How to rebuild a husqvarna 266xp chain brake.

[@jbplays7302]

Thank you Tinman! I bought a metal brake handle to replace my fudged up bent one. Now, thanks to you I know how to do it! And hopefully I can find a brake band, and put a brake band and the bent handle on my old backup! Your videos are the best to learn how to work on these old saws!!!! Kudos from Alabama USA!!!

[@mattfleming86]

Your best kinds of videos bud! I had to watch the same video TWICE to fogure out how the leaf springs worked on a 51/55 series saw. Chain brakes have the potential to be complicated. Compression springs, knee joints, and roll pins, oh my.

[@tinmanssaws]

Yeah they can be not fun. Figured I'd film this one to maybe help some folks out.

[@kennyburaker9013]

Thank you so much for the little details you share with us.

Anyone else see the spider crawling on the bench.

[@michaelrockwell9691]

I always protect all my safe spiders in my shop (black widows and brown recluses have to go). They do a good job in helping to keep the other bugs down!

[@paulmcreynolds1774]

Nice job Tinman. You are really good at what you do.

[@tinmanssaws]

Thanks Paul

Wow, something that painstaking and you made it look easy! Thanks for the teaching!👍👍👍

[@shapeshifter7753]

Just when I thought you had shown me everything you know, out comes the chain brake wizard 👍

[@tdawg8605]

The space between the chain brake lever and the wrap is an important safety feature for kick back. As most are aware, when the saw kicks back the top of your hand hits the chain break lever and trip the break to stop the chain from cutting your face. So when I see guy removing them or bending them right out of the way I cringe. the chain break will make the difference between a wack in the noggin and a severe injury. Just saying. Nobody that has cut trees can say they have never had a kick back. This is a great video. TC Mahalo Tinman🤙🤙🤙

Great video as always 🙏 do these mechanisms need grease? When taking mine apart it seems to be coated in grease, especially the inner spring area. Thanks!

[@bobrees4363]

When messing with roll pins, the absolute best investment you can make is a set of roll pin punches and a set of roll pin starter punches. They make life so much easier.

I thought the newer style was tough to work with but the older style is definitely more finicky. Which year 372's or what model used the clutch cover with Husqvarna cast into the side instead of the sticker?

[@justinweaver8107]

Hope u are well buddy hope baby an wife are doin well sir. Stay warm

[@joebrent2762]

Sometimes a third hand (vise) comes in handy when you are trying to compress something and hold on to it at the same time. Or something that looks so simple is really something quite complicated. Nice work. Stay warm up there eh!

AWESOME video tinman .peace an love from scotland stu an family.

[@bell428]

Hey Tinman, you wouldnt happen to have an extra adjuster and screw for the band would ya? Have a really nice cover but im missing those parts

[@jbplays7302]

Do ya wanna sell that cover??

[@leonardobatistarocha7956]

I'm am from Valinhos São Paulo Brazil 🇧🇷

[@aaronpowell4885]

Great detailed walk through and explanation!

[@ocsplc]

Tinman: just picked up my own early edition 288xp turd saw. I’m not quitting or giving up on it. Took me two days to work up the courage to even peek at the piston through the intake and muffler ports. Meh…could be worse. If all I need to do is a top overhaul I’ll be happy. Got the old metal chain brake, dented and bent of course…. Why do I get myself into these things?

[@tinmanssaws]

Cause it's fun...

[@ocsplc]

@@tinmanssaws Tinman. Glad I caught you: how do I get that cheap plastic choke on my 288xp without cracking off one of those two tynes?

[@kasuntharindu7017]

Can we connect 365 parts to 266xp?

[@georgehitchen7526]

Hi there , Can anyone share comment or information on 266xp Swedish built vs. Slovenia built , are the TOMO's built saws of comparable quality to the Swedish built saws , any physical differences? Love the chanel. Best Regards George

[@themaraca]

I have a 385cd. Is it the same process?

[@tinmanssaws]

Very similar

[@jeffkenyon7084]

Ive gone threw 14 2000 count boxes of framing and sheathing nails in the best 2 1/2 week thince starting a new house build so I need a fast framing gun bostich for me

[@DarrinSmith-v7l]

Where do you buy your brake bands?

[@tinmanssaws]

I dig through my parts bins and usually find what I'm looking for.

[@ocsplc]

Tinman: I’ve got a metal inertia brake on an old 288xp. Can I retrofit the plastic brake on the old hardware ?

[@tinmanssaws]

No they are totally different

[@ocsplc]

@@tinmanssaws ok. Thanks. I purchased an oem clutch cover with the plastic handle found on models after 90 I think. I hope that system works on the saw

[@joehackett9471]

I have a 266xpw it has the old style but no brake band!

[@Neighborhoodgo2guy]

Those chain brakes can be troublesome

[@jasoncarroll891]

👍🏻

[@emmanuelcaballero]

can you sell me a crankshaft for mcculloch pro mac 850 on eBay?

[@jbbolts]
