372 Trigger

[Adirondackstihl]

Got a tree service 372 here in need of trigger replacement.
No idea how they broke it, but it’s broke.
I have a new one here to replace it, just can’t figure out how to get the sumbitch in the handle.
HELP

I’ve done them, let me think a bit.

Knock out the roll pin and everything comes out easily.

Knock out the roll pin and everything comes out easily.

Yeah
I’m past that point.
I was installing the new one.
I got it in there.

Note to anyone doing this in the future....
You must remove the operator presence lever before installing the new trigger!

 

[Stihlbro]

That is what I remember and getting the spring around the trigger is.......well......tricky.

 

[PogoInTheWoods]

The spring just slides into place on the left side of thetrigger and there's a specific spot on the presence lever for it also. Pretty easy once you figure it out.

And I hate to do this, but...LOL

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I musta gotten it right cuz everything is workin

 

[huskyboy]

There a pain the first time, but after you do them a few times it’s easy.

I seem to have done this 2 or 3 times, and every time I have to re-figure it out because I have forgotten how since the last time was so long ago.
