My uncle bought a 268 brand new in 96, had it modified up. He used it for a couple years cutting minimal wood then chucked it in his shed cause it was to heavy for him. We got talking last year and he said he had a saw which I could have. When I got it and pulled the cover's off and it looks literally brand new under all the cover's. Chucked some fresh fuel in it and a couple pulls and it fired up after 13 years of sitting in the shed. It is an amazing old chain saw.
Fellled trees for about 30 years. The most powerful saw I ever had was the 268xp, but you had to make sure you had a spare clutch every 6 months. The most reliable saw I ever had was the 266xp, and before that was the 162. All brilliant saws.
With that metal chain brake, I'm guessing early 80's. Love the content, keep it coming. Look forward to them weekly your in my top 5. Thanks for all your hard work. 😃👍
Thats a very nice clean saw.its never seen the inside cab of a skidder lolo.one more thing just for fyi chainsaws are rated by hourly usage and pro saws have maganese crankcase just like these you have again good info thank you
I just built a 268. I had a minor air leak. It was coming from the oil pump side seal. I didnt know that the oil pump side seal needed to hang a bit out of the oil pump towards the crankshaft bearing . It did not seat deep enough on the crankshaft

A good find, would be madness to use it for parts I think. Hopefully another parts saw turns up.
Yeah I'm sure one will show up, ill just be patient.

Tinman I have a black tag 266se and I’m wondering if a 272xp crank and flywheel will work with my 2 coil 266? Thank you sir
How did you get on with the 268, I've had mine for 34 years, and she still runs like new
How many have decomp valves?
