254XP Rebuild

[Adamski]

Yeah I guess I'm weird...LOL! I've been in this 2-series chassis a lot lately and missing parts jump out at me.

It’s missing two av rubbers, felling dog, dead mans trigger return spring, piston and ring. From what I can see.

Here is the oem nos crankshaft set.

Whoop!

So a question for all you Husky boys... what spikes fit a 254 apart from the obvs being the same chassis saws, the 50,51 and 55’s.. will a 346 et all fit with some mods? Basically the UK is not great for 254 spares...

I put a 455/460 Rancher spike on a 50 Special, with very little modification as I recall.

I believe a 357/359 spike will fit with no mods.

Brilliant, as Josh says this does look good.

Great, I’ll look for a 455 or 357 and see how it goes. Cheers [emoji482]

If a 357 spike fits with no mods then here is a 372 spike on a 2159 with a little grinding

I put a set of those on my 357, I really like them. Perfect size and doesn’t eat up hardly any extra bar compared to the stock dog.

You are right about that and you get a roller chain catcher too.

Quick question guys, I have this OEM NOS crankshaft kit. But the bearings in the kit although really nice items and smooth as butter are unbranded. Is this the norm with old original stuff circa this era? I’m not sure it is...

I’ve seen it but only on bearings I’ve removed from older saws. Must be how they marked them back then.
