    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    Saves tons of time! Of course it's a lesson learned after wasting plenty of time fussing with a wiped saw. Even quicker check was to pull the plug and have a look with the stylus light.

    Yeah, you're on top of it. (not sure your dealer is) When dealing with running changes, you have to go by serial numbers when ordering parts.

    Husqvarna 562XP - A Tale of Woe

    Make sure they are on the aware of this service bulletin when selecting your parts. This bearing change was accompanied by a crankcase change and they do not interchange. As you can see, this was a change in the original 562. Has nothing to do with Mark 1 or Mark 2.

    Well ya know, I really did own a 1970 Roadrunner. And we actually did sell the fork truck this week. The rest of the post may contain "exaggerations".

    Gotta be careful on alibaba fellas and read the fine print. If you type in 372 chainsaw, you will get a comical amount of saws in different colors with creative brand names. Found one in a more vibrant green that was very close to the 1970 Plymouth Sub-Lime on an old roadrunner I once had...

    I could just sleep in the jeep if I wanted. Did it a couple times. Need some nicer weather for something like that though.

    Gonna take your history suggestion and do something with it. Put it in the brand specific section since that's where most of the old saw info has been cataloged. But it won't be just saw and industry history. Everybody here has some saw history of their own with plenty of good stories to share.

    Well Bill, you've never had my chili, have ya? 😆 I don't know about ported, but it's definitely high compression. Don't know how the trend got started, but eating during hang out time never seemed to interfere with the saw play. Everybody'd bring something to cook on the fire. Big GTG's would...

    Was about to pull the trigger on that Hnsvrqua 365 for $109, but the shipping is from China and $81, so I bagged that idea. Not like I needed it.

    Husqvarna 51 Needs New Piston/Cylinder and TLC

    How is this project coming along? @82f100swb has all the various options impressively nailed down. I do have a 51 with the 490 kit, and it's a quick little saw. The Partner/Jonsered top ends are hard to find, and while they do run well, it's not as if the saw isn't worth building without one...
