What's on your bench

[ballisticdoughnut]

Where did you get those dogs from? The inner doesn't look stock but I cant remember off the top of my head.

They’re 362 dogs, also fit on the 261 and 400 maybe others. 0000 660 0800 is the part number.

372 handlebar?? is there a thread??
TIA

Why yes It is sir!
And there maybe a thread out there somewhere, but not any that I used for my ideas, I watched a few different videos and got a few ideas of my own and kinda did it a little different than one of the videos the way it mounts to the bottom. But it works and I love it!
Maybe I should write one up with pics and post

Far out !

I’ll follow the painting action that @The Stig got on the go there, lookin great by the way buddy! I Love givin old things new life with a bitta fresh paint!
Put a little special touch on my 266 full wrap like I did to my 55 build, seems to holding up well on her so why not try it again

 

[Orange Ripper]

Baked it over the wood stove in the shop for a couple hours and installed, looks nuts

Hey @Squareground3691 ! IIRC I remember seeing an orange brake flag on a 61 in your collection, got a pic of that ? Did that come on The saw? Or did you modify it? Super curious cause I can’t find one anywhere

I found one video on it. I would like to see how you attached yours on the bottom, if you don’t mind.

I am thinking about working on making a thread about it now, but here is a pic of how I mounted it across the bottom, there is a 1/16” to 1/8” riser plate (not sure of exact thickness off hand) underneath the mounting surface to allow the bar to clear the crank case on the clutch side, also I filed a round relief in the bar where the crank case is to make a little more wiggle room there.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I have a OEM handle on the way to me for just over $40.00. Not too bad.
I’ll be watching for that thread.

May have actually found one in a box of parts that makes a full saw waiting on a reply now to see when I can go pick it up!
I have a spare orange one but it’s for the older style like this one on my 55 and won’t work on my newer style one for the 266

Does anyone have the enigma to decode it?

 

[Orange Ripper]

Found me an orange brake flag for my 266 @Squareground3691, pretty sure this one will work for me anyway, came off a 1987 Husqvarna 40

 

[Orange Ripper]

My new 1985 Husqvarna 266se, she needs some love, but that’s what bench’s are for

Also picked up a box of a full Husqvarna 40 just in parts

This one’s a runner but definitely gotta pick with it a little tomorrow, popped out the plug and piston and cylinder look fine, has good compression
Can’t wait to see what my first 266 looks like all oranged out now when I get the flag on
