Is the 257 the new 262?

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

No.

 

[P.M.P.]

Not this one but wouldn't mind if it was.

 

[exSW]

My 262's gather dust. The Shindaiwa 575 and Dolmar 6100 on the other hand.

I know, blasphemy.
I get the 257 together and we'll see.

No idea....iv never seen this on a Husq before ... plenty of the gold 300 stickers but not this on a pull insert and a insert on the air cover. Looks to be commemorative ..but of what event or situation i dont know.

That's awesome got to wonder if it is one that's hopped up from the factory.
Maybe they did it for the Husqvarna team at the world logging championship

my 372 XPG from 2005 doesnt have the blue decor, nor do it has world champ on start cover decor, and its close to a mint saw also, no changes done with it Simon

Scored a 2005 husky 338xpt (California special) this week. I was unaware of this version until I graciously took it from the previous owner! It is a 45cc clone of the 39cc 338xpt. I'm assuming it was a baileys special with the 12 and 16in bars and 4 chains. I know a lot of guys dont dig the husky top handles, but I own and occasionally climb with a modded 338xpt 39cc and love it. I actually threw my modded muffler on the California today, pulled the carb limiters, and cut some 8in season oak. Running a cute little 12in bar the saw cut awesome! Sounds way more better too! I think I'll be selling my 39cc and keep the California. Any thoughts? The majority of my husky collection is pretty minty fresh, but this saw was truly pampered it's entire life!

I see some good news for 254 lovers. Meteor is making not just a piston but a cylinder kit now as well. This should make that saw a viable option for a rebuild. While not for chainsaws, Meteor is an OEM supplier for motor bikes in Europe, they're garden line is top notch as an AM replacement.

I'm still waiting to see a 550 piston from them.

I thought Husq USA were doing silly cheep OEM parts Brian (unlike in UK !! )

 

[Sty57]

The last time I checked, the piston was $4 more than a complete C/P kit.

It's not the worst, but it would be nice for affordable piston when that's all you need.
