    Just a shout to see if there's any husqavarna 77 and or 65 owners out there ? And if there still using them ? I have a 77 with 20 inch .404 chain. Full skip it's just a cutting monster. Would be a hard saw to replace . It's been cutting 10 cord min. A couple years 20 cord since 1981 .. It's 1974 model . Was updated to electronic ignition from a 1980 model husqavarna. You have to own one to understand it's a serious force to be tangling with . It was the Stihl intimidator of it's day .

    Yes I own newer saws .. once you cut with .404 theres no going back .

    Got a 65 back in 1983 at the ripe old age of 15. It was my first Husky and it had a bow blade on it. Still running for me and the seed for MANY more Husqvarnas. Wouldn't trade any of them. Thanks for bringing back awesome memories.
