Thanks for the video. I didn't know how to get clutch unscrewed. Now I do. I do know that your drive sprocket was toast on the old one and it was binding on the chain. That's why it was smoking the clutch. That happens from chain not being oiled or running it out of bar oil. Thanks again
Hey!! Great vid. I’m watching in France. Been down in my woods felling some chestnut, chain skipped off, couldn’t get it back on spinning. Checked everything and saw a chunk of the sprocket has broken off. Getting stuff fixed here is crazy expensive so I’m saving huge bucks following your demo… once I get the part from my Husky dealer. Many thanks mate!
Thank you very much for doing this. I just replaced the cracked fuel purge lines, and that primer bulb, this one set up for so long, and then I run into this with the drum/clutch. I really like your approach with the rope stop and everything else.
When I first started, before any of these failures, I did have that in the WRONG position, and you're right! It was a horrible deal. I tried screwdrivers, probable a knife against a wrench, I don't remember, or whatever to get some cam-like action. I finally got it, but I don't want to go through it again.
Hardest and slowest way to remove the clutch, easier to leave the plug in, whack the clutch with a brass drift and spin it off…left hand thread of course. Clutch even has arrows and a notch, indicating “off”.
You could put a root rake on your tractor and bump the piles up. But you gotta get the dirt out of the trees to burn better and blow out your air filters every 2 days if you do that.
Hey man. I really need your help. I bought a used 455 rancher. You clutch drum has the big teeth on the back and it said 3/8 on it. When I look for the 3/8 drum anywhere online/Amazon only the .325 drums look like that. The 3/8 look totally different. Very confused.
