    Spark Plugs: Application Lookup vs Cross-Reference

    When I look up spark plugs using a spark plug manufacturers application lookup feature typically found on their websites - most of the time it agrees with the OEM recommendation. And in the case where I'm looking at a different brand from the OEM - I can also do a competitor cross reference from...

    Husqvarna 55 Sprocket and Spark Plug Questions

    I've had excellent experience with NGKs in my cars including my old Mazda rotaries way back in the day. But NGK's site is pretty underwhelming. When I look up Husqvarna 55 it croaks. And they don't have a cross reference function that I can find either. But when I use popular aftermarket spark...

    Husqvarna 55 Sprocket and Spark Plug Questions

    My old 55 (similar to 55 Rancher) from 2001 has the 2 piece type of sprocket that slides in and out on the splined clutch shaft. Once in a while if the chain is out of the sprocket or whatever - there's actually enough space around the sprocket that the chain can sometimes fall partially inside...

    Husqvarna 55 Cracked Off Case - Worth Replacing? Or Ignore?

    It's probably been like this for who knows how long before I stumbled across a piece of cast metal wedged between the case. And I've used it several times over the last couple years since discovering the broken tab. It wraps around a damper mount under the plastic mount plate on the side...

    Help w Oregon Chain Codes and Filing Specs

    Since I didn't see any followups here I contacted Oregon and got some further feedback. I'll share here in case anyone is interested. 1) I never got a clear answer on micro-chisel being the same as semi-chisel. Looking through the package or pictures online it 'appears' to be. My guess is...

    Help w Oregon Chain Codes and Filing Specs

    I'm looking at trying an Oregon Micro Chisel 20BPX (20BPX072G) chain on my Husky 55 (18" .325, 050 7T). I've got sandy conditions and am cutting red oak and hickory. Reading threads here - my understanding is that semi-chisel can hold up better in sandy conditions and may be easier to sharpen...

    2001 Husqvarna 55: Stay w/ .325 or Convert to 3/8 Chain?

    I've got a 55 purchased circa 2001. AFAIK it is identical to the 55 Rancher model save a different sprocket/bar/chain. (I could be wrong about that - that's my understanding) The 55 came w/ a .325 050 and the Rancher came with a 3/8 050 chain - both with 18" bars. Both are 53 cc with 3.4 hp @...
