Right, just cut the stud off. It's a newer version thing.

Just hate to do that....look for the saw in the tp soon!

I got mine back on Friday! I haven't had a chance to try it out, since I gave my 20" 3/8 bar away when I sold my 359...

Got this back, too! Thanks, Randy!!

Did the saw originally have a metal clutch cover?

That depends on when it was made (serial number?). Saws made after some point in 1996/1997 came with metal clutch covers.

 

[cgraham1]

I put a metal cover on mine, and I didn't notice any interference, but I haven't tried to mount a bar on it yet.

 

[Mattyo]

This one definitely interferes

I'll cut the nub off and see what happens

I can check the serial # but I think the clutch side case half is from another saw.... I don't remember.

New problem...this plastic bumper interferes. ..so I removed it...but then I had to switch the bolts...the lower one is longer but only fits in upper hole..

Why not just grind it down until the cover fits?

Which upper and lower bolts is this about?

It belongs on the upper screw - is that where you removed it from? It is odd you have to remove it because in all of the 262's I've done it never was a problem (plastic or metal covers), nor was the little tit you had to cut off. What is the part number of the casting for the brake?

 

[Mattyo]

I'll try it on upper...

 

[SawTroll]

OK - now I see what "bolts" it was about....

 

[Agrarian]

Also be careful switching bolts in this area. Longer bolts may have the possibility of breaking into the gas tank if you get too enthusiastic screwing.

I'm not sure I want to send anything to the monkey, it has taken three months to do "262xp day".

The plastic bumper fits fine on the upper...could have sworn the parts saw had it on the lower. Oh well. All is well...someone is gonna have fun with this saw.

He isn't taking work at the moment, as I recall it....

You could always send it over here, pho.

 

[Agrarian]

If you want it to look just a little better, take a heat gun to the leading edge of the top cover and flatten it out. Let it cool in the correct position and it should stay that way.

 

[Mattyo]

Agrarian, thanks for the top tip... I'll let the next guy do that though. I've done my part fixing all the figety things on this saw that I could... now someone else can touch up if they need to.

fyi, sawtroll.... saw is in the TP.... PHO ...
