Big power in a small package. As for reliabilty, depends on
where you live and what you did with them. Down here in the
limbs cranks and pistons were a good seller.

They were light and powerful, the one I owned seemed to lack the
grunt to run a 20" bar running
3/8" chain, it was fine with a 18".

Over rated saw IMHO. Stock or stock with muffler mod wasn't all
that. I didnt like the way they felt in my hands bucking
firewood.
Compared to a poulan for fun .

Granted the poulan may not last like the 262 day after day.

Putting that together must be a lot of work, as they belong to
totally different saw families. ???

You must not have a big enough hammer, anything can be made to
fit with a proper sized hammer. ;D

;) Yep I have heard of 272 crankshaft put in 3 cube husky saws
at the races before. The one I heard of sure didnt sound like
your normal 3ci in the cuts.

All of the saws that have achieved "legend" status are overated.
They are certainly good, and at the top of their class as well.
But the idea that any of these saws far outshine their
competition is mostly hype. I've seen guys post that the 262
will run with a 372. That's just silly.
262 is a great saw for sure. My favorite saw in the 60cc class
is the Jonsered 630 Super. Dolmar 116SI is another real good
saw. All good; ought to have one of each!!

I think what happened to me Spike was I read all the hype and
was expecting to be just blown away by it in the cut etc.
It is a great saw and well built. I was just expecting to much
and it turned out to be just like the other 59cc-62cc saws I've
ran.
Something about the rear handle angle felt different in my
hands, but would be something I could get used to.
Since I had so many saws in this range already and it was a
trade in on a bigger saw a 3120, it didnt take me a hot second
to find a buyer of the clean like new 262xp. It was like the
guys 6th one or something he said.
