Husqvarna 281XP Back from the DEAD!

[@larrywarner9314]

The 281 288 both had that heavy duty spring in the front

[@coreycorp7048]

You’re 281 is a 1987 model, the coils are not limited but the carb is governed and there easy to un govern. There should be a throttle stop on the intake block that the throttle arm hits when the carb it bolted up. And the saw on Tool Time sure looks like a 3120 to me .

[@Houseworksaws]

Absolutely 3120

[@lucasgroesbeck1447]

Agreed it is without a doubt a 3120xp

[@ShanePhillips-mv7bi]

87 is anniversary year metal chain brake to

[@coreycorp7048]

@@ShanePhillips-mv7bi1989 was the 300th anniversary year.

[@Houseworksaws]

181/281 is the $hit! Love them old saws.. 3120xp Binford tools.. 3120 had 4 slats on the chain brake handle

[@larrywarner9314]

Lot of people don't like the 281 or 288 but I'm hear to tell you built by the rite person those saws are a beast and run great .

[@imperfectcuts7028]

That front antivibe mount is to help stiffen the saw up. 288xp without that mount can be a bit of a loose noodle

[@antoniomorgado5304]

I have a 1989 61 husqvarna with same two part ignition and a til carb and runs good! Very strong! No rebuilds yet!

[@eriklong6390]

Watching with great interest

[@novicelumberjack]

Thanks for the visit

[@imperfectcuts7028]

The 200 series 80cc saw started with the 181se. There are technically 4 saws on that chassis if you include the 288xp lite as it's own model.

4:25 that reaction 😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆

[@eriklong6390]

I love the 200 series husqvarnas. So simple to work on.

[@austindenotter19]

Very reliable bulletproof saws.

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

found your channel not long ago. im just getting into power saws myself. learning as i go. great content keep up the hard work

[@poparamiro]

Very nice!

[@IowaPerformanceSaws]

Cool saw. Neat to think how many fellers and landings ran one of those just stacking logs for years.

[@Doc-Cole_Trickle-of-Chainsaws]

It cleaned up really nice!👍🆙 BigGuy

[@ScrewdriverTUNING]

Pretty cool great work boedy.

[@eurokid83]

That broken shaft is preventing the throttle from fully opening. Definitely gotta replace that. I’d love to find a nice 281 or 288. Been keeping my eye open for one. Nice score!

[@thef1sh17]

I have a Jonsered 820 which is the same bore and stroke. It's a killer, super smooth and torquey. It's just weirdly designed though. Takes a lot from partner.

[@wompwomp9]

Thats a sweet saw.

[@stihlms400cm3]

Totally on the ball, Matt DigginNH, plus you will see the air filter cover is held in place by a screw in mechanism on top of the cover, most definitely Husqvarna 3120xp, l own one with a Cannon 50in. Superbar, I know my children,😂❤

[@lukereynolds9907]

Nice very nice I thought your intro was a pisstake before I watched that vidya hahaha cracked up man

[@rebeccarobinson7024]

Old saw I used to have wish still had was my 266se

[@aaronpowell4885]

What an awesome, sorta accidental find!

[@cajun3197]

Nice work Boedy!

[@novicelumberjack]

Thanks Pat! Nice work on your channel as well. You've really been posting a lot lately. Oh, and you keep misspelling my name. No worries, it's a weird one. Here's how my momma explained it to me, and maybe it will help you to remember: "Well, I just figured...Bo sounds like Joe, and that's spelled with a J-O-E...so, that's what I did. I spelled it B-O-E...and then I just added the D-Y at the end. Boedy. Worked didn' it!?" This is literally how she explained it to me when I asked, no joke.

[@cajun3197]

[@barryrichardson3661]

the pin holding the plastic throttle leaver is loose this happens over time with the 288 and 281 it just a matter of lining the pin up and slotting it back into place

[@Houseworksaws]

They are the preferred race saw and are ridiculously fast..Silver tag is 80’s black tag is 90’s

[@offroad4x4nhlife45]

Well hello neighbor NH here as well!!

[@Revellersaws]

288xp front mount seems like a bandaid to me. Long bars wreak havoc on a big saw, so Husky slaps an extra doohickey to stiffen things. I leave it on mine mostly for the conversation starter.

[@Revellersaws]

My jonsered 80 and my 281 are the hardest pulling saws I own. Can't just throw and yank, I have to get the handle under a knee and start at the compression point.

[@alexstromberg7696]

So envy of you us guys with saws, 70cc saws are everywhere and cheap enough. Here if someone sells a 372, 288 or something like it they want 500 and up and you have you be super fast to buy it

[@leo-.-258]

Same here

[@EcSsAwS]

Saw in the show is a 3120 You can see in the photos you posted the full wraps on a 394 is NOT the same the factory wrap handle on the 94 is very round and connects right at the top. The wrap bar in the show sits down further and more square shape. Like a 3120 full wrap. Also. Can you just tell the physical size of the saw. It’s most certainly a 3120

[@treeassassin8833]

That's animal needs a Muffler mod lol

[@novicelumberjack]

Yes it does! And heaps of other stuff too! I'm considering full out race saw for this thing and start actually racing in events.

[@nmancini]

I’ve got a very rare John Deere 80EV from my father years and years ago I want to bring back to life. Any chance you’ve come across one or it’s twin the Echo 750EVL?

[@novicelumberjack]

Never came across one of those, but I did have one of the echo twin cylinder saws for a while. It was neat.

[@nmancini]

@@novicelumberjack supposedly the v-twin makes it comfortable to run. But in comparison to saws these days I’m sure it’s under powered for its size

[@barryrichardson3661]

you will find the pin perfect save you buying one if its ok hope this helps

[@rebeccarobinson7024]

Yap go from fugly to not so

[@Jesusiskingamen7]

Crazy to me how people sell a saw like this if it was cleaned up and break straightened it would have brought another 150 bucks

[@james-im1sj]

Is that youuuuu Blake Shelton

[@novicelumberjack]

I'm his better looking, younger brother.

[@troy3052]

nice saw, but I think my MS170 PROFESSIONAL will beat it

[@chainsawcanuck]

Those are great saws, used to have one.. Kick my self for selling it

[@eriklong6390]

That is probably an 87’ model

[@novicelumberjack]

Yeah, your probably right. Good to see you back to posting on this channel. You took a bit of a break.

[@eriklong6390]

Yeah life happens. But I always manage to throw you a thumbs up even when I can’t comment. Just took down a 30 inch wide Ash up here in Pennsylvania with my 395xp this morning after your video. Damn emerald ash bore is tearing them up something awful. Can’t wait for your next video Boedy!

[@thef1sh17]

carb shouldn't be governed, put a kit and new fuel filter on it and it will wake up.
