Husqvarna 298 to buy or not to buy!?

[SawTroll]

I've a 2101 which is pretty much the same saw......

Buy it mine is a beast

 

Pretty much, yes - but the 298 had a smaller starter that often failed (was replaced by 2100/2101 ones), and is lacking the manual oiler.

Any photos of the 298?

 

May be worth taking off the exhaust for a quick look at the cylinder and piston.

 

Old big Huskys are great.

I have a 2101XP - good saw for milling

It's so cheap I've bought it just for ringing up big stuff at the yard.

 

Looking at ms660's as main big saw

 

Ill upload some pics of the 298 when I get a sec
