Would you buy husky 353

[Hunter]

This came up for sale local to me. Guy said it has been in garage for sometime but has been running. He wants £175 for it.

from picture it seems has been neglected.

would you buy such thing. Not sure from picture if it is the oldest of the newest 353 so it could be 10-20 years old saw.

Do you need it ?

At that price it's cheap if it runs, not many saws that size making on the second hand market for that price.

Doesnt look that bad.
Id buy it if it runs, not much more than the cost of a bar and chain these days.

And so it starts......

Looks good. If it starts, 50cc saw for that price. I would buy it.

Years ago I was given a 345 that wouldn't start and looked a lot rougher than that. Hadn't had any maintenance so gave it a good clean up, service parts replaced and it was well worth it. Still gets use, reliable little saw.

It is an early saw as it does not have a purge on it, however good solid little saw and well worth it if it runs ok, and not been molested with after market parts on it ( cylinder etc ).

As above - sort of like a 346. Nice 50cc saw and would be a good "go to saw".
