Just another junk chainsaw

[LD1]

Good time of the year to just hang out in the shop and fix old saws eh?

Been a bit too hot/dry to even think about using a saw though:confused2:

AMEN Brother...

I've got trees down at my place, and at one of my rentals that seriously need to be at least bucked into moveable logs, but these well over 100 heat index days we are having just make that sound as appealing as a triple root canal without novacaine...

I've also been scoping out the currently standing trees along the edges and driveway, etc. that I need to take down before they come down.

I got some sawing to do... Soon as it cools off a bit.

372xp All together. Just waiting on the intake flange and intake sleeve I thought I had but didnt. :smiley_aafz::hissyfit:

Well I just couldnt wait any longer for the 2 parts I have ordered on such a nice day and a little free time. I stole the intake flange and intake sleeve from the 362xp and put on this latest 372xp project.

A friend had (with another 372 I rebuilt) just stopped by when I was buttoning it up and fired it to tune and stick in a test piece of black walnut. Feels like another good runner.

Last husky 372 built from a box of parts on right.

The one on the left was built from 2 bare crankcase halves I found for a 362xp project with small mount husky bar mount. Thats what I was looking for.

You need anymore 371/372 parts? I have tons of stuff....

I see you are running them carlton premium bars. Did you get those from baileys? and do you use their woodland pro chain?

Last time around, we got those bars and the woodland pro chain cause the guy said it was as close to "stihl" chain as they carry. No complaints about the bar at all, but I dont care for the chain. Dulled too quick. Then when going to sharpen I noticed it was a 35 degree angle on the teeth. That would explain the quicker dulling. I filed them back to 30 and it is okay chain, but I will stick with stihl next time.

No on baileys, I try to shop else where if I can. Large mount came from feebay. Small mount I cant remember but a guy sales them in KY.

I dont use woodsman pro chain, but have had a loop or 2 on trade in's and they say Carlton on them on drive links. I heard the cutters wasnt carlton though. Who knows I dont.

I sure did. I ran way short on this 372 project. I had posted in all the wanted forums everywhere.

It's done now, but I am always trading and buying.

About a 1/3 of what I had for builders in pic. Rest on shelves and floors.

More junk cluttering my bench today. Poulan 425 opened up for new bearings and seals.

Decided to do the same thing to the poulan 475 I was building too. Could feel a little roughness in the bearings. So better safe now then sorry later.

FWIW

TSC Co. has Husky 12" bar and Chain for $3.99 for BOTH.

(In there clearance dept.)

Steve no longer need husky 362 365 372 stuff. Had a fire sale and sold the remaining saws and parts I had left. :dance1:

Be interesting to see how this echo 6700 67cc runs. Guy that traded it is said it was used with 24" bar. Looking for 6700 670 muffler assembly, clutch cover, brake handle, maybe a recoil and handle down the road too.

Can you say 100% flow muffler mod. :shocked: He said the muffler came apart and just the attachment and inner baffle stayed on.

Rain stopped so I got to do some test cuts.

Bucked some black walnut and ripped cut with 20" full comp in hard maple and soft spruce. Reminds me of the husky 365 special cut wise. Modified clutch cover was made for noodling

I was impressed with this 67cc echo for sure ;D. RPM WOT ended up 12.3k after the testing. Like it where she is at right now. I like them a little fat :laughing:

Another good looking saw!

Took in a little echo 3900 and it has a dead coil. Anyone have a coil PM me please.

The saw isnt worth what they want for a new coil IMHO.

I found a online echo parts dealer right here in Ohio. I got me a air filter and switch on the way.

My local echo dolmar dealer is worthless IMO and refuse to give him one penny of my hard earned money. He wouldnt even look up the coil for me and give me a price for new. Something about being a 20 year old saw blah blah blah. I agree it;s not worth the cost of a new coil but jeez. :thumbdown:

Original AF list NLA with superseded #, I then looked up that number it was NLA with another superseded number. This # showed up as the replaceable AF for 3900 and available $12 plus shipping. We shall soon see if it fits.
Switch was $6. All of this was found on my own searching being the local dealer is worthless!
