If it’s a 257 259 261/2 I will buy it from you

I’m probably gonna keep this saw once I get it cleaned up and fixed. If I ever do feel like selling it then I’ll PM you

talk about cheaply made
Got the box blade cheap because someone broke it and as I was taking it apart and then putting it back together I found where stuff was welded in different spots from one side to the other and pieces that are supposed to match was different length
Got it straightened up and matched up
Need some flatbar to finish it up to hook on the tractor

Is that your Cadillac ?

Might be interesting to some:

I do not know if it is the new TsuMura that is under development, nor do I know if Husqvarna will buy bars from TsuMura, but the name they have called it on the Finnish Husqvarna page is interesting.

I don’t have a piston or a cylinder. I have an hda199 to convert when I build it. If you’re willing to part with any parts to get me closer let me know.

The easiest carburetor to convert to 262 is the HDA-198.

Glad that we are all one family and don’t have to eat outside (43f) like these two.

Thank you Tor. I’ll do some digging and see what is different. Better yet because I won’t have to rob the 199 from my 346

Sounds like every family vacation we took until I was 11. In 1981 dad bought his very first new car, Pontiac Parisienne Brougham. He loved that car so much they never smoked in it, instead every road trip now needed a rest stop every 2 hours... not classic country either actually. Maybe some JC but more big band Duke Ellington, Dizzie Gillespie etc.
I blame them for me wanting too and learning to play trumpet, although I did get to tour Canada and parts of Europe with our school bands.

I got them back in 1988 when I slid that Pontiac in to the back of a bus and totalled it. Man I miss those velour seats...

I love trumpet! I was a band nerd too! Lots of fun

If its an early (1990?) KS? cylinder (no decomp) 262 it wont need any porting....or carbeltating.

The biggest difference between them is that the HDA-199 has an acceleration pump.
Whether it matters in terms of performance is another matter, but in terms of conversion, I would have taken an HDA-198 any day.
Be aware that you have to massage the impulse channel a little thought since the 254/257/261/262 HDA is a tiny fraction to the side compared to the 357/359 carburetor.

Why have parts been discontinued to this great saw?
