    Description

    Read slowly and carefully to the end.
    Husqvarna 268 with 24 inch brand new Sugihara bar and 2 brand new Oregon chains.   Saw has new crank seals.  New oiler O ring.  New fuel line.  New Stens heavy duty pull string.  Ported muffler.  We tore the saw down to check cylinder for scoring and replaced the ring with a Caber ring.  The saw has low hours.  The clutch cover/ brake is aftermarket.  Has the original Malhe cylinder.  Saw compression is right at 145 psi and once the Caber ring is seated it may hit 160 psi or higher.  This saw does not have a decompression valve.  If your not strong enough or big enough to start this saw do not buy it.  This is not an XP model.
    You will get a 6 pack of Echo Red Armor oil.  This oil is superior to Stihl ultra and Husqvarna XP oil.  Cleans up any oil deposits in saw and leaves a nice oily residue inside crankcase and internal parts.
    Warning warning warning!!
    If your milling with a chainsaw you must remove the cylinder bolts one at a time and put Red Locktite on them and retorque them down.  If you do not know how to do this I would have a local chainsaw shop do it for you.  Obviously find someone that knows what their doing.  Now is not the time to be cheap or stupid.  Without the red Locktite you will shake the cylinder head loose and wreck the saw.
    Saw is tuned at 40:1 with  Red Echo oil.  You will need to mix your gas at 40:1.    No EPA or auto tune to slow this chainsaw down.
    Winter blend bar oil must be used in temps below 40 degrees.  I had a guy buy a saw last year and left it outside over night and then says the saw will not oil.  Yeah cause your bar oil is to thick.
    Why would anyone buy a used chainsaw from other sellers without a compression reading?  It's the only way to know what is going on inside the chain saw.  What's your time worth?
    Be aware that verbage like " runs strong"  " seems to be fine"  " very powerful"  means nothing.  It only takes 100 psi for a saw to start.  With that low of a reading I would suspect a scored piston and bad ring.
    Sold a saw to a guy in California just recently and he bought two bad saws from other sellers.  I sell quality saws.
    Anyone who uses Chinese aftermarket parts is doing you a huge disfavor.  The saw will not last long at all.  You might get a month or two of usage.  We only use Meteor aftermarket parts made in Italy.  They are considered by most saw rebuilders as better than new.
    If the saw does not have a serial number it's a Chinese knock off.  Don't believe some of the clowns on here saying their crankcase is brand new Stihl replacement it's not.  You can buy an MS660 clone kit for 8.80 currently.  Farmer Tec is the brand.  Total junk.
    If you think a saw should start on the first pull or should not leak a small puddle of bar oil that is being slung onto the chain,  you should probably do the world a favor and buy yourself a battery powered one.
    Pure-gas.org gives a State by state listing of gas stations that carry Ethanol free gasoline.
    Saw starts, runs, idles, oils.     It's been tuned to Minnesota altitude and carb may need adjustment upon arrival at its new home.  There are no refunds or returns do to idiots putting straight gas in a saw and scoring the piston.  Idiots that don't follow advice.  Amateurs who can not mount a bar and chain correctly.  Amateurs that put the chain on backwards and can't understand why the saw will not cut.  Amateurs that dip the bar and chain into dirt and can't figure out why the chain is dull in 3 seconds.  Idiots that don't understand corn syrup gas ( gas containing Ethanol) goes bad in 30 days that is why you should use Ethanol free or sometimes referred to as non ox gas. Corn syrup gas does not mix well with oil and you could burn up your saw.  Idiots that use Lawnboy oil as mix.    No buyers remorse refunds period.  If you think your returning this saw after you have cut down your favorite tree your sadly mistaken.  Go rent one from a local rental shop.
    Shipped same day if accepted offer is fully paid for by 2pm Minnesota time.   Shipped in one box.
    Occasionally I can not honor that because I do have a day job.  If your thinking of buying a saw it would be a great pleasure if you notified me a day ahead so I can prepare my shipping boxes.  I glue my boxes together and glue extra cardboard in bottom to achieve a very durable box.  If you own a tree service you can write the saw off on your taxes.  You can print off your own invoice for your records since I do not have a printer.  Shipped to lower 48 states ONLY.  Don't ask me to send anywhere else.  It will not happen.   Have a question send an email, I usually answer within 10 minutes.  When using a longer bar such as a 25 inch as the chain heats up it will stretch.  You should check the chain every 15 minutes or so.  When your done cutting loosen the chain if you do not you risk snapping the crankshaft because the shrinking chain will break it.  Think it's not possible?  Ask my mechanic.
    Shipped Fedex ground service.  NO P.O. BOXES.   Usually takes 2 to 4 days after payment is received based on the last 201 saws I have sold.    The reason I use Fedex is because on Nov 2nd 2017 USPS sent a saw that was going 400 miles to Oregon Wisconsin first to Washington DC then down to North Carolina then to Chicago with no explanation or answers.  20 days to go 400 miles.
    Check out my feedbacks there 100 percent positive.  If you don't like my terms don't buy the saw.  Sold as is.  No warranty.  No returns.
    Not responsible for chainsaws stolen off your steps.  Set up an email with Fedex.  As soon as they drop it an email alert can be sent and you will know it's sitting there within 2 to 3 minutes.  It works great.  A text alert can be achieved if you have a FedEx account.  It's free to open.  Easy to use.
    If the chainsaw or saw package is valued at 0 or more you will have to sign for it.  Plan on it.  It is not my rule.  It's theirs.  You can divert the saw to your work if that's easier.  You can do all kinds of things if you go on their website.
    FedEx is very reliable and I will not use any other shipping company.  Fedex is open Monday through Friday.  If you buy a saw on Saturday or Sunday it will ge shipped out Monday morning.
    Running and operating a chainsaw can be very dangerous.  I advise you to be sober and drug free.  The slightest mistake or miscalculation could be deadly.  Remember to keep the chain sharp.  I recommend letting a shop sharpen the chain.  I pay to have a chain sharpened.  It's best to have several chains that way you can take 3 or 4 in at a time and let a Pro sharpen them.   What's your time worth?
    The quickest way I know to score and ruin a saw is to run it with a dull chain.  You will score the clutch side of the cylinder from all the heat being created.
    If the deal sounds to good to be true it is.  I bought a MS660 with a 36 inch bar for 0 last year from a seller that had zero feedbacks.  Guess what the saw never came.  He managed to create a FedEx manifest showing that saw was sent from Turkey to Minnesota.  I went to Fedex and gave them the tracking number and had them print off all the info they had.  Well the kid had the weight of the saw at 1 pound.  That saw and bar would weigh 22 to 28 pounds total.  It took me 3 weeks to convince Ebay that this was a scam.
    Finally I am not a store front style business.  I have a day job.   I fix boilers.  Steam and hot water.  I also cut down trees for a fee.
