Rebuilding my Husqvarna 395XP

Hi guys its about high time I reuped my 395xp chainsaw i call puddin its a 2011 and it has been very good to me... It's earned it www.loggerwade....

[@GranpaTruck]

Getting older not old, well ain't that the key to it all. Being grateful for what you have and not resentful for what you don't, and no envy or jealousy of others and you can go a long way. Wade I just loved when you said that it was the first time that you went all the way through on a saw rebuild. Ain't it the truth a lot of the time, you got to have the guts to go out into the deep water. One of my favorites so far I have seen. These KZbin algorithm make no sense to me. 👍

[@jordancoats86]

Nice to see someone actually rebuilding quality equipment. This throw away culture we live in never appreciates what it takes to keep things running.

[@FishFind3000]

I don't mind the throw away culture since there tossing perfectly good equipment that I get to pickup and fix for next to nothing or literately nothing and boom! I got some great free equipment I can play with. I got to pickup some fun stuff last year that I always wanted but would really never buy. For instance I got a plate compactor with a shot engine. I spent more time playing with the scrap motor to test the vibration motor then It took to swap the engine out. For my time and a $120 engine I have a plate compactor now.

[@05274912]

I had always jobbed for other loggers and run their saws. Then the first saw I ever bought was a 395. I bought it in 1992 or 93. I borrowed some money from my grandfather to buy it. It served me well for several years.

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Like I told David H on his video this morning Wade, I have had a lot of stuff happen to me over the last few years, new heart valve new aorta complete ankle replacement, lost 345 pounds 4 failed ankle surgeries plus about 5 other surgeries, and your videos and his and a few others are what get me through my days and some very long nights. So thank you!

[@LoggerWade]

Good to hear bud keep pushing

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Wade, you’re video’s are never boring, your knowledge and the way you entertain us is awesome! Thanks for sharing. Kevin

[@jimrichards8703]

It's ALIVE!! glad you took it upon yourself rather than sending it out. Since it means so much to you it now has your dna inside.

[@LoggerWade]

Haha that's what she said bamm!! Lol sorry bud had to

[@tmacie2]

Nice work Tater! Gotta love the spare parts bin save! That piston with no bearing must have made quite a racket!! If you do more piston and jugs, they make plastic ring compressors that slide around the rod, they help a ton.

[@NotJustaTool]

Happy Birthday puddin. 10 yo. It's about time you fixed her up Wade. I'm glad you didn't get hurt runnin 1/2 speed. Cheers!

[@howardcole8400]

You should sell this video to husqvarna as a commercial for just how tough their saws are. After the shade tree, sledge hammer rebuild job, and it still runs that good, is nothing short of example of great design.

[@woodcutter6235]

Good job! I’m working on one my self. A spring in the clutch busted and took out the oil pump.

[@billyshumate853]

Sounds good Wade. I can't say anything about leaving parts out been there done that. Take care and have a blessed weekend

[@tomv7552]

I don’t know, I’d run it a bit fat for a few hours until the rings and bore bed in. Sounds great 👍🏻

[@hillbillytrucker8347]

I thought I was the only that has a hard time working on chainsaws by forgetting to put something back in. You something ain't right when you have extra parts or their is parts still in thew box that should have went in the saw or whatever you are working on. That is why I love your vidjas your honesty and you give your best at whatever your doing even if you don't know what your your doing. Like most hillbillies we figure it out after a while, some cuss words, and maybe a confab with somebody that does know what they are doing or looking it up on the interweb or maybe a book. Love the vidjas and keep the good work and be safe out thar.

[@LoggerWade]

Thabks bud

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

Sounds good tater! I like the idea of you building a few saws with the boys some of the best memories I have as a kid are me and my dad working on stuff together in the shop !!

[@tractormantp2113]

Good job Wade next time you do one of them you won’t forget anything doing something wrong is a good learning tool that way you won’t do it wrong twice, been there done that

[@joshelizabethsteiner3592]

Wade i just love watching you given Stevey a hard time.Poor Pudden.Its alive and well.Have a good one.

[@williamjordan5414]

Very cool video. I have a 2000 model 372XP that I am thinking about tinkering with. Don't get too discouraged with anything, you have the ability to figure out how things work and the courage to tackle fixing most anything. There are a lot of us who either don't have the ability or courage to even try. Next time you are in town, pick up a can or two of Husqvarna fuel and run through Puddin and give us your feedback. I think it runs better and cleaner in my saws. Keep it up!

[@LoggerWade]

Got ya will do bud

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your video. Was very entertaining to watch you work on pudding. Had the auto generated text turned on, loved the google translation for pudding revving. My favorite is when it says WOW, always liked when my saw said the same. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.

[@LoggerWade]

Haha

[@taumbannon5289]

That is about how well things go when I rebuild stuff. If I don’t get it the first time. There is a better chance on the second. But not always.

[@Monkeysic]

I have a 91 288xp and it lives to run!!! I am a big fan of the Husqvarna line I have 5 of them and they all run good.

[@normannichols780]

I like when you go to the spare parts sheds with the camera. You was talking about another saw that got smashed let's fix it if it was a good saw. I keep fixing my 394 chain saws carbs seems to be the problem.

[@vadimslyusarchuk1942]

The loose bearing might cause an air leak or blow a crankcase seal- keep an eye on it or do a pressure/vacuum test

[@jwmfarms]

Loctite makes a product called Bearing Mount specifically for instances like yours.

[@Shawnf1977]

Brother when an allen bolt strips grab a torx bit and tap it into the bolt and use light pressure and it should break loose.

[@karlschupp8552]

Wade, you learned all kinds of new stuff working on puddin! I'm jealous, I need a garage! Lol....Luv ya's from Kentucky!!! Btw, picked up a 500i to play with today!

