I thought that might be the case, I will pull it apart and put some grease in it, will that bearing come out easy?

It should be seperate, but even if it's pressed into the drum you can wash it out and dry it and grease it still in the drum

Sweet sounds pretty simple then, I don't need a special tool to remove the clutch or anything do I?

Yup should be an inboard clutch, which means the drum and sprocket are on the outside, remove the nut clean and grease bearing reinstall. But be careful tightening the drum nut as on those you can overtighten it causing it to stick to the clutch its a locknut so you should be able to tighten it down while spinning the drum to check for drag.

So there isn't a spec to tighten it to? And by that do you mean the nut will tighten itself if I spin the drum?

 

[Boomer 87]

No spec you need to tighten it with a wrench or socket when it gets close to the sprocket start spinning it as your tightening it you'll feel if you get it too tight it wont want to spin anymore

Did you get that 361 up and running yet?

 

[Boomer 87]

No gotta carb soft parts kit coming in the morning but it will run if you force feed it
I like them saws they run pretty hard

 

[Kensie1988]

I found one down in south Louisiana but it was $100 and I wasn't going all the way down there just for that lol

 

[Boomer 87]

Too much money

 

[Boomer 87]

I price them like super xls 30-40 for one in unknown condition

 

[Kensie1988]

Yep, that's why I'm not worried about it, there are a lot of them floating around I have noticed and I will collect me one one of these days.

 

[Boomer 87]

If i wasnt so stingy lol i have 3, 2 -361, and 1 in dayton colors

Thanks for the new bar and the old school Homelite bar cover!

Haha your welcome. and if your wondering that bar will fit your super xl, xl700 and 925

 

[astnmacgto]

And..... there's something else in the box. parts from boomer

 

[Boomer 87]

Did you see the recoil parts in there too for your 925

 

[Kensie1988]

Yep, sure did, Thanks Boomer! And I was thinking it would because the mount pattern looked just like the 20" I have on my super XL now. Now I will at lease have something to go on my XL-700 if I need it! Just need to get a chain for it. That's a 3/8 .50 20" bar correct?

 

[astnmacgto]

I believe it is .050 GA
