Not So Pro 3

[Mastermind]

One thing I recently went through with Husqvarna is now when you order a regular 6202/6203 type bearing you no longer get a skf in a box. rather a generic bearing in a bag with no markings on the bearing but the part ticket says Italy as the country of origin. They are also half the price of the skf. Comparing the two the new one from Husqvarna has not the fit or finish as the real deal. It's a deal breaker for me, the whole reason I bought bearings from Husqvarna was to ensure a genuine skf was procured and a counterfeit not gotten. For myself, shipping saws all over creation, I want the best and marked as such.
I confirmed this as much as by buying right straight from Husqvarna after getting them from the parts supply, and then order skf by name from a bearing supplier.

I just ordered bearings for a 395XP from Husqvarna. I'll let you know what shows up.

Is Nikasil magnetic?

Not in this 3120 jug on my bench.

Mildly magnetic in the 395 jugs.

The 3120 I saw looked like chrome plating to me.

What you say seems reasonable based on what I could order from Ahlsell (SKF Dealer) in Norway, and I ordered a week ago from them.
Before, 5 years ago, I could buy SKF 6202 C3VG104 from them, now I was told that SKF had stopped supplying VG104.
It seems that Husqvarna has changed suppliers, at least SKF is out of the 550mkII.

My tree guy has 6 of them on his saw truck, never had one in for a bearing fail. If those guys can't break 'em, I don't know who can.

damn slackers dont do much lol

Nikasil can be magnetic, but isn’t always. Hard chrome plating would not be magnetic. Not sure if this helps.

Evening’ folks. Installed new winter Bosch wiper blades on my truck, the old ones were really old and the new ones work much better. Topped off oil and coolant. No slacking tonight. Even checked the power steering fluid.

I don’t like winter blades. The wind can’t get through them and they skip or flop around on the windshield on the highway.

I'll try and remember to get a pic of the box I got from the internet, could have been still stocked?

Someone has a NIB 3120 at the GTG, I almost thought it looked like a white box cylinder. It was cheap looking on the inside.


Random fact: I found the plating in a farmertec cylinder to be magnetic. Is Nikasil magnetic?

know me not.

Good morning sloth,

I've been thinking, and Randy and others has encouraged me, so here I am.

This week has been full, picked up my wife at the airport Monday, she came home from Singapore after visiting her parents, they are 90 and 92 years old. Mother has become very demented.

Tuesday training.

Wednesday, hunting with Øsa.

Today I'm going to MaskinSalg to pick up parts.

Later, more posts

Welcome back to the 3 ring circus,train wreck whatever you want to call this place

So you hauled in what could have become a whiskey still, meth lab or bomb shelter..

Either one of the first two would buy more non running saws and lawnmowers
