What's on your bench?

[460 magnum]

Would deffinately need another crank, I believe to fix one costs way more then a new one.

this saw has been a money pit.. are the worth buying a crank for? Only thing that hasn't bought new for it (as far as internals) is the jug

 

[dustinwilt68]

Never checked the price of a crank for this model, 576 just never caught on in my area very well, I would guess it would be close to 150-200 for a new crank, I can check at my dealer if you like and see if they have a used crank tomorrow. Pm me

Local logger likes his 576 reg carb model over the OE and NE 372's. Is his small saw for limbing etc he says.
After running it I understand why. More torque in cut.
He dont mind the weight. But I do.

Thank you I had my friend make to mor for different saw's and going to make a couple more sleeves but it's on hold until the last tap comes. Lol.

you mostly need 3 sleeves, four if you plan to work through most saws Stihl & Husky have made.
What taps did you ordered?

Guy gave this bad boy today. It actually started and ran, but quickly flooded out, I'm sure the carb needs a good cleaning and rebuild.



He also brought me a 372xp to work on, he had taken it to a shop, and they told him it was going to cost $500 to fix. Of course my initial thought was low compression and they were quoting him a new top end. Hooked up tester, 190 psi, not that. Rebuilt the carb, tuned it in, nothing else I can find wrong with it. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

190 on a stock 372? Wow. I’m guessing it was a xtorq with a base gasket delete.

Any of you folks tried this?

Got another call out of the blue from a small engine shop in Iowa. Guy working on 2083. Needed plastic worm winged gear and clutch springs.
Not given up anymore plastic worm gears to we get a source for 3d making them.
Clutch springs are just husky springs on the newer clutch and I informed him.

Also told him he might be able to use the metal worm gear on the later saws that had the plastic worm gear. Anyone did this?
I know the oilers are the same. Just wondering if room since different pto seal and bearing set up.

Looks an awful lot like a 372 or 385 worm gear, might they be close enough to work?

It was an xtorq, the gasket looked intact, without tearing it down. The guy that brought it to me is the type to just buy and use, not mod, but I don't know the saws full history.

I did the test 3 times with the same result. Glad the Saw has a decomp valve . Runs like a scalded dog now. He ended up buying my 281 rebuild too, wanted it with a 20" bar.

Anyways, now to play with the cute little McCulloch.

I compared a 372 long ago and it was a no go. But thanks for idea too.

Cant remember why it was a no go back then or if it could be modded to work or was worm different etc.

Maybe a 266 worm set up might work?

I once purchased 4 dead saws from a shop. They told me what was wrong with each one. They were wrong 3 out of 4!

The mechanic even demonstrated to me how a MS 460 had no compression … also had no plug or decomp!

4 local pros bring their saws to me … for one reason … they don't trust the local shops. Luckily, their saws don't break much!

I have metal worm gears for the earlier 415 475 and jreds used and nos already. But they have a outer seal and smaller pto bearing. The later with plastic worm gear have the pto bearing and seal set up like 385 etc.

What I was wondering if the metal worm gear can be used somehow on the later ones for a fix for the guy. I know the oilers are the same for both.

I know the updated fix for the older ones was to go the other way. But now we need to see if it can go in reverse.

older and newer pto sides
