My goodness, your messy bench looks just like mine

Mines bad rite now. Set something on it yesterday and lost it. I need to tidy up again. Too many saws on the go at once.

572XPG #2. This is a brand new saw. Never fueled.
Found the cylinder spring AV mounting screw cross threaded. Fixed it up with a time sert. Should be better then ever with the time sert repair.

Cross threading is better than Loctite....so I hear. Lol

Husky quality. @Mastermind brings it up frequently.

You guys are wasting your money buying 6202 or 6203 standard bearings from the manufacturers themselves. I think I spent like less than 8-10 bucks a piece on nachis (I believe them and other name brand bearing can be found on ebay) for the last 372 bottom end that I had done.... and the cages were metal. I don’t like the idea of the plastic cage bearings in some of the husky/stihl saws.

I buy SKF 6202 or 6203 directly from a bearing manufacturer. Nachi off eBay, but gotta pull the shields.

The PTO side Stihl bearings are always through a Stihl dealer, but at least I can save a few bucks there for the next guy with the Fly side.

@Definitive Dave has told me he has never really encountered any issue with Chinese bearings that weren’t apparent at the onset. Every bearing, inc OEM direct, should be checked for smoothness before install IMHO. Preferably after cleaning out any oil/grease that will create a false sense of smoothness.

Just because something is made in China doesn’t mean it’s always gonna be a POS. If the factories are monitored by the oem for quality control, the product should be just as good as any other place where the sun rises at another time. The American consumer has simply demanded cheap crap for years and China had the ability and lack of respect for themselves to produce cheap shít unscrupulously.

Make a jig and try to weld it? It’s your own saw.

That’s BROKE

That's $50.00 installed as is. Lol

After getting a new "Mark II" with the fuel filter in three pieces rolling around in the bottom of the tank, I can't argue the fact.

I finally shut up about Husqvarna.

Surely y'all noticed.

 

[MustangMike]

I hear an echo!!!

But in all seriousness, I believe (from what I hear) there has been great improvement. No company will ever never have a problem.

I was wondering if they gave you hush money or you got tired of beating a dead horse.

I've been selling a chit load of Husqvarnas lately. I'm not cool with being a hypocrite.
