Farmertec 372XP Build

I don't really have a break in procedure. I just ran it like normal. I did a muffler mod on it later on.

 

Soooo....this puppy been in wood yet?

 

While we were tuning the carb I had it is some wood but I haven't taken it out to the woods yet. I'm hoping to get it out into the woods this coming weekend if it isn't a muddy mess outside. I'll probably take the 28" bar off of it and put the 24" Husky Light bar on it.

 

Got some "seat time" with the saw today. It cold started on the third pull after two pulls with the choke wide open. I forgot to open the decompression valve the first pull and my arm definitely felt it. Couldn't imaging starting a big CC saw without a decompression valve. It cuts really good, it didn't bog down or even slow down when cutting up smaller stuff. I flush cut a 24" stump and it slowed down some but I forgot my wedges so I think that was because the chain was getting pinched. Would it cut even better with a muffler mod ?

Still playing with my gas to bar oil ratio. It's currently using about one tank of gas to about three quarters tank of bar oil. I gave the oiler another half turn when I got back to the shop to see if that gets me closer. It does like its gas though. That seems to be a common "complaint" that I've read about the 372.

It's sporting a 24" Husky Light bar in the below picture. The 28" Farmertec bar is way too heavy for day - day use IMHO.



Hadn't run the my 562XP in a while so I did some cutting today with it too. I noticed that there wasn't much of a difference in weight between the two saws. Out of curiosity I weighed them when I got home. The 372 had a full tank of gas and oil, and the 562 had about half a tank of oil and gas. The 562 has a 20" Husqvarna bar on it, and the 372 has a 24" Husky Light bar on it.

562XP - 15.5lbs roughly



372XP - 16lbs

 

Ive got a g660 kit ive been itching to tear into...do you know if anyone has a parts list/build sheet like the 372?

 

I’m not aware of one for the 660 off hand. I know brenndatomu built a 660, maybe he has one or knows where to get one. I followed a few different YouTube videos a couple guys from OPE did on their 372 builds. Those were a huge help.

The Farmertec Facebook group had some stuff in the files section for the various saw builds. I was able to get a parts diagram from there.

 

I'd have to dig around a lil now...there were a TON of 660 build groups/pages/threads a few years back...

 

Here is some 660 build vids from member 94BULLITT , this is just the first one...he has 'em all though...
