Still a beauty.

That is a nice clean saw.

I do not need a 272, I DO not need a 272, I DO NOT need another 272. Dang that thing is pretty! I repeat I DO NOT NEED OR WANT ANOTHER 272!

Hahaha...this 272 is still basically factory brand new and the cylinder has never been removed.
I bought it about 5 years ago from a tree work custoner of mine. His BIL bought it brand new in Jan.1994 (I got the original bill of sale). Then about a week or 2 later his BIL died of natural causes. So then the saw was left to him.
Every spring for 20 years he put some fresh mix in it and idled it for 5 minutes. Never had a bar and chain on it.
So I buy it 5 years ago and it didn't take me long to put it into some wood for the first time.
Only bucked up some clean hardwood with it as I was doing my tree removals with my 562XP. Enjoyed bucking with that 272 so much that I put about 5 tanks through it to date. Piston ring isn't even wore in yet.
I upgraded to a OEM HD air filter a couple of years ago. Ordered the kit right from my Husky dealer along with soft rubber mounts to replace the hard mounts in it. But never did swap them out.Still lots of OEM parts available through the Husky dealer.

I haven't advertised this 272 locally yet but thought I'd throw it on here first.
I can count on the back of my hand the trees I cut with it and they weren't very big because I had a 16" Husky b/c on it,
I just put the 20" and dogs on yesterday to have it ready for resale.

Was thinking any Canadians who were thinking of dropping CDN$ 1,356 at their dealer for a new 372XP-20".....might find CDN$ 800 more attractive for a this classic.
Here at Manitoba Husqvarna dealers $1356= 1170+ 30 setup+ 156 taxes.
$556 savings.
I'll pay the shipping across Canada. Don't know about the US due to the latest NAFTA news.

Whats the latest NAFTA news?
I know the first time around hurt my friends up there big time that was working at the tire makers plants.
-
If I was a collector type I would own it. It just needs to find the right home.

I'm not sure what the latest changes are to the free trade agreement. But the days of freely sending stuff back and forth across the US/Canadian border may soon come to an end.
I remember the days I had to pay customs fees and delays....might be going back to that.
-
Dammit. I do not need to spend any more money on saws......
-
I am glad I have two 272's already. Keeps that urge down some.

I have a good 272XP runner on crappy cases and tank. Have a good used set of cases and a good tank that I'm going to swap everything over to (while replacing bearings, seals, and ring while it's apart). Also have what will be a very nice 268XP after I go through it as well as a very nice looking/running 266XP.
Also have a Husky 365 waiting for rebuild (with a 75cc XPW top end) as well as a new chinese "MS365" saw 'repair parts kit' (gift from a friend) to put together, an NOS 2071 that's waiting for replacements for the parts previously pilfered from it, a very strong Poulan 4000, a Poulan Pro P375, Two Mac PM700's, a Mac 7-10A, and a Mac SP-70. I think I'm set for 70cc class saws... 8)

I'll probably end up selling the 272 local as the 550 I just sold is coming back bringing more business. The new owner bought some more chain and a longer bar. He also threw me a $20 bill to touch up the chain with a file while he watched. ;D
395XP is being looked at tomorrow, could have sold it yesterday but a change of plans with my kid's school activities.
-
I remember when you bought that 272 IIRC you fitted it w/16" BC for limbing saw.

Yep with all the enthusiasm I had back then with the 372-272 debates I was trying to improve on my 272.
I replaced those heavy dual dogs with a single aluminium smooth bumper. Removed the lead weight wedge out of the chain brake levet, lost close to a lb. right there.
But I put it back in storage, had plans for Simon Bertrand to build it into a race saw.
But he was getting surgery on his wrists and turned it down.
I put the 272XP on the local buy and sell last night along with the 395XP. Lowered the price to $700 as I'm asking $800 for the 395.
Here's a pic.

Wish they would hurry up and sell. ;) I mean that in a good way. Feel like the pics keeping pulling the trigger finger. :D

Yeah it's a tough time of the year to sell stuff.
Right after Christmas and income tax refund checks aren't out yet.

I got 3 saws on the hold pattern for guys waiting on those income tax returns.
Matter fact got mine done yesterday. Got a nice chunk back again. :o Only reason IMO is a still have kid in college. So get some credits there. But that ends in May.
