    I approach this, for myself, not on the monetary value of the saw, but how much I enjoy that saw or figure I will once completed. Within reason on the money part obviously. If I can buy a nice runner for less than rebuilding an old saw, I will go that route.

    I like all oem saws. Can you get all the oem parts you need, or a parts saw? I think Scotty is a 020 fan.

    I'm so busy and he's so good I'd probably just send it to huskihl.

    Can't go wrong with that idea.

    He
    He Definitely does his best. I have a 261 husky he built into a 262 that is very impressive. Fixing to send a gz7ooo and a 2166 to him.

    Very nice. He's done 4 saws for me so far and if CAD rears it's ugly head, he will do the next ones too.
