That bad boy looked ruff and worn out but you made it look almost new and cut like butter. Glad you feeling better, prayer for Yuvonca 🙏I hope she gets better soon.

@@ourkentuckyhome771 great saw buddy 👍, I've just got a new 565, loads of low down torque and long useful powerband through the revs, prefer it to my 572xp, that just hits full chat straight away 🤣 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Nice....

The 550 is a great saw! I’ve owned the 545/550/550mk2 but still like the 346 better. I build and port saws and out of all the saws I’ve had the 346/359&372 is the ones I’ve kept

This is the 1st 550 I've got ahold of, I'm really surprised how snappy it is and the torque for a smaller cc is really nice. I had a 359 for years and it was a work horse. My 562 has taken its place now.

@@ourkentuckyhome771 I’ve ran a lot of 550/555/562 working for Asplundh! Really good saws as long as you don’t run them really hard. The nylon cage isn’t very strong in the bearings

Does the mark 2 have the same crank seal setup? I know the saw was basically redesigned

👍

How old is this saw? If anybody can get this thing shining, it will be you!!! Wow!! That’s impressive!!! It’s funny when you rev it up it sounds like it’s saying “Liar liar!!” Maybe I was hearing things.🤔

Actually I seen the I D plate but didn't bother to look at manufacture date. I will look at it tomorrow. Oh I'm just getting started on the restoration, I just knocked the grime off it. Now comes the fun part. Making it look as good as it runs.

What did you have in the spray bottle? Soap and water? 409? Simple green? She cleaned up very nice!!! Have you heard that Husqvarna is supposed to stop making gas powered equipment and "go green" by switching battery power? My Local Lowe's and TSC have their stock marked down quite a bit! I think Lowe's has a new 545XP for a little over $500.

Barry, I use Awsome and Purple Power from dollar general. It works fantastic and much less than simple green. I have heard Husqvarna is going green with lawn mowers, hadn't heard anything about all their saws. I'm super impressed with the power and speed of the 550xp. I have ported muffler on the way along a few other goodies for it. Going to try to restore as close to original looks as possible.
