[jakethesnake]

Found one near me may go give it a look tonight anything specific I need to look at on it. I've never held one give me some input chances are I'll buy it if I can get the price where I want it Tell me bout em

 

[David Young]

nice saws, lots of parts around and easy to work on.
here is a stock saw

Get it if you can i can't find any to go with my 288 that are worth fixing nice saws great sound to them as well.

 

[DSS]

A 272 is always worth bringing home. Like was said, parts are everywhere. I think you can buy every piece aftermarket

 

[cgraham1]

I'd take one if the price was right... $300 or less.

I may be a Stihl guy, but I have a lot of respect for the 70 cc saws made by both companies. Best all around size, IMO.

 

[jakethesnake]

I guess if parts are all available no need to be shy about it is the av acceptable ?

 

[David Young]

The Av is a 45 year old design, but it is like what stihl continues to use so whats that tell you?

They are a nice all around saw I love the sound and the way they balance. A 372 is smoother no doubt about it. Unless the saw is smashed to chit you really cant go wrong with it.

Great Saws, bring it home if you can.

 

[Wagnerwerks]

Price would be my deciding factor.

 

[Wood Doctor]

One has to wonder if the Husky 272XP didn't put the Stihl MS 440 out of business. If not, then perhaps the 372XP did. Seems like $300 for a good-running 272XP is a bargain.

[Landmark]

If it runs good it's well worth that.

 

[jakethesnake]

So what's the hole for in the top cover ?? I could really use a chain brake if any of you fellas have one you don't need an arm n leg for let me know.

 

[jakethesnake]

Tillotson carb

 

[jakethesnake]

A mfg date would be good if anyone can eye that up for me

 

[jakethesnake]

This looks dickd with to me ? The threaded holes are for what? Top cover uses one not the other Air filter nasty as *s-word Anyone that could lend a hand with advice would be good

 

[jakethesnake]

Also realized now there is no felling dogs. Need those as well if anyone has those and the hardware necessary I'd appreciate it. So but yeah it runs rim sprocket is toast also sorta could use some help on what the correct one of those is for this saw I know I want a 7 3/8 just not sure what size spline I need

 

[jakethesnake]

Brand new bar was included and a chain that may fit ..... New slug n jug on it as well I noticed I haven't pulled the muffler to verify but looks like it's gotta come off to add the buckin spikes
