Farmertec crankshafts

[Gord]

Just wondering about the quality of these and also the long term of how they stand up, specifically 372xps or recommendations for non-OEM

 

[Definitive Dave]

not a fan, though there are plenty in use in the kit saws out there, I would go with OEM if possible or New West Products if you need aftermarket for crankshafts.

Chinese FT 361 crank lasted about 10 tanks fir a local tree guy

Thanks for the info, will stay away from them then, most of my saws go out of the shop for professional use so I want them to last.

Tecomec 361 crank looked decent. Never ran one in a work saw. Never ran an AM crank yet.

Not that often I need one,most of the time they are in pretty good shape but the odd time too worn out overheated, being in logging area most of my saws are from 372-395 range and do have a lot of parts saws and rebuilders on hand.

No worries....your good....skip AM cranks.

So what's your favorite legal muffler mod?

I have a NIB(new in bag) FT 372 crank in the barn. I will never use it, I can send it anywhere just pay shipping.

There is your new test victim.

Got a new one or 2 in my crank box and won't get used either - muffler, one on either side of the muffler, about a 5/8-3/4 hole drilled through, usually braze on 2 more scoops with spark arrestors in them for the 390s and usually one extra for the 372 making sure it's high enough to clear the casing.

The eff'd up thing is, someone can probably buy it and have it shipped over from FT cheaper than I can ship it across country.

Not sure if a tecomec crank is the same quality as a farmertec but the one I had bent within a few months use on a ported 372xpw. I don’t abuse saws either. Wouldn’t use one again.

There is old tecomec from when they made chainsaw parts and had a quality line and the new tecomec parts from where they sold out the name for chainsaw parts and they are just the cheapest chinese parts available

Thanks for the info, I probably had one of the chinese ones.
