    Nice, but why didn’t you get the 346s

    They are in the parts trailer. I tried a few runners but something was amiss on both. Imo the 242 feels like a better saw.

    I’m assuming the 2 in the parts trailer don’t run and yes they could be bought.
    He has a few others that run

    i saw that first thing this morning
    Not to far from me if anyone needs a grabber.
    You’d need to figure out the $$ with the seller.
    I could possibly grab and ship

    Yes. It’s too much to get pictures of. I’m kicking myself for not getting pics of the Husqvarnas covered with blankets.

    I had a good PM chat with the guy last night. He would take $1100 without B&C. I was considering trading a couple saws for it. He knows my friend who flips and works on saws.
    I saw his location and thought of you Mike

    Holy moly if I was there in person I'm pretty sure I would have offered to buy the whole pile hahahahahahahahahaha. And then I'd really be in trouble.

    How did you come to the decision to choose that particular saw? Those wheel horses are nice. I had an opportunity to get one for free but it wasn't running and all the way down a tremendously steep driveway and I had no truck.......And even if I had a truck I had no way of getting it up into the truck without a winch..........and so it went to someone else.......

    To me it seems like a lot of money for that saw. I know it has a big fan base but......
    Iirc my 661rcm with 36" was only $300 more. I've run both and my hands can feel the difference.

    It’s a classic though and in very good shape if the insides look similar

    He had 2 in great condition. One looked like it had never had gas in it. They were both 99 models, but we couldn’t get either one to run. They would fire up, but couldn’t keep them running.
    The pristine condition is what initially attracted me to the saw. It’s light, I like the 2 series saws, it was within my budget and I like the way it cuts.