[@LoggerWade]

Thanks bud good luck with it

[@wakeupgrowup]

A tip for loose bearings in housings. Is to put a few center punch indent around the wall (at say 3,6,9&12 o'clock or more)of the housing plus lock tight before installing bearing

[@LoggerWade]

Holy cow I wished ida known that thanks bud ill use that next time

[@wakeupgrowup]

@@LoggerWade👍 & on bigger bearings use two rows(rings) but at different times say first row 3,6,9,12 o'clock & row 2 1.30,4.30... & you'll have to work out for yourself how much of an indent you make on how loose each one is.

[@michaelwhalen4072]

They sell green loctite that is meant for bearings that red wont hold up to heat.

[@LoggerWade]

I wished ida took advantage of that

[@tmacie2]

Yep, thats exactly what its made for. you can get it in different formulas that are made for different size gaps.

[@bladewiper]

that's some good cutting on the hickory, job well done.

[@jamesdearman814]

ain't gonna forget the wrist pin again are ya, Tater? Love the hands on stuff.

[@cedarrocksawshop3876]

Hang in there Wade. You’ll figure it out. If you want any help on the saws just holler. Takes time to figure out but your on right track. Keep’em coming.

[@LoggerWade]

Thanks buddy I got a pile of saws to redo

[@andyb9767]

Great video. I always enjoy when you include the boys.

[@waynetharp]

Puddin' is Alive!!!❤ There is absolutely nothing you can't do when putting your mind to it! Hope she holds up well and if not...You have a good vidja to remind ya of the what not to do next time!😃

[@LoggerWade]

Thats what I said heck they make new parts every day

[@frankbirkemose4967]

Ole Puddin is ripping now, very cool vidja Tater

[@crazytruckingvidz978]

Buddy be safe and have a good weekend and can’t wait to see the blackie vidja when it’s finished

[@ajlewin5616]

Tater and pudding be slick stumping real soon lol. Well done rebuild 👍

[@markw2266]

I've been absolutely amazed at the shit you have fixed, but this isn't one of those times. No better way to learn. Keep up the good fight tater.

[@michaeladams8532]

She sounded sweet at the end..I think we all have done similar things well rebuilding thing.

[@calholli]

Its easier to tune the high screw while its wide open. Just open up the throttle and let her run wide open while you adjust the H. up and down until the RPM's peak; takes away the guess work.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Awesome video Wade!! Have you ever ran the jonsred saws?? Witch if you are a husky fan you definitely got to be a jonsred fan!! They were both made by the same company!! Witch company though I always forget!! Lol!! I have several jonsred saws & I sure would trade for no stihlll!! Lol!! I’ve worked on quite a few saws at the saw shop hear in Iowa that I help out at every once in a while at!! Love working on saws!!

[@stoffes]

heck of a saw right there! damn so much power build a goc art on one and it runs like hell for the kids

[@geraldwilson3834]

Good soundin saw right there. Well done Mr.

[@terryrogers1025]

I just grinned through the whole vid. Glad to see I’m not the only one when done I have left over parts, never mind that they maybe needed, success is measured in extra parts.😂

[@CMDSR]

By golly she opening up now. Good job Tater.

[@amosmoses8718]

Can you get Big Mama in some videos, Have not seen her since the tv show days. Love your videos.

[@MrJdeereboy]

That saw cuts faster than a beaver on red bull god bless great video

[@111polarbear]

Just got home from work and this was gooooooood to watch 😀😀

[@brianmeattey4151]

Great vid brother and very happy ya got your baby running again ..godbless and stay safe

[@440x]

For easy install of your bearings into the crank case throw them in the freezer for couple hours the bearing race will shrink by a couple thousandths and will let them slide in place easier

[@dwaynemorrow6594]

Hell, we all do things like that. You ought to be a pro at rebuilds

[@calholli]

I've seen this happen in a saw that was ran with straight gas, instead of mixed gas.. or it can happen if the fuel filter gets too clogged.. That's what usually kills the bottom end in a 2 stroke. I've seen a cylinder die before by a piece chipping off of the top of the exhaust port and gauged the cylinder wall, just like in your pics.. At least the parts are fairly cheap. At least I know on the STillh's, a jug is only like $20

[@LoggerWade]

Go ya thanks bud

[@reddye2331]

Gonna have to go back in time to a place of November 19th 2020 and fix all the problems by purchasing tht 500i all saw problems gone... Have Stevie Pop the jug of and build it into a Billups build. I’m pretty sure if a person could walk-into a saw store and buy a Billups built saw they wouldn’t be able to keep em in stock to satisfy the demand. His saw is fast.

[@codybrown3946]

Wade didn’t Stevey tell you not to port the head over the crankcase bearings??

[@johnrosier1686]

Those are good saws, I hope to own one someday.

[@jeffgriffith490]

lol I’m glad to see that I’m not the only person to put things together more than 4 times to get it done 🤜🤛

[@tomwainwright7102]

A good,funny and informative video Logger, buddie, I didn`t understand a word you said about the saw,but it was informative............I think.

[@joehackett9471]

Great saw! Love the sound of them BOM BOM BOM!

[@cavalrytrucking813]

Use any oil while assembling?

[@ashtoncrow9368]

I busted a couple of string trimmer engines when I was a teenager learning to work on em! My theory was run em till they stop, find out what I did wrong, and never do it agan😂 never throw away the screws left over ya might need em on the next one🔩

Look up johns custom chain saws he will fix your saw like brand new. He rebuilds saws for a living. He will give your saw more power.Ive watched his videos on KZbin. That guy John he even powder coated the saw the whole nine yards. He's very good at it so give him a look up

They want that reliability. Plus the dealer should be doing the initial setup for the area/elevation so they might be setting it conservative or just not setting it at all.
