Huztl MS660

The site was having issues an hour ago. I don't think they like links back. They have repositioned them before. Hit the main site first and scroll they were front page. That's why I posted just the site

This link does not work for me.

It doesn't work for me either but try this link: http://www.huztl.net/

Give this one a shot

You guys need to hurry up and build one of these. It's like watching my grand-parents have sex. As much as it hurts, I can't turn away.

 

[Magic_Man]

Wow, I might have to order one of these. A new clean saw would be a great in the house dead of winter project.

Curious what the total cost was AND if it has all the hardware..

 

[Bedford T]

There is no packing list in the box. Here are a few more photos. Box full of packs of parts. Will make a list of packs. The plastic I handled is very sturdy. We are off to the races now. It came UPS overnight out of JFK. I am in NC. No reason to snap each part. It would to to their advantage to let everyone know that.

Base cost is $141. The total cost with shipping to the US was $240.88.

Sadly, my order still says pending after 10 days. I had emailed them yesterday asking if the order was OK but still haven't heard back

@Bedford I'm curious how you ended up with UPS shipping. I was seemingly only offered USPS. I went back to 'pretend' order a new kit and here's the shipping options it gave me. On my first order i chose the Expedited USPS (odd that expedited is cheaper than standard, eh?)

 

[Bedford T]

Thats what I did too! I wanted everyone to know everything, we took the chance. Earlier someone mentioned the UPS thing, I never saw it on any of the paperwork, but its on the box "ups next day air saver" and the $98.89 shipping says USPS expedited and that is why I was so uneasy about the tracking, they are all about the tracking. UPS thinks each package is a football. I did not have to sign for it. I don't know where I got that idea. I think we are all safe and gonna be real happy. I have to document mine before i can play so I am doing that tonight and hopefully by night fall tomorrow I can cut wood, unless life gets in the way.

 

[BTarb24]

I'm not too worried about being screwed over.. i just want it to arrive so i can play with it! It's such a tease to know you ordered it 1 day before me and already have it Maybe i'll be lucky and mine will show up tomorrow even though my order status still says pending

 

[blsnelling]

Did you try it on a mobile device or computer? Their website doesn't work on my phone or iPad

Yes I was. Now that I'm on my laptop, I'm getting product not found for the link I quoted and it's EXTREMELY slow to load any page.

@ blsnelling try just going to website without using a link

 

[BTarb24]

their website has been crazy slow absolutely every time i've used it, so no surprise there.

when you open the bag with the crankcase half's do it over a tub or something. I opened the bag and I heard a thumb as something fell into the bottom of the trash can I was standing over. It turned out it was a locating pin. I found it by picking through the garbage and using a magnet.

the bearing and seals are in their place???????already.

Don't you know that there are always supposed to be spare parts after putting something together?

 

[Bedford T]

Somebody willing to help me with this? I wanted to use oem bearings so i must remove these first. Even the seals are in there and I would have placed the seals after the crank is in place. What are the thoughts on removing? installing the crank as is? I have never done this. but that is what made sense to me. here are some up close photos.

 

[BTarb24]

If you want to install as is then the seals will likely just pop out from the act of pressing the crank through the bearings.. so the result is that you'll be installing the seals after the crank is installed anyway. (i'd just remove the seals before trying to install the crank just to ensure the crank doesn't pinch the edges and ruin the seal)

If you want to use OEM bearings then you'll have to press the old bearings out. If you don't want to use a press (or don't have one) then you can go to harbor freight and pick up a cheap bearing puller. It should be cake to use since you can just hook the remover's legs inside the bearing due to the crank not being installed.

harbor freight puller that should work fine to extract those bearings($23):

you may want to stick a block of wood under those posts to even out the pressure on the case.

 

[blsnelling]

You're going to use their crankshaft, right? Why replace the main bearings?

 

[Bedford T]

@ BTarb24, I wonder how yours will arrive? Installed/not? As I am sure you are too! let us know. surely yours will come tomorrow unless they are out of stock on something, they don't communicate . Thanks for the puller info.

@blsnelling the bearings are in my mind are an item that could be improved on in my budget. If i could afford a stihl crank i would likely just buy all oem engine parts. At this point a little over thinking is not costly. If I had experience I might be able to provide you with a better answer. Like the gaskets, little things that may have a long term positive effect on the life of the saw, were the things I considered. Also in a discussion with someone who has done the kits they made that recommendation. I will sleep on it. Might just use them and keep going. I had a plan, not, bad or ugly, it threw a wrench in it.

Would you replace them if you bought a kit?
