded for a Husky today

[JB Weld]

I picked up a Honda mower a few weeks ago (for free). It needed a new gas tank ($30) and some TLC to get it purring again. Today I traded it for a Husky 359 that has been used very little. I am going to hopefully get her into some oak in a few hours. It is not a saw I would want to carry around all day, but I bet she will be a Champ at bucking logs.

Sweet deal. This saw has a very very good reputation, especially when ported.

Good looking saw do yourself a favor and check or change the clamp on the intake boot if it has the plastic one on it and if it has a cat muffler on it if it were me I would put a non cat on her so she can breath be sure to re tune if you change it out. Good Luck.

I will check those things. The saw is 10 years old if that helps establish DOM.

That means it has the ol' style plastic intake clamp, unless it has been changed already. The change in production happened some time in 2006.

Very good saw! But like said, intake clamp and cat muff should be addressed.

Thanks again guys for the advice, and I will address those issues. It started second pull and ran like a champ in the wood.

I like the cat muffler on my 346. It's quieter than a standard muffler.

Honda mowers are great to flip. Usually it is carb problems and a new carb for the hrr216 series mowers is only $15. No that is not a carb kit, that is the whole carb.
