Husqvarna 372xpw 75cc

[Paul Silvestri]

Hey all, just picked up a really nice 372xpw OEM 75cc saw and wondering if it will be hard to get top end parts if I should need them? Hard to find info about them. I know it was the top end used in the cutoff saw back then but even that is hard to get parts for. So that being said is there enough of a performance difference to chase down parts or just make it a OE 71cc variation at that point. Thanks!

I've owned the 375K cyl built ones before oem put the bigger tops on W saws to get rid of them imo. IMO nice when ported right.

But today I would not go on the search for the parts when you can snag 50mm.

Matter fact was testing a 375k one ported one out yesterday that was dropped off.

Nice!! What top end do you recommend when the time comes?

372's OEM 50mm OE 1 ring or 2 ring pick your flavor

AFM ones just a tad behind stock and ported. But this meteor one on white saw was close but still not same as oem in orange.

 

[Paul Silvestri]

So what is the OEM 50mm from?

The standard 372 oe, before xtorq

Oh yes, I thought he was talking about another oem 75cc cylinder option

 

[bwalker]

The 75cc cylinder has been long discontinued. Stock the ports are smaller than the 71cc cylinder. As such it doesn't scream like a regular 372, bit has more torque.
If you want to sell that one let me know.

OEM OE 372 50mm 70.7cc

OEM 375K etc 51.4mm 74.66cc

75cc has more grunt, and with a light port job they’ll pick up the throttle snap they’re missing. I‘m running one of those top ends on my 372 and my brother is as well, when the time comes for a new piston Wiseco still makes them. If the jug dies you’d be better off sourcing a 50mm top end, and beyond the p/c there aren’t any differences between a 372 and a 372XPW.

Yes, it feels a lot like my 372 x torq actually or maybe it's in my head. But I like it. My favorite chassis.

Mine too! I used my saw most of last week for a little logging job for a neighbor, while it was a bit heavier than a 562 it was still light enough that I didn't mind packing it around all day and I could single-cut 28" fir trees.

You could always have the cylinder replated as well.

Yep! Just cut with them both again and the 75cc version kept a higher rpm in the cut. And I believe it's lighter? Negligible but lighter is lighter I suppose.

Lighter than an xt? Yes. Lighter period, no. One thing I will say, XPW saws came with blue "stiff" a/v mounts which I greatly prefer to the standard 372 mounts. If you run a 32"+ bar on them it eliminates most of the flop, and even in day to day use it's more comfortable for me.

That saw should live a long time before needing anything
51.4mm Pistons or topend kits still pop up occasionally but are too expensive imho
I had a choice of 2 xpw or 2 50mm oe a few years ago for the same price before they discontinued them again
I just went with the 50mm oe
To get ported
I don't believe anything I could get anything else for my 372s that would would pull a 28" in hardwood like my ported 50mms do.

Yeah it runs awesome and pulls hard. I dig it! How do they do with a good muffler mod ?

 

[Muzencab]

Hyway big bore, Titanikel coating, with pop up piston, and caber rings.

Very nice!

Great and there's endless muffler mod styles
I like the 3/4" single tube outlet personally

If you like deflectors
Red97 sells nice deflectors reasonable at 4.00 or so
The last oem 288 deflectors I bought were 15.00
