Yeah. Farm and Home.
There mechanic is a cool cat. I love the store. It just took forever to get the saw back. They diagnosed the saw based on what one of the bulletins were (coil, computer, etc).
Took over a month to get the 1st round done. Once all the electronics were replaced, they started it and it did the same thing. Thats when he did the pressure test. Huge leak on the clutch side seal.
They did great work. No complaints on the work. There mechanic and me have B.S.'d quite a bit.
As for the store itself. Its where I go for everything. I know everyone there and they all know me and my family. Couldn't ask for better service or better people.
The time was the only concern. But, in the end, it was done and done right. I was just wondering if there were any early problems with bearings and/or seals. And the bulletin posted above gave me that info.
You were very fortunate to have Steve be your guy under the circumstances. Coincidentally, I just came from there and always check in with him whenever I'm down there 'cause he knows I'm into saws and has tucked a few "junkers" away for me that they only have some shop time into, sold the owner a new one, and would otherwise just toss.
Anyway, I pop in to say "Hi" and ask if he's got anything I may be interested in. He says, "nope", "but I gotta tell ya about this damned 562XP fiasco I just went through."
Bottom line, it was his first M-tronic in for service and he went the Husky support route vs. following his instincts, which would have obviously located the leak right away...and not gotten your saw back totally rebuilt essentially for free due to warranty expiration. Was referred to a completely different service bulletin by less than competent support at Husky for the solution which precipitated all the unnecessary work and contributed to the length of time it took to get things resolved properly. Knew something still wasn't right and finally ended up with the right Husky support to get it all done right...and to the customer's satisfaction...and under warranty.
Good dude. Good wrench. Does mostly 4-stroke work, but can find his way around anything given the right info and resources. Also now has the software/firmware setup to t-shoot the otherwise more M-tronic related problems associated with those saws.
Yep. Good folks down there all the way around and Steve went to bat for ya on this one.
And it sounds like you're not that far away from me. If ya ever need anything or jes wanna drink some beer with a total stranger, gimme a holler.
