SELLING Husqvarna / Husky 298xp PARTS ONLY!!!!!! Runs perfect!!!

[aarongd]

Good Evening Ladies and Gents. I just got in a Husky 298xp (and a 2100 in which i will post soon) in a pile of saws purchase. Looked pretty decent so i checked vitals and all seems good. Put some gas in tank and cranked a couple times and fired right up. The saw starts great, rev's up great, and idles perfect. i have not wood tested at all. This i reason i am selling as a parts saw only. I make no guarentees that it may or not need other stuff. The only thing i do know it seems to purr like a kitten and the on/off switch does not work. i did notice the clutch cover works 100% perfect. Brake handle and brake band is intact and not broken/missing anything. The clutch cover/chain brake cover is worth 200.00 all day long on fleabay as we all know this will also fit 2100 and 2101 and scarce as hens teeth for a good working with no damage cover . I am looking for 500.00 plus shipping. Will be posting one AS right after here. Thanks for looking.

That’s the same as a 2101 cover/brake, very nice!
Those brake parts are out there, unlike the 2100 stuff.

Isn’t the 298 eventually the same as the 2100, minus the aux oiler?

Yes to my knowledge yes. 2100 and 2101 has the aux oiler

The 298 has a plastic 2 pawl design flywheel cover, the 2100/2101 were aluminum with a 3 pawl design flywheel covers, that was the downside of the 298 , because they would fail a lot over a period of time,

Aluminum? I though all the metal parts on these were Magnesium.
