What's on your bench?

IIRC early 550s had some significant bearing issues, would probably be best to start fresh with the updated parts.

so your saying they was junk from the factory

Yep, teething issues with a new design, just like the early 066.

Well that sucks!.......Guess I need to order more parts.

pull the seal and take a look Brian.
If you has to swap bearings also, Husky came with new bearings late 2016, I'll find a picture how they look nowadays

Clean saws are more funner than dirty ones.View attachment 69761

Yeah, but dirty girls are more funner than clean ones.

 

[Tor R]

this is where those new Husky bearings will go (2015 week 5):


Blown con rod bearing, piston & cylinder.
Not bad for 56 hours


Luckily my main dealer sold me a usable crank and cylinder for 60$
Left to decide if I will go for a new piston, or a full kit.

I'll soon go through those extras I got, will make a list for OPE members to grab, except rear heat element I may have a spare xpg kit

Split the cases on a 009 today, found where the leak was through the crank case gasket. This saw came in over a year ago, little thing was in really nice shape. I remember trying to tune it up and it just wouldn't hold. Pressure tested it and found a leak through the oil tank vent. Customer didn't want to spend a ton of money on a crankcase repair so he left it with us.....well after my g/f expressed interest in my saws.....I figured a little starter saw of her own would be a great gift. So, bought this little 009 from my boss for $30 and looks like $50 in parts will do the trick. $80 ain't to bad imop for a in nearly new shape saw. Rings still have machine marks! Waiting on all the parts now....they don't make a gasket Kit so I have to get everything separately.....that took awhile to gather up! Should be a good runner when done. Will try and get some pics and video.
