    Husky is probably 10-1 more common here.
    Fb local community sale page
    Finally paid off
    Usually saws are sold to someone even if your the first to comment lol
    The seller received many offers after me but he held it for me.
    I thanked him for that.
    150.00 with 28 inch oregon and lgx
    It's a 2001 model
    Turned out to be in excellent condition
    After cleaning
    The comp was 120
    I didn't have a ring.
    So i put a ported mahle 372 cylinder on it.
    With a 268 popup piston and a caber.
    170s comp now
    Opened up an extra muffler to let it breath.
    Excellent runner
    Put on 20180812_115942.jpg a 24 with new lgx skip
    Nice light falling saw

    Nice saw! And with the mods that should put an azz whipping on any stock 372xt or 441 Stihl.

    It does
    My friend cut several popups for me
    268 and 272 for the big bores.
    All have made excellent runners.
    Some builder's don't like them
    I have been running them
    For year's since the 371 day's
    When someone figured these out.
    I have to send out for machine work
    These are simple drop in.
    I just work over the exhaust and intake a little.
    20170512_172521.jpg here's a 268 compared to a 272
    Much lighter and higher comp
    With popup.

    Over here
    I have the newer version...2166. It's been a great saw so far. Only mods I have messed with are the "european muffler" (with tube rather than slot port) and I have an 8 pin sprocket on it at the moment. (20" bar)

    Wow, you stole it! Great score. Saw looks very clean/low use.

    I have a 372 xtorque
    Same as yours saw
    Different colors
    Did you take the transfer covers off and grind the divider?
    It's a 2172 after that lol
