Husqvarna 372XP-Smashed Beyond Repair? 

I crushed an 044 with a tree. Threw it under the work bench and bought a new saw. After I retired I drugged it out and rebuilt it. It was bit costly but did some hotrod work to it for the fun of it and sold it.

Think I'd have walked in the door (broken saw at home) to look at new saws...! Good Video!

372. XP is a nice saw!

I would have fixed it myself. I would have used some oem and some aftermarket parts

Around here a straight -gassed 372 beat up is fetching $400-$500! When did these become gold plated?

Bless Sign the owner of this saw for a maintenance course. Bought a new saw is best move. Plus a free how to keep it clean book. Thanks 😊

That saw was ABUSED long before it was run over. I would have been too embarrassed to even take that saw to a shop even before it was run over. He probably looked up the price of a new one and then freaked out and wants the abused saw fixed...

I wouldve sold the guy a new saw...and took this home myself and rebuilt it...of coarse it wouldnt have been stock after that...cause i wouldve had my greasy, filthy paws on it and probably NOBODY wouldnt wanted it then 😂.. but definitely get a new saw...or at least a good used saw till they got out of the "Beaver Swamp" where it looks like they were at...Great vid! BTW...yall still got that saw around?

Prob don’t remember. My Husqvarna 445 was leaking bar oil terribly, emptying. Finally warm weather and cleaned vent. Oils perfectly. Passing it on to help someone.

Finally, a saw slammed on the bench that was rode hard and put away wet. You'll see saws in that condition selling on ebay for stupid prices, and they sell.

Good job

Doing the fix myself. Id fix it. I definitely personally prefer a gen1 300 series saw, or pre 2010 x-torque, would be one big reason. . It wouldn't be a daily driver though. probably a fire wood/fun saw, with various changes. I wouldn't rely on it for falling big firs. . Things like the plastic top and muffler id sorce as knock off parts. . Though it would still be a spark arrestor type muffler, as Oregon department of forestry, likes to give tickets for spark screen violations. Ive ran saws with a single fin broken with no issues, but thats far more than a single cooling fin broken. Id swap to a full rap handle. I find in some cases it provides a smidgen more protection to the saw, but not every time. . Anyway thats my worthless 0.01c

Could just be camera angles, but it looked to me that the bar was bent to the left and a little twisted to the right. Then, you did not consider at that point the drive cog and bar oiler and and and. Money pit. I would opt for a nice 572XP, but might have to "save-up" $,$$$.cc. I have to admit that I have crushed a saw that a large oak log rolled over; although bend and dented and fugly, it ran quite well without repair. Then the commercial string trimmer, a Green Machine of many years of faithful service, did not fair so well when it evidently rolled off of the road berm into the tall pasture and my brush hog found it fot me....

Putting the finishing touches on a clapped out one I overpaid for. Saving the good OEM cylinder - went Hyway BB. Easily spent 300 on parts and painted plastics. CAD indeed. May need a 12 step program.

Thank you

There a collectors item, good for parts! Especially with the Mahle cylinder

Thing is the OE 372s are are a little more powerful than the strato nowadays. Id of probably went with a 572 if me. Good stuff see ya next time.

i would order oem parts i didnt have from you over the phone lol she still has spark & she's worth repairing

I think I would have started looking for a parts saw, or gone non oem for everything except the cylinder.

With Enough Time and Effort That Saw Can Be Repaired 😀😊 With That Pile Of Saws You Have It Can Be Repaired 😊👍🏼 Good Morning 👍🏼 I Would of Bought a New Saw Too Unless I Had Access To a Bunch of Parts Saws

Granted most people are not mechanically inclined enough. I would have rebuilt it, but it never would have made it to you. I would have torn it down bought some parts and put it back together.

Yep stuff happens unless you notathing wish more shops new that

Maybe save the cylinder for another repair

Could you guys tell me where to purchase the light Scott uses in the video the flexible one he uses to check out cylinders and fuel tanks thank you in advance

I think I would have walked in to buy a new saw and donated smashed one for parts.

Great information. Sounds like no sentimental value. Prob user not fixer. I liked you gave the last rights. Did it have a donner card?

I would have bought a new saw straight away. That thing was crap.

I would've fixed it. I'll buy it.
