Larry1 i don't know how much they are worth, but i worked for a man in early 1990s that used one. He had very little trouble with it best i can remember, it cut good and seemed like a good saw. I wouldn't mind having one in good shape myself.

181 was introduced in 1982 and was a big milestone of development for Husqvarna.
One in good shape with a new b/c is worth $300CDN.

You got it :)
The reason I brought Canadian dollars is because the OP Larry is from Canada :laugh:

The 181 is an excellent saw. In the early 80's the 3 top pro Huskys were the 266, 181 and 2100, approx 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 CI respectively. We sold a pile of them. Check the closed auctions on Ebay to get an idea of value.
