    Here are a couple of saws I purchased to fix up and resell. Trouble is they are so nice, I don't want to sell them now. I may end up keeping one of them.

    Saw on left is a 288xp with 28" bar, full wrap and big dogs. Saw on right is a 268 with a 28" bar. Huskys1.jpg Huskys2.jpg

    2 sweet saws right there! I've wanted a nice 288 for a long time now. I just don't need another saw. If I have the means I'd kick your tires on it.

    My dad commented about this saw today, which he usually doesn't do. He was impressed how well it cut.

    Good eye! USPSA targets. Either from practice, or classes.

    Picked up this 026 from a state auction back around May 2017. Made a couple of cuts but it needed a new bar and chain. Got those June 2017 and just let it sit until today. Did a little cleaning, new bar and chain plus meeting Wood Doctor from OPE to assist with a tune. Outside is a little ruff but inside looks like it spent more time in the back of a truck or something. Should be ready to cut some wood.

    I saw this beast at metal recycle spot while dropping off. Sears/David Bradly 95cc Direct drive.
    A4C59823-7A39-4D99-B13E-B6BF8DDE5F56.jpeg The 350 I answered a CL shed clean out. The guy said it smoked. He started it for me and it did. $30 later I got it home and poured out the old fuel and it was blue like blueberry syrup. Piston was like new and it runs like a champ with new fuel.

    I really like them 350's. IMO best plastic case homeowner saw ever. My boy bought the red version on the cheap a bunch of years ago and I've been playing with it ever since. Turned it all black and ported the cylinder myself. It's a screamer for being an oem jug.

    BC73AC51-441D-4F3B-B762-EA1586D028EA.jpeg Grabbed this one today.
    It was a good turn of events, nearly swapping the 350 I got earlier this week.
    Has 155 lbs and the piston is near spotless. The only thing I’ve found off so far is it had last years gas in it when I got it and the throttle return spring on the tilly has the return tips snapped off. It still returns, but that and the bushings looking worn, the idle is inconsistent. Oh, and the spark arrest hood is missing.
    Shouldn’t take much. Changed the fuel line and filter already.
