Hi everyone, I found an old 2003 Husky 141 in a skip on my way home the other night and got it out and through it in the van, it obviously hasnt been started for a long time and most the screws are missing, just wondering if anyone has used 1 and is it worth me sorting it out or just throw it away?

do this to it, i'd recommend using the front wheel and going lock to lock on top of it.. and show us all a video when you have done it:thumbup: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yA7zfvcaG0]YouTube - Get a Stihl Lee[/ame]

Shame you are not closer - Id have it off you - they are worth £100 - £120 in working condition but you should be able to get £30 - 40 as a non runner.

 

To do it up may not be worth it but the spares will have value - guys are to quick to bin stuff - IMHO, one mans junk is another mans gold!

First of all, praise to he that dives the skip! hip hip hurray!

 

Souns like it would not be worth fixing (I've not a clue about husky's) but surely just to chuck it seems wastefull. Why not put it on ebay first, somebody might be desperate for that one part...

I have given up working on these low cost saws, you put the same hours in as working on MS200, MS260 etc but make £50 for hours of work - not really worth it IMO, there are plenty of people on ebay that will give you £30 for it though - just clean it up first and make sure it is not missing major parts!

 

Will have to get another MS200 ready for sale for you - not enough hours in a day - perhaps I could make a tardis!
