Old Husqvarna 40 S Suspension Blowout

[duffontap]

I inherited an old Husky 40 S that I put a new fuel line on and gave to a friend. Not 20 minutes into cutting the rubber tubes (or whatever they are) that are part of the Anti-Vibe system all ripped at once so the bar could freely tip up.

These look easy to replace, are they available? The saw really runs great and would work great for my buddy if he could get the parts reasonable. So far he's got nothing into it.

Pretty sure they are, be sure to get the right ones though, one type has machined screws for metal bodies (also smaller diameter on the rubber), the other are larger and corser for plastic bodies, I am mearly guessing on availability but I had no trouble finding sources for my 266xp, full kits were still around. The bases are slotted for a special tool but a pair of needlenosed pliers works just fine. I am guessing 4 small rear and two large fronts? Lots of J-Reds use the same mounts and shop around your local saw shops as there are often used ones hanging around (how I gotr mine and saved 20$). As always I stand to be corrected.

Let us know what ya come up with, sure there are more'n few sponsers here more'n willing to help out.

Thanks for the reply.

Does anyone know if these bushings are referred to as the 'mounts'. It looks like they might be available.

If anyone has a parts diagram that shows the Husky 40 model with the rubber bushing suspension--I would greatly appreciate the help. If I can get the part number I'd be way ahead.

I actually never heard of a model 40S - but there was a 140S and a 240S.

There was a cheap model 40 (not 40S) as well, much later (plastic body, usually with gray top cover).

The parts list for them all is at Huskys web-site - make sure of the model number, and I will be able to find the right list.......

My mistake. It was the 240S.

There was a 40 Practica that turned in to a 44 later.

140S Was introduced at a forrest show in Feb, 1972.
240S/SE/SG was introduced 1973

Thanks for the help everyone. I would never have found that stuff. I didn't realize that this saw was so old. It starts, idles, and cuts great so it seems a shame that this has happened.

Would you guys have a recommendation on what to do? Throw it away?

Also--I found a picture of it. It's the little saw in the front.

Looks totally different from the P400 based model 40s that I have seen.....

Well, Well - it looks like they are reusing the 240 number as well.....umpkin2:
