Husqvarna 281xp. Nothing pretty to look at but it's a solid ole saw. New bearings and seals. New OEM piston. Has an aftermarket clutch cover and muffler. Mastermind cut the chamber and base on the cylinder for me, I ported it, pictures below of that too...it does have finger ports. Good runner. THE CASES WAS BOUGHT FROM EBAY AND CAME WITH NO SERIAL TAG ON THEM SO THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T HAVE A SERIAL TAG. Saw has normal battle scars from use. Missing the operator presence lever. Saw runs and works as it should. Top cover is cracked in a couple places. Looking for 375.00 shipped in the lower 48 paypal as a gift. Powerhead only, I have no extra bars. First one to send the money gets the saw. Might be interested in doing some trading on a ms261, but that's it. Thanks.
I haven't ran it against any other saws, but I'd think it would run with a ported 288-066....but I can't say for sure. It's basically a 288 with a 52mm bore instead of 54mm bore. I wouldn't be scared to run a 32'' on it at all...that's what's on it in the video, but I usually run a 24 on it.
This saw is sold! Keep your eyes open for a 066 coming soon, its all oem with the old skool flat top non decomp cylinder, nothing pretty to look at but its a solid ole saw. Its stock for now but that can be changed for a small fee. Also may have a 064 coming soon too....and maybe a 044 too, or a minty 046. Just gotta decide what way i wanna go.
