Best/Most Desirable saws of each Decade?

[South_Prairie_Saw]

Where you're located parts are probably somewhat available. I've bought two complete 2100 Huskys in the last two years and two, more or less complete, basket cases as well. I do have some parts still available.
2100 Homelites are a different matter, parts for them are very scarce.

Yeah there are two for sale in this area right now, tho one guy is asking 1200 for a well used one.

Btw Jay, quite the collection you have! Love the shelves you have to display saws, not to mention the saws themselves! Mac 125 would definitely be a welcome addition to my collection!

I only ask because they do seem relatively popular, but I don’t think I’m ambitious enough to attempt to build one from scratch

Do a search on eBay for Husky 2100 clutch covers, air filters, front handles, fuel tanks and top covers. It will give you an idea what is available and for how much if you needed to rebuild one. Its a project and if you are in a hurry to rebuild and get running it will cost you a bit of money, but with time and patience, you can find deals.

Thank you very much. If you find yourself in need of 2100 parts later on, I might be able to help. Also some 125 parts, although I'm down to mostly the smalls for them.

With enough time in the woods, all the sides are sticky.

I think "rare" and "best" don't always go hand in hand when saws are concerned.
I'd say that from what I've seen is that( 2 series husqvarna =aka 272xp ,288xp) , (OH series Stihls=044,064,and 028s) , and (10 series McCulloch =10-10S,Pro700,and super pro81) Pretty much define the 80s and 90s of saw work in my area for professional use . It's evident that the bulk of the sawyers in this area were relying on these models, that is what defines best to me.
Alot of home owners wanting high quality bought CounterVibe Poulans also in my area, they litter the south east. A 3400 will last a home owner decades.
