Also have a Husky 288 that was given to me, fella found it in the ditch on a highway roadside, told me it started, but bogged when the throttle was applied... Worked pretty well, once the chain brake was reset...

I have an 034 Stihl, almost 40 years old. It has cut through well over a 100 cords of our local hardwoods. Made in West Germany. The original bar it came with, since replaced of course, was made right here in Canada.
