    So I was at my Husqvarna dealer yesterday picking up some parts. We got talking about my 346 and he said he had one in the back he was going to sell. So then I asked what else he had. We went out back and he had 2) T338's, 455, 346, 372 and a 394. I got prices on all but the 455. That 394 ran through my head all night last night. Well it followed me home today after work! I pulled the muffler and checked compression while I was there piston is spotless and compression was at 160 before I got tired of pulling on it. image.jpeg

    I was outside with it yesterday after I got home and a logger buddy of mine pulled in. We had a couple beers and the he tried selling me his 562 he bought in April. I said my stepdaddy had mentioned getting a second one. So I took a couple pics and sent them to him. Well before he could respond, which was an hour and a half later. My buddy says to me, do you want to trade me that 385 back for it. Mind you I got the 385 from him running but in very rough shape. I put a bunch of new parts on it. Figuring since I had just got the 394, I didn't really need the 385, which still needs a new fuel tank. So I agreed. I put probably $200 into the 385 and ended up trading it back to him for a 4 month old 562. Hell of a day for saw trading yesterday! image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Both of those will be great runners and good deals to boot!! Send the 562 to Randy and let him monkey on it and you will never want another saw......
