Ok Men I got back to the 2260 here is what I have found this is a low hour saw. I got new bearings on the way the seal is were we hung up at.

Is this similar to a 562? Heard from a climber mate yesterday, his low hour 562 crapped a bearing too, don't know details tho

Does anyone see more pto bearings going bad over flywheel side bearings. I wonder if the very aggressive chains some of us run or the ham fisted opperators we all have seen cause some of pto bearing failures? Myself pto bearings are usually first to go on the ones ive had dealings with that had a bad bearing.

Them blown bearing happens now and then, low hour or medium hour saws, there isnt any system in it, isnt just the old 01 bearings either, I've seen blown bearings in low hour 560, year 2017, that saw had all the latest upgrades
I belive the main issue is how Husky choose to press in the bearings, they have introduced cold pressing tools for 572, wouldnt surprise me if they cold pressing bearings in all their saws (I've seen mag shavings in 550's before).

I use heat to seat bearings in the case. Should I not be doing this??? I’ve never seen mag shavings after an assembly but if there’s a better way I’m all ears.
