Could be worse..

DVLA/DVSA said a while ago that we'll pretty much copy EU road rules.
-
Is that where you earned your stripes?
-
Doh, so it is. 🥴
-
It will need to be stripped as it is in the photo but it's actually not that bad. The front handle comes off, then it's just removing the carb, fuel lines, etc from the back handle/tank/carb mount assembly. Some vibration mounts and such, coil & plug wire, the induction hose between the cylinder and carb mount. The choke/kill switch is a little fiddly but it's actually quite straightforward despite how it looks. Probably about a 30 minute job.
-
It's not difficult to replace, but you have to strip the saw quite a bit.
-
Gimme? Not bad. I paid £670 for my 572, 2 weeks old.
-
My pair of 'em: I love these saws. If i could afford a third i'd have yours too!
-
Yeah, fair enough. I have one to use and one to look at! (At the moment both only get looked at.)
-
I'd love to buy it too but i've ready got 2 brand new ones. Can never have too many 395s.
-
£700+ on eBay.
-
It's for the full wrap handle to attach into.
-
+ import tax. I've looked at a few places to import from. Will bear that in mind. You got 3120s as well? -
Do us a favour, pick me up a couple of those 395s on your diving trip then. Cheers me old mucker. 😘
-
Not much point posting that without a price.
-
I think it's Husky small pattern. At least the 2700, which is the same as my T525 is that.
-
Yes, T425. I have a T525 which is a GZ2700T. Love it, great little saw.

"Chainsaw blade" (*cringes and wretches*)
-
Flippin' 'eck..
-
Your website did mention that you're a champion finger blaster.
-
On the ground i prefer it on my belt, easier to reach and stow. Up a tree the SawPod's good as it stops it swinging off your harness and getting in the way. I wouldn't worry about buying one yet. Do some groundie work with it on your belt and go from there.
-
The Stihl ones are worse. Flared ends in plastic that fall out like on 201s, no thanks. At least the Husky ones have the little "cage" that clips into the clutch cover.
-
I don't think they're that great. When i put the HD clutch cover on my 572 i lost the captive nuts option but M8 flange nuts have worked fine for a long time. And easy enough to carry spares in the toolkit.
