Husqvarna Chainsaws

[briantutt]

Before I get a load of messages I can no longer access the 65L & 77L service manuals as they have been lost with my old hard drive.If anyone has a copy I would like to complete the set again.

I agree totaly with Mark dont get to worried about torque just tighten sensibly and you will be OK.After nearly 30 years working on saws for a living I cant remember many of the mechanics in the workshop reaching for a torque wrench
for much at all.

The old saying "Tight is Tight & to Tight is f####d.

My German counterparts say "a good engineering feel" when pressed for a torque value!

Love my 372XP. Paid 250 at a pawn shop last year. Whatta a bargain...it's a 2007 model. Just bought a new 346XP a couple months ago and I'm astounded by the speed, agility and power of this pup. I've always loved Stihl, and still do, but I'm very disappointed at their lack of use of decompression valves, something Husky uses liberally, to our benefit. Gotta love a Husky! But I still miss my 441 and wish I had another one!

Pic assist!

Holy Crap!

Dad bought a chain grinder... I sharpened my 20" 362XP chain with it and went to cut firewood. This thing is a beast now with a properly sharpened chain. I forgot how wicked this saw is when everything is setup right.

Saws got a workout

Here's one of the Husky 362XP victims last weekend...

I just put the double rings in this one today!!

Someone has a double ring piston on Ebay that they say is for a 65? Mine only has one

So hows a ported husky 55 stack up? Rebuilding one and wanting to know whether to port it or not.

Sold my 266's so I could buy another saw. This is what I ended up with.

A couple more close up pics. I think the saw is in excellent shape for its age.

Just checked the 65 here. It's a single ring also.

Funny thing though, I found another husqvarna from Yugoslavia.

A 266. Any body seen these?

Yugo made Huskys were one of the infamous Olof Palmes projects - it usually involved models that were no longer made in Sweden.

I drained stale gas out of mine earlier and refueled, didn't even have to prime it
after sitting for months. If I need a bigger saw, going to have to use a
Poulan, 4200 or 5400.

The marriage of Marshall Tito and the Swedomatic!!

This one didn't have the id plate, had the funny 2 piece ignition of the 266. And the proud words "Made in Yugoslavia".

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. Customer brings his clean 65 in the other day. Carrying the saw in one hand and a box in the other. Says he purchased the saw approx 28 years ago. Couple weeks after buying it the case starts to leak oil. He contacted Husqvarna and they sent him a new case. Shortly after that he quit burning wood. Fast forward 28 years and he now wants to burn wood again.

So bout a brand new 65 :jawdrop: Looks nice
