Anyone breaking a Husky T540XP?

[Kev Stephenson]

One of my saws has come back from a day out damaged. The chain brake handle was wobbly and it looks like the top piece of the crank case has broken off. It looks like its a cast piece (and it's pretty small) so welding not an option. I am going to try chemical metal unless anyone has another option otherwise I am considering buying a 'for breaking' T540xp - seized or otherwise.

 

Anyone looking to sell one for less than the £150 a new crank case is?

 

Thanks in advance

I've got a 201 as well - and a 200.

 

Literally just ordered 4 more chains for the husky and the day after it came back broken.

 

Do I spend £150 repairing it or break it and sell the parts and spend £450 on a new 201?

I'm just hanging on to mine, using it periodically and waiting for some scrappers to start turning up.

I can't send mine out with a team when not in perfect condition

[Mick Dempsey]

Yeah of course, on the days I do use it I get a little tearful, 'cos it's a bloody brilliant saw otherwise.

We have had one returned, exactly same issue, its a weak point. At least when a MS201T drops its £18 worth of bits and 30 mins not £150 and a total rebuild

[Mick Dempsey]

I was quoted €400 just for the part. For 150 quid I'd have it fixed tomorrow.
