Inside the Husqvarna 555

Lots of structure in there.....no wonder it weighs so much

What mount and pitch does this saw come standard with?

Small mount 3/8 on mine. Sure this will vary as ordered.

The only thing that varies is the bar length. I suppose you could change the pitch over to a .325 if you really wanted to, but I don't believe that would be very effective on this saw.

Great thread, thanks for sharing the info on your new saw.....not to mention tearing into it....

 

[mweba]

Little lighter now (10.16oz). I can surely afford to mount that dawg now

Holy tunnels and baffles! Added an extra port while I was in there.

Will look a lot better after some melted wire and paint is added.

Hope the autotune can compensate for the changes in the muffler.

It can.

 

[mweba]

It can.

It does! Not sure if its faster but it sure does sound sweet.

Dude, vids needed after a statement like that!

Thought I would follow up on the muffler mod while the video is loading. That pic was a rough cut look, of course I cleaned up all the edges before reassembly.

Also a trick for the guys welding these THIN mufflers. I tack fence wire under the new seam before capping it. Makes it easier to deal with the heat and adds strength.

Could pull a Brad and turn on the car lights at the wood pile but that may be the last straw with my wife LOL


It hammers pretty good right

Add a couple more to this thread.

Popped the clutch off to switch over to an eight pin tonight. Drum is Husky branded with a new oiler coupler design.

Oiler view and also something I really like to see, a drum bearing grease vein.

Bearing view. Sealed style bearing, which I'm not a fan of but hey can't win em all

Mitch, this has been one helluva good review! Thanks.

Hey, look what showed up today......the outside dawg for the 555 I no longer own lol:banghead:

It should work on your 562 when you get it.

Im not sure. The ipl shows a different inside dawg on the 62 if I remember right.

 

[mweba]

You have to drill the holes to mount it btw......
