First rule; never tighten all bolts until you have them all started, that way you can move the application to line up all bolts and holes then proceed to tighten !! Secondly where bolts or nuts are subject to vibration a small drop of semi-permanent thread lock cures this problem. 🤔😜
Hey Chris...put a rubber band around the screws after you have the heat guard in place. Start your bolts in the block and then just break the rubber band.
@@InTheWoodyard Chris I’ll send you money for shipping if your ever want to get rid of some saws, but you have to sign it because that would add 10 horsepower
I'm way behind on watching your great videos,I was watching your video on firewood pricing and noticed you left out a big cost. Granted it's not firewood cost specific but how about cameras,microphones and your time filming and editing? Plus needing computer and monthly phone bill. Just things that up your cost and lower the already thin profit.
That has nothing to do with the firewood business, this is a different business, with its own income and is separate. I know it sounds strange but the youtube is not part of the firewood business but the firewood is the show for the channel.
Hey Chris I have interest in starting a RU-vid channel I work with asphalt in the summertime so I have a seasonal job laid off in the winter from up in Merrill wi wondering if you would be interested in making a video or two On the 22-28 with a 16 foot folding conveyor sometime in September or November if you have an email or something that would be easier to contact you from please let me know you showed quite a while back a fab tech processor my grandpa has the same one and we have two forwarders wondering if you’d be interested And making a video about the new wood splitter and all his woods equipment lmk if you have any interest thanks …Ben
I saw a squirrel the other day he had his hands up in the air standing on a 30-in round saying thank you Lord. As the world gets crazier the nuts are easier to find.
for the gaskit part one side put on Permatex® High Tack® Gasket Sealant, 4 OZ and to help get te plate on use some sting or better fish line to tie it on and bolt in the othere and press in on the borlt with the alen wrench make your life easyer
I am an owner of a holtzfarma 372 XP. It is not quit the quality of your saws but the quality of many of the repair parts are close and about 1/4 the price. Your saw that lost compression is most likely the cylinder or piston and is available for less tan $20. Good luck. I am building a spliter and bundler .
Hey Chris...very surprised that you didn't the time to vacuum or blow out all that saw dust while you had the muffler out!! A clean saw is a happy saw.
I have at least 1 parts saw for every size saw I carry! Them 372's were the saw too have! I just did a bunch of maintenance on my saws today!! Your a saw repair pro now lol!! Stay safe my friend
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 I definitely keep all of my old worn out saws for spare parts too. You never know when you can need something from one of the junkers. Take care buddy!!😀😀 Logger Al
hi up there maybe the bigger problem is the color of your saw just saying , lol . i do believe you use your saws more in a year then most do in a life time .so really you got a life time of use from it . would you slow down a bit . take care john
just think of the money you saved doing it yourself!! i do all my own stuff! never brought a saw into a dealer! actually the 572xp is the first brand new saw i've ever owned! and i'm liking it!
perhaps a drop or 1/2 a drop of loc tight on those muffler bolts ? Maybe a can of brake cleaner before the next R&R , just to keep things clean and happy ? J B weld will fix that crack , easy as pie. 24 hour dry time .
Don't cut yourself short you're a good mechanic! If you have any questions ask your brother Kenny. Where is Tony? Where is that 592 Husqvarna? Oh my goodness the anticipation is killing me!
I can’t believe that broken muffler didn’t cause some type of lean condition on the saw. Guess the 576XP auto tune helped maybe. Possibly a good argument for larger dawgs on your saw so you are not prying on the muffler so much. Congratulations on the subscriber gains as well👍
Hey, if any of your are going to buy our host a birthday or Christmas gift, a set of T-Handle wrenches in both US and Metric sizes as well as Tork ends plus a variety of strait ends and philips would be nice along with the wall rack to keep them from getting lost on the bench. Ball end is nicer and why not get them from Germany? Bob in Nevada
New bolts and red locktite. Have to use locktite at least or it will be loose after 10 tanks of fuel. The bolts cost about 25-35 cents each from a good hardware or autoparts store. M5x7 M5x10 and M6x15 IIRC
You can fix the old cracked cover with heavy metal screen and heavy duty soldering iron. Melt the screen into the underside of the plastic, then give a good coat of epoxy. It'll be stronger than the original.
I used to have 10 saws various models and some I would never use, sold some and bought a couple brand new ones. One thing I always do is buy spare maintenance and wear parts. Husqvarna is great about having a lot of aftermarket support parts availability. Best thing to use to clean the saw is compressed air, and would buy a nice T-handle for working on the saws.
Husky should have used a double ended bolt/stud with a threaded end on the outside to take a pair of nuts. They saved 50 cents and cost every owner a hassle. Bob in Nevada
Smart move buying the same model saws Chris, having a boneyard you can raid for parts is great. Don’t sell yourself short, one man without a processor, you do Huge production, I’d say your in the top 1/10 of one percent! Hey that makes you one of those “Elites,” but in a good way. Take care
Jist did that on my stihl 361, new oem mufflers are obselete. Wire welded the broken bracket and put it back together. Had a broken muffler bolt, that had to be extracted. Pull the screen so it breathes better.
Good job, you got it installed, that's all that matters! Looking at the top two bolts, perhaps ( 2 ) of the long Allen's would have made it a little easier for maintaining the alignment into the female threads, but you got it on, that's what matters here... I've been using a 55 Rancher ( tinker toy ) for close to ( 20) years now as I had a 2nd hand ( used ) lower end installed about ( 8 ) years ago now... I am in the market for new saw & will be purchasing the 372 Husky. I had the opportunity about two years ago to buy the last of the non- computer version, I hesitated & the dealer sold them out quickly... To makes matters worse, he took a 100 bucks off those saws too boot, snooze , you lose as the old saying goes... Excellent presentation, Thanks, Bill... :~)
Just an FYI: Put the circular end of a box wrench on the short end of the hex wrench for leverage when tightening the bolts with the long end of the hex wrench.
Just cross thread the bolts in and they will never come back out again! I use the blue thread lock tite on any that want vibrate loose alot! Your junker was well worth dropping a new top end in, well before taking all the parts from it. IMO
When the round tube (guide) breaks again get a new muffler. Don't wait for it to break apart again. Exhaust leaks change the fuel ratio and you can burn a piston up. Than you'll have two parts saws. You can find them used on ebay or aftermarket and not pay as much.
