Rod,

I am told that Poulan makes the smaller Husky's but am not positive about that--just heard that from someone local. I first used Poulan saws back in '69--after Hurricane Camille. Back then they were a bright lime green color and I remember they were a good saw. They used to be made in Shreveport, LA, but don't know where they're made now. Back to your question, I think just about all the lightweight saws are not too great on durability--with a very thin liner surface over the aluminum bore. For light work, you'd probably be OK, but if you're cutting like we do, I'd go for something a little more durable.
Whenever I see remanufactured chain saws for sale, I always have visions of some city boy putting straight gas in the tank and running it 'til it seizes up and then returns the saw as defective. The factory gets them back and does whatever they can do to resell them as "remanufactured". Why else would the discount places have truckloads of these saws for sale?
