Good result, pleased for you . Tracker would not have done us much goods though . They took our horse box to pieces one night . Drilled the frame , door and all to the living comp off Got in stole anything and every thing Including the fold out steps the seats the partitions the wheel trims all the tack and horse rugs da de da de da the list goes on . I hate the baaalams . The lorry was baisicly wrecked .

Can't beat a good working cocker me thinks .

I knew that little cylindrical dial with the numbers on was for something ! Thanks will give it a try

I defer to spud. end of . I used a 254 for ever and only had an ally side cover but it seems there were plastic ones. sorry dude .

As I recall all 245 clutch covers were cast ally. Shed loads of parts on fleebay . just type in 254 or husqvarna chain saw and then narrow it down after that . It was theeee bread and butter saw ion the woods when I was youg , about a long time ago . Still a cracking saw though I.M.H.O.

If he is working indoors then I suppose it has to be electric . ( Husqvarna , Makita etc) I have no experience of the electric ones but all my life on 2 stroke saws . If he is working out side , or could, with no inconvenience the get a petrol one as he wont be restricted if he needs to go further a field . just a thuoght . Regards Andy.

Hi . Just wonered . We have a jensen 540 and it drives me made when you are putting loads of brash through it eventually gets under the shaft of the top roller and the they wont close so it wont pull thin stuff in . Shoving a log through of 6 to 8 inch dia some times clears it but not always . I have to put a log in and stop it half way so it holds the roller up and dig the crud out with a screw driver . Msakes the job we are on longer .

Only get a 365 if its the special . The special has the crank bearings and bottom end from a 372 so more robust . The ordinary 365 is not so strong .

There is a 346XP on fleebay at the mo . Item # 110809718253 . Its under your budget so far. Bloke says he is retiring from the woods . From the pic it shows there is a blanking plug in the decomp thread. Easy to put a decomp valve back in - - or just be tough !

I got a 560XP last week and am knocked out with it to be honest. Got an 18 and 15 in bar. I changed the power mat from a standard 7 to an 8. It leaves a positive " rooster tail " of chip ! ! I I have heard that any of the saws coming to U.K. will not have the rev boost be they 560 or 562 .
-
I might be missing something vital here but at the risk of being a complete idiot - - I thought a new Husqvarna 562xp was the same as a new Husqvarna 560XP the only difference being the bar mount size and a 3/8 powermate rim . Or am I wrong ? ?
-
On your buget it has to be second hand me thinks . Husqvarna 346 XP is theee saw of the last few years . The 254 was the one to have prior to that . If you can get a decent 254 or 346 on a 15in bar for that money thats the way to go but as every one says talk to spud . What he don't know about those saws is diddely .

My saw dealer lets us tip for free on his ground as long as its not conifer. Some times we can tip at horse livery yards they put it down in gate ways and take off/landing spots on jumps . but we don't get paid . Other than that it costs us £9 foe 3 meters at our green site .

Take the exhaust can off get a bit of steel tube cut a hole on the side you want the gases to come out . braze the tube in and blank off the old one . You are almost into porting ! L.O.L.
-
I thought the same . Any canker seems to burn just fine when its on ash
-
Had one for years . changed it for a 575 , did not like that so went back to 372 . Get it get it get it get it . One of the best .
-
I don't think you can get a better job than a sharp file myself but I have heard th " Carlton Profi " is a goodun .

325 pitch 15 - 18 bar . stonking cutter !
-
I was going to get one before Crimbo but when I went in to my dealer they had all been recalled for the problem of cutting out under load . This week he got is re stock ( supposedly cured of all its probs ) so i took a chance and bought one this week ( see my recent thread ) Can't fault it so far . Got bags of grunt and out performs my 357 . Its on a 15" bar full chis . and revs like a nutter . think I will go up one pn the powewrmate rim for more chain speed >
