My good friend just gave me this 'veteran' 272XP (with 268 top cover and starter cover) for Christmas.  It's a good runner.  Last time it was used, He was cutting up a large maple with me last April.  If I'm deciphering things right........it was built in the second weekd of January, 1996.

Needs an outer bar plate, kill switch, brake band, and brake flag (and screw/bushing/spring).  Has the 'knee link' and coil spring for the brake, as well as the brake hardware cover and screws.  Yes I know the dawg is on upside-down.  That's easily fixed, and I won't hold it against my buddy.:D

Cool.  I didn't know that SCS was making decals for these saws.  Thanks for the info!

I have bought several items from chainsawr and the parts and service has always been excellent.

When looking at the pictures I saw the unfamilar blue decomp button on the saw. My 1993 272XP has no decomp but only has a few tanks of fuel run through it to date since '93.

Later 272XP's, as well as the aftermarket top ends have comp releases.


Cleaned a buncha mung out of the saw, flipped the dawgs over (after stripping the spraypaint off of them), mounted a 28" B/C (only bar I have in this mount at the moment), and ran it a bit tonight.   It'll be in the working stable once I replace the bar plate and CB parts.  I'm going to pick up a 24" bar to run on it as well.  Here it is in the messy corner of the shop (LOL).

Looking good Aaron, I thought Husqvarna would have put spring anti vibe mounts on these late model '96 272s .
The 262 had it in '89 and the 394 in '92 .
But now that I think of it the 272s still made today and sold in the south Pacifac are still  rubber, if I'm not mistaken.

To the best o f my knowledge rubber mounts only for 61-268-272.  Do wish they had spring mts. tho.  Hard ones aren't to bad.
