Husqvarna 2 Series Find

[shorthunter]

Came across a really nice 242 today. I had planned to resell it but may end up keeping it. What do you guys think, is it nice enough that I should put it on a shelf?

Assuming it was manufactured in week 17 of 1989, anyone confirm?

Holy ch*t, that's a clean one.

Congrats on your find.

Yep, you do suck.

Nice saw, 300th year sticker is from 1989

Man that’s really clean! I’d be tempted to park that one on a shelf. Great snag!

 

[Stihlbro]

If you don’t keep that saw........something is wrong with you! Need I say more?

 

[jakethesnake]

Pretty. I’d use it though. I’m not big into keeping things around to look at. I might would flip it. I run the uglies no one else likes the look of

Yeah, I'd be keeping that one. They don't make saws in that size like that any more! Nice score!

 

[Troylee]

It has a missing screw on the recoil. Sell it.

You should get that saw out and run it. Find the tune, sharp chain and appreciate what that saw offered at that time. Sure time has evolved, but you have something that is worth experiencing. Maybe you won't like it, that's cool. But I'm willing to bet if used right, you will enjoy it.

I think Joey is in love!

You are lucky to come across one that clean brandon, id be hangin on to that one, regardless of whether or not a few bucks can be made.

I’ve had the opportunity to run two of them. If only I could have one more. I got one for my dad to use after open heart surgery. That is his favorite saw to this day. So yes, it means something to me.

I was a little surprised when I reviewed the specs on acres. He suggests the factory limit was 15,500, should be fun to run. That being said, I'm not sure I want to use it for what it was designed for. It's awful clean to be limbing downed trees

Do as you wish. I don't buy the 15.5 hoopla. It is more than a limbing saw if that is what you read. Dang Internet! Sell it and make money if you will. If you don't appreciate it, get rid of. Does that answer you questions?

I'll have to run it this weekend

I wish someone was this passionate about Mini-Macs. I could make a lot of money.

I got a carb for a minimac if you need one.
