It's not that big of a deal, little extra paperwork on our side.Almost worth it for you guys to just ship a saw from the USA when you want to buy one. Probably a pain though.
The 51.4 mm cylinder kits are NLA. The wrap handle wil be around for a while, but as this is the older OE saw, there is no super $30 deal on a complete XPW kit.
Be careful if ordering those 51.4's from places that say they can still get them. The system is accepting orders and then superseding the part # to the single ring 371 top end. (There ya go Mason!). They really ought to just spit it back as NLA and avoid any confusion.
Yes Mike. Part number is 503 691 271.
Pricey though at $94 vs $169 for the complete top end, cause Husky never lowered their piston prices along with the cylinder kits a couple years ago. Don't know of any aftermarket pistons that are single ring.
Yup ran into that same problem with the xpw cylinders finally called Husqvarna and they said nla. Same thing goes for non xtorq 50mm 372 oem cylinder kits they have been back ordered since late november. Probably nla too now

They have plenty in stock now. This kit will be around for a number of years as the saw was just discontinued and there are still plenty of them out there on shelves still to be sold. Nothing to worry about here.
Even non xtorq 372 oem cylinders as that’s what is back ordered not the xtorq ones

How are people taking the transition to the 572 Bob? People have cold/nervous feet or are they accepting the change decently? I'm sure once they get some time on it they are good with change but finding it difficult to convert hardcore 372'ers?
BobPretty much been accepted at this point Mark, now that it's had the time to earn a good reputation. Been out almost a year now. When it arrived last Feb there was the typical run by guys who had been waiting for it. But there were a lot of guys who burned up early 562's that did take a wait and see attitude and I don't blame them at all. But they have warmed up to buying them as the reports from guys they know are all good. But you are right about the 372 being a legacy saw that guys won't want to let go of. We'll be hearing that for the next 20 years. LOL

That's good to hear Bob. We have those same "ew it's different; kill it..." people around here. Some people curse of change, some embrace it.Pretty much been accepted at this point Mark, now that it's had the time to earn a good reputation. Been out almost a year now.

Pretty conservative in that 20 year estimate Bob...lolPretty much been accepted at this point Mark, now that it's had the time to earn a good reputation. Been out almost a year now.

Now days with all the aftermarket products I can see them living on for a long time and many guys enjoying building them for that long, heck there are plenty of guys still building 2 series saws.Pretty conservative in that 20 year estimate Bob...lol
There's guy's here that will ship you sawsI will be keeping my 61 and 372 running for as long as I can get parts for them. Here in Australia the 572 is $1,989.00Rec. retail price incl GST, the 562 xp $1,739.00Rec. retail price incl GST and the 395 is $2,299.00Rec. retail price incl GST. I would love a 3120 but just don't use a saw often enough to warrant the cost plus my poor old back just isn't up to the task of hanging off one for more than 5 minutes at a time.

A lot cheaper than you can buy them in
