Setting Bearing Depth

[angelo c]

I think it would work.

I guess the answer is how does it effect the oiler ?

how does the proprietary bearing affect the oiler ? got to go dig one out to check..(I got a 1128 apart now)

The oiler and bearing mate at the seat. Too far out, the oiler is impeded by the outer race or seal. Too far in, and the bearing could interfere with the crank.

If it was far enough away and the oiler and worm gear had enough clearance, well I don't think the oiler would be affected at all. Hmmm...

I use a old oil pump is use to seat the bearing against on that series of saw the 266 that is.

We all know (or will soon) how important it is to set the proper crank bearing depth on certain saws. Especially the 044/440, where using the oil pump as a positive bearing stop is necessary.

That being said, I will soon be assembling a 266XPee.
I'm unsure, so I'm gonna ask......is there a proper depth at which to set the bearings here? It's been over or close to a year or so since I split the cases and removed the bearings. I can't remember the depth or if that is important.
Normally......on most saws where depth isn't pertinent, I'll set them flush with the inside of the case.

Timely question. Just got my 266 back from the powder coater today.

266 should be the same as a 630/670, and the bearing will be flush with the inside of the case.

Iv'e got a 670 box o parts to put together one of these days, so this is something I need to know too.
This is the same chasis as the 266. Service manual says flush with inside on PTO side.

The seal on the FW side of a 266 actually bolts on. I'm not certain these procedures can be applied to a 266.

@Adirondackstihl you need a workshop manual for the 266?

Does it go in the oiler?

On the PTO side, yes.
It's a messed up sh!tty Swedish design.
It goes into a carrier on the FW side.
I'll text ya some pics later.

Same as a 288 then. Easy to change really.
