While on the subject of Husky motorcycles...............anyone remember the Husky Automatic dirtbike from the late '70's early '80's???

Yep, I've got a friend who made a "hot saw" out of one of the old 430 automatics. But then he started having problems and couldn't get parts so it's retired again. Some of the small shows around here have only one rule for the hot saws, you have to be able to carry it to the log and cut without help. That old 430 barely made that qualification (I think it was a little over 100 lbs.).

Only one question.
What part of the crank case is plastic on the 029??
Sorry to interrupt...............
.

No clue I was talking about the 290's and just guessing the 029 was made the same way. No 1st hand on 029's. Is it or is it not a clam shell design 04ultra? Willing to learn, so have at it please.

Never mind 04 I just looked at my IPL's and seen it is the clamshell pos.


unlike mr youngblood 2000 knowitall.

Well as far as I have seen the 029/290 is an aluminum crankcase engine mounted in a resin outer housing ...The only saws I have seen with a plastic lower crankcase is the Huskys. like the 350,455/460 .I just junked a 350 that had a spun bearing in the plastic case..

I really dont care. I can tell by the way you act i wouldn't give you the time of day. But I do remember helping you out with a bar for a Poulan, because you are so clueless still. :buttkick:

By the way if i am wrong on something i am man enough to accept it and learn from others. So 2000 G.A.L. :ices_rofl: :D :ices_rofl:

Well hey thanks for the help!! It took the guys at baileys a few days to get back with me. Reminded me why the saw did not belong to me. Now I got a life and live it true to the core, what about you 'ole pal??

I really am a good guy, if you would have spoken that day. Oh well, better to be pissed off than pissed on. Have a good night:cheers:
 
the 029 /290 engine is all aluminum pan to cylinder.....

What would you call a saw engine that mounts the bearings onto the plastic case??


sorry for the Derail...........
.

04 the cheap poulans use that so called aluminum pan too. What saws bolt straight to the plastic or so called resin and the bearings ride on plastic for bearing support? Never seen it or would want too either.

Well hell I may as well toss a old rock in here. Now looking at them there pictures it would appear the bearings in the outstanding saw, the 290, has its bearings wrapped entirely in metal. Now that there utter picture tends to show half the bearings is wrapped in plastic. Therefore if ya wanna screw with one take the one already wrapped half in plastic, safe sex nowdays is a must, hahahahaha
