Husqvarna 372xp Case Seal Installation Tool, Husqvarna 576xp Intake Boot Replacement, A Crushed 372

You don't need to worry about the aftermarket seals, they last for ages. They outlast the top end anyway, by then it's time to change the seals anyway during the rebuild.

[@johnclarke6647]

Don’t forget to slip on the heat shrink tubing before you twist the wires together! I usually put the heat shrink on, strip about about a half of an inch in each wire , mesh them together and then solder them. Twisting them together makes it hard to get heat shrink on the connection. Pushing the ends together and then soldering them makes things a lot easier to insulate.

Wanted to say thanks again for this input re the 576, helped me in my purchase. The saw would be primarily in hardwoods, also used in some milling. Interesting was the maximum recommended bar length on husky's website, (so if a warranty event occurred, no violations) VERY enlightening. 32" max for the 576. A 390 carries less bar, as does the 572! If you want to stay within Husky's parameters for bar lengths you'd need to move up to a 395 for 32" or longer!

Very nice tools you have, Walter! Congratulations...

[@austindenotter19]

Hoping the x torq head not going on to that saw! I couldnt agree more with the 576 statement so i bought one. After a few "enhancements" my 576 runs stronger than any of my 372 xp saws. And louder☺.

[@Valarkeptbyeforce]

Nice job on the seal driver , safer than useing a deep socket! I too have a Atlas ten model th48, I spoiled myself a year ago and purchased a quick change gear box for mine! Love my lathe, very handy shop tool!

Always like watching your videos even if its about a another 372. You can always learn something new. I have a 576 that needs a top end that I've been putting off since I picked up a 365 xtorq from Bob. I guess I should get it back together and see how much more power it has over it.

My son went to Canda for the high school rowing championship Sat morning - Dog chewed his enhanced Licsence yesterday when we out for dinner.. Too funny

[@timfreeman476]

The 372 is like the smallblock chevy in the saw world congrads on retirement i got a new old mans saw for limbing a sthil ms250 i am going to get a cannon 24: super lite narrow cut bar so i do not have to bend down cutting white pine sappling i am just porting muffler

[@maxxwalters2829]

Nice video i like watching them.

[@davewyatt1468]

I’m also a big fan of the 576 there possibly a little underpowered in stock form but after I reduced squish and muffler modded mine it felt great

[@austindenotter19]

Dave Wyatt just curious if you did a muffler mod and restripe the carburetor screws so that you can get enough fuel in there to make it run right? That's all that I did to mine and it came alive like I could not believe.

[@davewyatt1468]

Austin Denotter the 576 I have is a auto tune so I did not have to touch carb screws, (it does not have any) But yes at least 10-15% more power I would say

[@damonhart1268]

so , hows a bout a pic of the puppies? ( the little chew monsters) lol I have had a few of my own...know the feeling well

[@johnbernstein203]

Walt....best wishes in retirement and have a great Memorial Day weekend. Oh, where did you get that flexible bench light? It really seems to work well. Thanks.

[@johnbernstein203]

Thanks buddy!

[@nathanielbumppo3955]

Hey Walt. You should put together a crank puller kit and seal driver kit for sale. I'm positive people on the chainsaw sites would gladly buy them!

[@afleetcommand]

Yup have a bunch out there. Just its a time thing as I build each one, once in a while I'll do a batch of 5 or so. Have to build a couple this next week actually. Then I'm busy again for a few weeks....then will do another batch. Actually had to ship out my personal Husqvarna set...then just finished building another for me and another fellow.

[@nathanielbumppo3955]

afleetcommand I'll have to message you on AS or OPE about one !

[@afleetcommand]

OPE :)

[@orange12v]

I'm learning a lot from you what size hole should I drill into the cylinder in order to fit a decompression valve in my Chinese Husqvarna clone it's cylinder has a spot cast in it's fins? Kind Regards Dave

[@matthewolson8875]

M10x1.0 I think is the decomp thread size

[@afleetcommand]

None. It doesn't need one and all the decomp does is give an opportunity for a leak later in the saws life..:)

[@maxxwalters2829]

576XP rocks to bad they will be all gone soon.

[@padraigsheridan8316]

What was the final depth of the flywheel side oil seal? I did one today and I think I might have gone to deep, I used the oem tool.

[@afleetcommand]

about .015 to .020 is where I put mine. It's real easy to drive it right into the bearing. I prolly wouldn't get to nervous unless its like past .05 in

[@padraigsheridan8316]

@@afleetcommand OK thanks. Also what if it's slightly askew? That's bad? It has to be completely level?

[@afleetcommand]

pretty much better be square to the crank shaft

[@padraigsheridan8316]

@@afleetcommand thanks, took me a few tries but I got her now.

[@anthonyferrin5785]

Hey fleet command, can you use OEM 395 piston in a 394?

[@afleetcommand]

They have different part numbers even though they are both 56mm. Might be wrist pin to crown or skirt length. I don't know the exact difference but they are. Would have to put them side buy side on a wrist pin to figure it out. The 294 is the same as the older Jonsered 2094 and 5. Wonder if the opening or window in the side is different. Don't know is the answer.
