Stihl ultra

Stihl bearings are in and the crank rotates silky smooth.

Tomorrow I'll fire it up and see what happens.

Mastermind, dominator...what's next ?

 

[Rich Fife]

Well, it runs with the stihl bearings and .075" shims.... I guess the next question is, for how long?

That’s good unfortunately to actually be able to say the metal cages made difference you’d need to run it 50:1 and see if or how long it makes it. They survive at 32:1 with factory bearings unfortunately it the metal ones fail at 50:1 you may have a catastrophic failure.

Any good oil.

I ended up tossing in Stihl nylon bearings.

if the metal ones fail at 50:1 you may have a catastrophic failure.

When bearings fail, it's never good. There's always damage sometimes things are salvageable other times there not, doesn't matter if it's steel caged or nylon.

Perfect for the husky saws, being we all know they are nothing but boat anchors. Right @dall ?

@Rich Fife
If David only has one of those my Brother-in-law has a line on these if you need. Definitely more durable than OEM.

Our 10” hard bushings for the 40 yd shovel buckets at work only have 7-10 thousandths press but I have kinda messed with what you’re doing there. Heat the ears up with a rose bud and freeze the bushings. Fresh rebore on ears we can usually just freeze the bushings but after they change enough bushings they get nicked with the air arc and seem to also go out of round so heating the bore on a used one helps give a bit more room.
