i repaired a 455 once and im positive i had more in parts than it would have cost to just buy another one new. at the time they were still on about 350 bucks but i got for free and let someone borrow it who thought it was a good idea to wash it and not dump the water out and run it when he was done. i didnt discover it for about 6 weeks when i was prepairng everything for winter. the bearings were almost rusted in place.

well, not in New Zealand its not cheaper...

I’ve actually seen many of this family of saws with odd air leaks, dead factory coils, loose flywheels from new ect. Not real high on my list of saws to buy from any manufacturer personally. I’d talk them up to a 455/460 if they insist on a husky
