I recently picked up a good condition 281. Not sure if it is XP or not, maybe someone can help me with the serial number.
It was not cheap, but it was worth it.
P&C are sound, muffler is good, clutch, crank etc is fine, carb is good, air filter is very clean.
The top cover has been replaced with one from a different saw and the side cover was replaced with an AM one.
The first things to go were the chain tensioner and the pull cord. I just put the original pull cord back in and melted the knot to keep it held. The tensioner got ripped out when the chain was thrown limbing a cypress tree. The little rubber washer had worn out. Luckily the dealer had a full tensioner assembly. Same one as in a 61.
The original side cover had a metal brake.
The new one actually squeezes the bar grooves and traps the chain when the nuts are fully tightened!
Not sure if this is due to poor alignment with the bar grooves or the material used being too soft and easy to squeeze under tightening pressure.
