    So I snagged Dads old Husqvarna 257 today .. As i go through it every once in a while whether he likes it or not :)
    This saw spends all its time outside on his Kubota Rtv... So it looks bad. But... Starts and runs better than any of my clean saws !
    Anyway.... Im gonna go through and clean and scrub like i do to all my saws. Ill take off the muffler and paint it with high temp... And check everything out. What i dont know about.... Is there any way to freshen up the top cover plastic ? I usually just use wd40 it... But it doesnt ever last too long. Any suggestions would be helpful :) image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg
