Husqvarna 262 XP Chainsaw! It Was FREE! Let's Find Out Why It Was Given Away!

This Husky 262XP was dropped off at my shop for repair.

The customer states: I was given this saw for free. Please look it over and see if it will run.

Scott from the Greasy Shop Rag is the perfect person to answer your questions. He is terrific at working on the Husqvarna chainsaws and is extremely knowledgeable on their problems and how to properly fix them. He can turn to you for answers on questions he might have on Stihl saws.

I've got a 575 XP I bought new 2004, it's been my main girl for a long many years until I got the 500i. I still take it out from time to time just to keep fresh gas in it. I love that saw.

You are in for a treat when you get this saw running. Hot rod saws for sure.

[thebradleysoncatbirdhill]

You are rolling!💪
I'm beyond impressed with how you are pumping out these videos. I've always felt the 262XP was one of the most under appreciated saws Husqvarna ever made!

Would be a 262XPG With the heated grip. More heated grips in the Pacific Northwest and Canada than on the east coast here. I bought my 262 for $200 at a tractor show. No scores, want to port it and hop it up. A real nice saw!

I got a used 268 and threw a big bore kit on it, one of my favourite saws now

The husky's are good saws i had two away back in the day, used to work in forestry commision had a 254 XP excellent for speed cutting, and had a 266 XP i am now retired sold my 266 XP to a friend whe i retired who i worked with, i knew he would look after it, but kept my 254 XP still have it to this day wont part with it, still runs tight, both saws never let let me down, just new chain if i didden't feelike shapening my own, and new filters and the odd barr, , that was over a period of 15 years, love my 254 XP the best though. In my day the clutch springs on the stihll saws had a habbit of breaking or comming off, seen it happen quite a few times with other guys who where using stills, , , but as i say that was away back in the day, anyway allways enjoy your videos....

It is nice to see everything can't be saved!!

I have never seen a chainsaw beeing so damaged, ever. No wonder it was free!

I like your videos. I dont know that much about the tecnical stuff, very interesting to see how you fix it. The most serious thing which has happned to my chainsaws was an oil pump I had to change.

Enjoy that coffee ☕️, you deserve it ! Love your stove at beginning of the vid. Brings such warmth ✨️

Awesome videos Erica, yes please on the recoil rope repair videos...

[ronbeatty]

That saw was used up. It gave all it had. We did indeed learn why it was free. Thanks for another chainsaw adventure. We love the videos but please pace yourself. We don't want you to burn yourself out. You have a full time job fixing saws. Stay well!

[iamdurin]

I wouldn’t mind seeing the hedgetrimmer.

[CHRnorton]

So happy to see you do repairs, I have a friend in Texas with a Stihl 261 and am able to give him advice on it because of you! Thank you for your work!

Before the 372 came out, the 262 was one of my favorite saws.

[chrisdaniel]

The XP's are Husqvarna's professional saws with magnesium cases vs plastic cases on homeowner saws. The XP's also had higher HP for the same displacement compared to homeowner saws. Very good quality saws
