Husky 262XP

[rcarolina]

I've inherited a well worn one of these - not using at the moment as it has a bent bar, no chain brake spring and a well worn sprocket.

 

It is a bit of a beats and I was wondering whether it's worth my time to get it back up and running - not even sure if you can still get the parts . It was made in Aug 97 so pretty long in the tooth - anyone still using one?

Quite a few people still use them and love them as a thread here a couple of months ago revealed. I love mine too; cracking saw on a 15" bar. I need one of them too having just pinched the tip. Doh.

When we stopped doing so much woodland forestry type work we switched to stihls ,which was gutting after the 262 power but mainly down to them lasting 5 minutes,it always amazes me when some one says they are still running one!

The 262 is a belting saw, Get it fixed and serviced and it will do you proud mate

cracking saw, the only problem i had with it, was the small end bearing went. fortunately i stop when it started to vibrate and got it fixed under warranty, got a 362xp now, feels a tad heavier but works well
