    The inventory will have changed and probably prices, so no telling. It’s easy to lose your mind around that many brand new looking old saws.

    I need to get the 261 back up and running first, but I have talked to Kevin about the 545.

    I don't use my saws nearly as much as most on here, I love my MS 261 from Brad and would be surprised if it had problems in the foreseeable future. It's light enough, and brings plenty of power for my needs. I'll have to keep in mind the solenoid update though.

    Good deal. Hopefully your 261 is repairable and you'll have two great saws.

    Nice pickup! I really love my little Jred 2252. I keep my eyes out for used 545s. Probably one of the better values for a saw IMO

    They 545 has been a pleasure to run so far. It relatively lightweight, handles well.

    The 261 is proving to be a challenge, but I'll let huskihl cover that when he gets it lined out.

    Seems like a great value in a saw.

    I have a modded 550xp MKII…the thing is a joy to run…definitely should consider having some sausage added to your 545.
