Husqvarna 394xp ... splitting a case without a splitter!

[Mattyo]

Thanks to JMSSAWS for the idea.... figured I'd do a vid. it was his idea. ...

Through the past years I've watched at least 10 case splitting videos and I'm pretty sure every single one involved a missed case screw. lol
Great video.

Did it work?

I was just about to ask about removing the bearings from the crank, then I watched the second half of the vid.. LOL! I have the Husky crank splitter tool for non-stuffer saws, but that won't work for the stuffer saws. Your method using heat and a bearing puller would work perfect for stuffer saws if one doesn't want to buy the stuffer saw case splitters. I've been told one stuffer case splitter does not work on all stuffer models, there are a couple different pullers. This looks like the solution for the average Joe who might only need to split a stuffer case occasionally.

Thanks for posting!

And don't feel bad about the case screw, first 394 I split I did not remove the inner bucking dog and missed the screw hidden underneath it.

Yea.... this works just fine.


I destroyed a 262xp case by missing the screw under the dog...or...not thinking those WERE case bolts lol

Nice video! If you put a little never-seize compound on the tip and on the threads of your puller it will create a lot less friction making it easier to turn the jack bolt. Handyman tip of the day

Never seize, couple drops of motor oil, just about anything along those lines makes it easier... Good tip

Nice video Mattyo. I use a impact to bump the jack bolt alil. Much easier than a wrench

The whole "impact" thing has its place in applications like this. The rattle helps nearly as much as the pull

 

[Mattyo]

I usually use my impact . ..I dunno why I didn't


Nice tip on the anti sieze.

I can take a q-tip size drop of anti seize and have it on everything in the shop!

Quick bump of the impact, or a smack on the jack bolt head with a hammer after some pressure has been applied

Dude your smoke alarm got me thought it was here at my place

It must be scientifically formulated to do that! I use it almost everyday at work and I find it behind my ears, on my socks, on my money clip in my pocket. I mean seriously, how is that possible!?
