What’s shop rate there$ were at 69$ an hour local husky a Stihl shops

Pffftt. The largest Stihl dealer here is at $95/hr. Hence the name Landrapers supply. The others are at $80-85. Crazy talk

I’ve wrestled with the 572 vs 500i for quite some time now. Xpg $900 , 500i $1600 plus tax on both. So I just keep running my ported 2171’s and 046/460’s. I really want the weight reduction which would point toward the stihl. Husky dealers are all gone in my area. One switched over to echo because he couldn’t pass the cost of the software $3000 he said, onto his customers.

 

[lehman live edge slab]

3000$ for the software? Thought the husky software and cables was only a few hundred dollars in the US so I can see Canada being more but not 5 times more

 

[woodfarmer]

That’s what he said...

 

[woodfarmer]

Correction $1500, my bad.

I just serviced a couple of 572's and readied them to go logging up in the Yoop this winter. One thing I found that griped my posterior was the spark wire boots, I couldn't pull them off. The little coil that makes contact on the plug electrode end were attached like a pit bull on an intruders hind end. Had to pry them off with a screwdriver(crude) and had a tough time of it at that. They came with regular NGK BPMR7A plugs which go on pert near everything. With the lack of a better idea at the time, I placed a tad of grease on the plug end before placing the boot back on.
Drum sprocket bearings were bone dry as they could not be greased with a greaser tool by the user and they aren't going to take the time to take them apart to grease them manually.
Wasn't all bad, air filter's were in excellent condition considering the amount of use. Otherwise just changed rims, fuel filter and spark plugs and they are good to go.

Cadillac Dealers were asked to anty up $200K to remain a Caddy Dealership including the prep for the EV cars on their way. Many said screw you to GM and are dropping the Cadillac brand. Talk about out of control.

I was running my new 572xp this past weekend, and on my 4th tank of gas, it quit oiling. I finally had a chance this evening to dig in and see what was wrong. What I found was a broken arm on the oil pump worm gear. As a long standing Husky fan, I can say I am disappointed. Hopefully this isn’t a sign of things to come.

Here is a side by side comparison of the bad worm gear vs. good from my old 572.

I'm gonna venture to say that is caused by summer weight bar oil used in cold conditions. That thick oil causes alot of pump load. If that is what you were using of course

4 consecutive tanks ?

 

[Mastermind]

Installed wrong from the factory. Wasn't in the notch I'd wager.

 

[farminkarman]

4 consecutive tanks ?

No, it was on the 4th tank since new. I ran two tanks through it a couple weeks before, and I was on my second this past weekend when I realized I wasn’t getting oil

so it had a warm case so oil wasnt the factor
im with randy it wasnt put in the groove and made the inner diameter sloppy as shown in picture

I run the Husky all season oil...it isn’t very thick. I have run my other 572 with it in 20 degree temps and I have ~ 10 gallons through that saw.

Back when the 371xp had a plastic oiler gear, once a week I would replace those in the winter, untill I diluted my bar oil with a bit of diesel stolen from the skidder
