Using The Husqvarna Crankshaft Installation Tool

Well, I do the MM on mine, I put them in the wife's oven!! For real I do!

 

Anyone who wants to do a quality job without a bunch of extra mashing of teeth, needs them.

 

Unfortunately. I think I'm going to need that. I tried a bottom end once. It never spun loose. Well finally got a project 362xp running. I need a new piston. I don't know if the jug can be saved. Looks like 2 mm of plating peeled above the exhaust. I will post some pics if you all want. Here is when it happened yes caught it on video. any one have any advice or parts to help. Just a bad night for tinkering.

 

I did many 362 365 371 372 and never used a tool. I could split one in less then 30mins and be gutted. Just a redneck methods for the poor folks like me.

Heck had one sent to me a guy couldnt get apart. No time, back together and sent back out.

Do all my poulans the same redneck ways.

 

She done blowed up! What do you want to do with it David? Keepit a 362 or what? There are a bunch of things you can do!

 

Kev you volunteering? I thought the thing has been how you need the real tools What have you used for tools?

 

Idk bummed right now. I have it to compare and learn from finally got it going good and she gave up. Ain't it just like a woman. I have a 365 jug but need a piston have a 372 that needs milled. Idk Just no bueno

 

Sorry I will go back in my corner and just watch the pros with REAL tools David.

Somewhere it is all listed in a thread on CR sort of like this with the redneck methods of others too.

 

Alright I'll check it when I get home. Had to go to the gym. Just that ticked off.

 

I can help you out David, I believe I have a 365SP piston I'll check in the AM, might be a Meteor, IDK. It is yours for the shipping.

 

That would be awesome. Thank you!

 

I don't know about corners, but I will also employ those very same alternative methods when necessary. Takes me more time to do the job and I always worry more but 'ya gotta do what ya gotta do".

 

Reading into it wrong . Not corners but corner like I said. You know like when a kid gets put in the corner for a time out now days. Man I would have took a corner over those switches and belts anyday.

 

Kevin, I got what you meant, what I meant is no one has to be in a corner becuse of the methods they employ or their process to get the job done! It took both you and I years to learn what alternative methods work the best, some of the folks here may have never attempted to repair a saw.

 

Not really THAT expensive, if you do it as needed over time. The problem is that some of the tools because of their design wear over time and must be replaced. An example is any one of the 4-5 case splitters, the conical centring collar on the pin becomes worn after many uses and makes it difficult to use. The centering collar is made of softer metal than the crankshaft so as not damage the crank, however this makes it wear quickly.

 

Anyone know if the 395 crank install tool will work on the 3120? Didn't see the 3120 listed as compatible

Adam, the part number for the 394/3120 is 502 50 30-08 my guess is the 395 uses the same tool. Same PN for the 281/288.

Thank you Tim, just ordered it. That same number was listed in the 3120 manual, but the description was "seal installer" dealer confirmed puller
