Something don,t sound quite right here

For the record I wouldn't knowingly buy stolen shit. And I probably wouldn't post about it in such detail if I had... ?️‍♂️

[Peasgood]

Wasn't accusing you. I never buy anything I think is pinched but have to admit I have a trailer that I later suspected was nicked at some point. Felt absolutely gutted for a long time about that because I pride myself on not buying stolen anything.

[Hank]

Yeah I hadn't really considered it might be stolen but now I feel weird.

You could check the serial numbers ( if they haven’t been removed), see if it’s on arbsafe or whether husqvarna have it recorded stolen

I thought that was on the picture he posted, that number does not appear on arbsafe.

 

Interestingly  a search on 560 doesn't return anything  and a search on 560xp returns about 4 stolen  saws but not this one.

 

The search function doesn't appear to accept wildcards.

Just noticed on this saw that it's running a 3/8 chain having bought a new .325 bar and chain for it. FFS.

Rim sprocket or spur?
Change it to .325 anyway, it'll cut faster.
