Husqvarna 550xp

[Keith Gandy]

Try a 550 with a 16" Cannon Supermini bar with PS chain. That will settle it pretty quick

Ive tried .375, .325, and PS picco. The PS imo is smoother and faster than any of it

I hear a lot of good things about that ps chain. Especially on smaller saws.

The 325 seems to self feed alil better but the PS worked really well on my 241 and 550, very smooth and can be leaned on and stays sharp as long as one keeps her out of the dirt

I think ps is what I will run on my 421 when I finally get one.

I switched my ported 026 from .325 to 3/8. It was the big thing awhile back. Then I watched @Red97 's videos of a 346 with all 3 combos. I don't have a lo pro bar for mine, but I put a loop of Carlton semi chisel 3/8 lo pro on a regular bar and it cuts faster and smoother than full 3/8. I've seen pics of a lo pro chain on a regular bar and mine didn't look the same. Numbers are worn off so I can't id the bar for sure

Finished rebluing the double felling spikes and painting clutch cover orangeView attachment 15062

Don't know if they would fit, but I'd like to see the orange buckles holding the top cover from a 346oe on that.

Finally got the clutch cover decal in

Man, that looks slick. Nice work Keith.

I love stuff like this. Looks original, clean, and more gooder and stuff. Subtle little mods like these really make a saw or anything for that matter stand out and gives stuff a personal touch.

Great job. Me likey

Someday I might have to try out a real husky...lol I'm really liking the looks of the new ones. I just don't know if I'd like to own one. I don't have much for dealer support in my area. The only husky saw Ive ever owned was a 455 rancher. Good firewood saw. Your 550 has me tempted. I also really like the looks of the 372 high top and the 395 high top.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

I think I'm gonna start and keep my eyes open for a good husky project.....or two

Best way i can describe a ported 550 with a picco setup is it acts Pissed Off!!!!
