262XP Rebuild - Junk Pile Save

[RI Chevy]

I have to admit..... I am really intrigued by this 262XP saw.
Sounds like it would make a great worksaw. Beefy, strong, overbuilt.

262 I am trading with Dan for has a Mahle cylinder. I'm planning to replace the crank bearings, seals, etc just because she's an older saw. No mods or porting initially for me either. I do plan to time the cylinder and see where it is though. These 262 really have my attention and I can't wait to get mine!

Dan: that 262 in the vid you posted on the previous page looks great!

Thanks Joe!

@RI Chevy glad to see you’re coming around. Between this thread and the 572 thread I’m detecting a trend

Side note: I just missed the beefed up crank for my 254 too.

I am all about a simple strong running overbuilt worksaw.
But as of now I am still all Stihl sans a 345e that was given to me. Lol

242, 254, 262 and 288 is where Husky did it all right, those models can't be compared against the junk Husky build later.

Thank you Tor. I know what to look for now.

The 262 was the saw that got me into this racket. I'm a Stihl man at heart but I can appreciate a well built, running saw. I've got enough parts to build 3 or 4 saws from the ground up. And nobody is getting ahold of my 87's!! Lol. However, that being said, you've got to run a MOFO 262. Holy Hell....

 

[RI Chevy]

I'd love to run one. Even own one!

You've got to at least try one...

 

[RI Chevy]

Hopefully run one at Dan's next week.
Maybe Marcello will bring his 262 MOFO?

You better be careful, they have a habit of attaching themselves to people..

What you guys call a junk pile saw, some of us rednecks call an unclaimed prize.
This thing is nice!

 

[davidwyby]

So...what's a MOFO? My searchfu is weak.

 

[RI Chevy]

Saw built by @drf256.
His brand name. LOL

Doc didn’t port Marcello’s saw, he did the machine work on it though.
