What's on your bench?

Converting a Husqvarna 394 to a 395 top end, THEN will tweak on it if it all works well. Some simple but subtle things have ( Had , past tense ) to be addressed. But just getting it running was task number one. Proof of concept.

No bench time lately but I did start the hacking together of a 8x12 shed to store the hay and duck/chicken feed in. Tired of it being scattered all over the place in the garage. Now all animal crap will be in one building

Going to make a few of these things, both PTO and flyside for my shop. Need them for the 395 and 288's I'm building.

This was supposed to be a quick carb kit and run it kinda saw but the damn thing took itself apart...

Has a couple ugly spots on the cases but nothing that would keep it from being functional. Debating if I want to fix them or leave it be and have it as an ugly saw.

How will that work on a 395, need to get seal over the shoulder without rolling it over? Are you going to make different design, would like to see it. I have been using a piece of rolled up pop can to slid it over crank shoulder.

Actually it held the seal so the 395's wouldn't roll over. Did a bunch and was surprised every time. BUT I would still use the Husqvarna shop tool installation sleeve and I build a "punch" with the diameter opened up to let the sleeve & crank fit in. So the 2.0 395 version still aligns on the crank but has a little more room for the sleeve is all. Works beautifully and the depth is spot on every time.

The original's I did were for 372 PTO and Flywheel sides. Have a pile now for most of the saws I do from setting the PTO side bearings in Stihl 660's & Husqvarna 386/90's to everything else along the way I needed to set a bearing or a seal to a specific depth. Even in the seal caps on old 61's on the fly side. Just real easy to build stuff like that and it save SO much hassle if you do a bunch. Saws like the 550's first gen on the fly side it was... almost essential to get them consistently right with out pushing up a sliver of aluminum.

A buddy gave me this beautiful 1983 181se, last week for FREE, had great compression and would pop on a prime but wouldn't draw fuel. One $8 carb kit later and she's up and running!

I finished up the cylinder for my 590 hybrid. Tomorrow I'm going to try and fix the tank with super glue and baking soda and get the muffler ready.

 

[Maintenance Chief]

Baking soda and superglue? Hhmm sounds delicious!

I just tried it out and glued that area around the vent and the tab the switch goes through that was broke off, seems like it works. Now just clean it up and drill out the vent hole.

I like to mix that and permanent marker. Maybe a little brake cleaner to really get my head spinning. Haha
