For reference, this is what a REAL parts department looks like.

What might this doodad be? It's like a sleeve that goes in the exhaust port. Is this needed or did I just find out a way to unleash some horse power on the Husky 36? View attachment 133454

Got a 562 builder case. Finally have some time off.

Is a 576 worthy of a build?

Why yes, yes it is.

I feel like they haven't got nearly as popular as they should.

I feel they are a little like the Stihl 441C. You love them or you hate them. Both incredible smooth saws to run but may be lacking in other areas...

Just about any saw is IMO. But yes on these for sure.

I am not a fan of them but this one has impressed me everytime. Has out cut OE and NE 372's with 24" or 28" buried in dry ash.

Blue part when it was in over winter.

I guess I will start searching for build threads then. From what I have read it is a very smooth saw but a bit on the heavy and cumbersome side.

I think Joe @Onan18 did one, if not he sure would be who I looked too for ideas.

There's a local tree service here that has a bunch of them. They prefer them over the 372 and 390.

I bought one of thier 390's... let's just say that it was well used. They say the 576 holds up better. Lol

My buddy has a 372 and 576, and cuts firewood with both. He says he usually reaches for the 576 first, and then switches when the chain starts getting dull.

Speaking of which, he just dropped a Homelite 360 off at my house. I haven't gotten into it yet, but he's saying it has fuel, but won't fire. Do these things have the unobtanium coil setup from Homelite?
