    Looks in good shape. Throw a yellow chain on and be prepared to be surprised. Deal and a half.

    Maybe MasterMech can change the title to
    Husky 465 rancher + Makita 6421:)

    You done good! This was WAY MORE saw for your money that the 465 rancher could even hope to grow up and be! And for probably $100 -150 less!

    Great deal!

    Now I'm going to look around and see if there's any for sale near me. My hyper local store doesn't rent saws. So, out may be a few miles, but I drive a ways, past a few HD stores.

    Thanks, :salute: I appreciate that but, I just bought one a month ago out in Fenton.
    I just go look for them because I'm curious

    I just want to thank everyone who helped contribute to my little saw adventure. For the money and the experience I received I think I got a good deal.

    Now I need to find someone that can take the power head over the winter and put a new top end in and give it a once over.

    This is pretty straightforward to do. Reach out when you're ready.

    I watched a 1.5 hr video last night on this saw getting a new 79cc top end and I think it's little more technical than I'm ready for. Plus I need someone to look for any other wear problems
