Husky advice

[Nc grease monkey]

Pile of huskies missing odds and ends.
Husky 61 mahle cylinder tillotson carb missing flywheel, clutch, chain adjuster, other parts im sure, part of casing broke of right below chain adjuster
Husky white top 65 mahle cylinder tillotson carb missing gas cap, clutch, coil, air filter, fuel line, etc etc
262xp ks jug and piston walbro hda87 carb, piston rough on exhaust side, cylinder cleaned up good and ordered meteor piston
372 xp x torque (cylinder and piston look barely used) need handle bar, muffler
575xp bad crank bearings, gas tank busted, crank case has small crack

My question is, are the 61,65 and 575 worth fixing? I've never used a husky saw so don't know much about them, only what I google. The 372 and 262 are supposed to be great saws, the other 3 not sure on. Any info or insight is appreciated.

61 is always worth fixin. 272 too end fits. I don’t do a ton of eepairs on em just run em.

 

[jakethesnake]

I don’t think anyone loved the 575. Not saying it isn’t worth fixing. Just not loved. I know absolutely nothing about the 65

Just set them in a box near your drive way, I'll pick them up, if I can get over the mountain. I may have a few parts and pieces for the 61 and 372 around. The 65 will the hardest to find parts for

Nice haul. I have some 262 stuff if you end up needing something.

Of the lot, the 575 is most likely to disappoint you. Crank bearing bores on the cases are very prone to leaking and wallering out.

Roads aren't too bad lol
Needing muffler and wrap handle for the 372.
The 61 is missing the most parts. Going to google parts schematic and start making a list lol

575s are good saws. A little heavy but good power and smoove too. Only the early ones had the crankcase issues i think.

@Dawnsman has an ad on AS looking for a 575 parts saw or parts. Maybe the 2 of you should chat.

 

[decableguy2000]

I have a standard handle bar I think. I'm just north of Asheville and the roads froze, had to pick up one kid at work and drop others at at friend, the traffic and roads sucked. Seen about 1/2 dozen wrecks.
The full wrap kit are about 30 bucks from dealers for the xtorq version. About 1/4 taller than the OE. I have one on a 371 with 0 issues.

great haul!!!!
I would swapped the ,575 away, that one need a lot work.
Seems the 61 and 65 is in lack of similuary parts, what thread does the crank have?
The other two saws, 262 and 372 should be builders.
