FOUND IT Husqvarna 346xp or Jonsered 2153

[jmester]

I am looking for a 346xpg or 2153cwh. It does not have to be perfect. Not afraid of a builder saw either. Just has to have an intact heating system and handle bar.

Still looking

Never seen a 346 xpg.

It is just a 346xp with heated handles.

Yeah I got that just never came across one. Just about everything else but never a 346 xpg just an odd one for me anyway

I got what you are saying now. You are correct they are not super common. I was bidding on one on ebay germany and lost by $25. Time difference doesn't help trying to win an auction.

This was built by a friend with parts from Europe. It was the first one I had ever seen and I snagged it quickly when it came up for sail. Kinda ruins ya! I’m basically down to a one saw plan, at least for January lol

He knows how to build a sweet 346 that's for sure.

They’re around, just not as many

@Josh0619

Do you have another one?

Just have the one

I am going to give up on finding a saw with heated handles and start hunting for a new edition 346xp or 2153 or 353. I will just buy the heated stuff from husky and put it together.

Lightly used would be best. I would like it to be cosmetically nice.

 

[cuinrearview]

Is ordering a new 353 from @NightRogue out of the question?

 

[jmester]

No not necessarily. I have talked with him already about a 353. Based on some parts searching I am going to have around 400 in the heated handle stuff. Trying to stay under $1000 on the saw and heating stuff. But maybe that is not realistic number.

 

[cuinrearview]

Throwing that number out, I'd be surprised if you didn't get a lead or two.

 

[dustinwilt68]

I have a really nice 2152/53 ported onnits way back to me, saw is really clean, I can swap on a new non ported OEM topend if you would prefer, PM me.

 

[jmester]

Pm sent

Decided to get my 084 powder coated and squirrel away some more 084 and 880 parts. It will be better money spent on my end.

Thanks for everyone's help.
