Most all of the newer saws have nylon cages. Maybe the manufactures feel like the topend can eat nylon better than the steel cages when the bearings let go?
@@richardflagg3084 yes, that say that if the cage breaks it won't hurt the engine. I don't have a problem with what they're saying. What I have a problem with is their proprietary bearings sizes, because they give you no other choice. If they had any common sense, they's say "let's put a nylon caged 6202 or whatever in there and call it a day. If the damn things fail, people will have options", but no sir. It's their way or the highway.
@@1u5t1n Nylon cages fail because of heat. A steel cage will last longer but, there's an issue that would need to be resolved IE an air leak or carb problem if it actually got that hot to kill the bearing. Just my .02
@@1u5t1n Late reply, you're forgetting that most 5xx bearings have a center on the ball more against the crank and with a sealing ring in the bearing. In practice, this makes a crank 4-5mm slimmer on each side. You can see and feel the slimness of the powerhead very clearly on the 5xx compared to the 3xx and 2xx series.
Nice shirt rich haha surprised I ain’t heard you say that yet. Haha. Oh and nice chainsaw work! How does husky hold the saw back breaking in? Timing and rpm maybe. Keep hammering out the videos I’m exited to see the red armor test myself.
