    8.2 mm/ 9.5 is the distance of the width of the long slot for the bar/chain adjustment ?
    or the hole size of the 2 bar mounting holes.

    So my Husqy 61 bar won't fit my 359 ?
    or visa / versa
    Are the bar mount nuts different threads too ?

    Oiler holes different distances too ?

    I "assumed" I could use the bar & bar nuts of the 60 cc Husqy 61 on the 60 cc Husqy 359.
    Not true ?

    I believe that your 61 is large mount, and the 359 is definitely small mount. The bar nuts are the same, I think.

    here is a link to all the photos that were taken while working on the saw. There are 5 pages of pictures showing everything that was done to it through out the various stages.

    http://photo.blsnelling.com/Chainsaws/Husqvarna-555/45699926_dKmZmv#!i=3693601186&k=8pkKJht

    Ok for all you saw nuts i assume it is still safe to run my 50:1 fuel mix in this saw? Also I use High octane gas and Stihl full synthetic mix. Would you all recommend switching to a different oil? If so what?

    I would highly recommend more oil in your mix for a modified saw. Your other saws will be fine with it too. Guys running ported worksaws are running 40:1 or more. Most of the engine builders recommend 32:1.

    The Stihl oil is fine to keep using.

    Congrats buddy !!!!!! Im interested to hear your thoughts on the comparison.
    The balance on the new Husky 545/550xp....555/562xp is totally different than the old style saw. You are gonna fall in love. Then you are gonna have to send the 357xp to Ohio :)

    Ok well that's good to know. Now with the autotune I won't even need to worry about switching blend ratio's correct?

    Can't wait to give them a try side by side. So far the 555 only has 4 tanks of fuel through it so from what I have been reading it sounds like it needs a few more before it really settles in? Have you found that to be true with your saws. I was originally watching for a 545 or 550 but changed my mind when I saw this one.

    That's correct. I doubt you would notice much of a difference in your other saws going from 50:1 to 40:1. 32:1 might require a re-tune.

    Yep.. What he said ;)

    That is a beautiful saw Cert. Hope it serves you well for numerous years

    I'd PM, text, call, etc Brad and ask what he was running. Because there was a good amount of oil on all surfaces when he took that saw apart. I wouldn't be surprised if he was running 32:1.

    I personally run 36:1. Right in between the 40:1 and 32:1 that is always recommended.

    Congrats again bud!!

    I sent Brad a PM and he told me he runs 32:1 in his saws. so I am going to definitely bump my fuel mixture to 32:1 or 36:1.
    Looks like my other saws will be getting a retune.......

    The change from 40:1 recommended mix ratio went to 50:1 with no change to the internal saw parts.
    It was driven by EPA regulations.

    50:1 is pretty lean on oil, remember the oil in the fuel is the lubrication for the internal moving parts

    Going with 40:1 is going to give more lubrication & possible more power due to less friction.
    I don't know the break off point to where more oil in the fuel causes less power,
    but like said 32:1 & 36:1 work well.

    IMO Amsoil 2 cycle oils have thousands of hours of testing behind them. Amsoil makes oil, that's what they do.
    Pretty sure Stihl or Husqy don't make oil, my guess is they buy bulk & have it packaged it in their containers.
    Be nice to know who makes their oil.

    I run Amsoil Saber at 40:1. (3.2 oz per gallon)
    (Husqy 359 book says to mix 50:1)

    To me its info thats not really needed. Been using Husky mix for over 20 years... And am still using the saws from 20 years ago too. Still great compression.... No seized motors.... No failures. Ive paid less for my oil... So who is really ahead of the game ?
    It comes down to what makes a fella sleep at night :)
    Btw..... I sleep just fine not having an XP on most of my saws as well ! I always say... Its not the saw.... Its the person running and maintaining it.
    Thats more of a rant than i figured id have lol ! :)

    Agree, the info not needed, but can be useful
    it's nice to know Oregon makes Husqvarna bars & chain
    & Speeco makes Oregon & huskee splitters
    MTD makes troybilt... etc....
    With several choices / brands out there,
    information helps me in my decision making

    Bet you're following it on the GPS tracker
    When within 50 miles, you have alarm bells set to ring ?
