Finally finished my 372 rebuild.

[GeoffM]

I bought this 372 of ebay last year as a project saw. The owner stripped it because of a fried piston, but also decided to replace seals and crank bearings. I think he then lost his nerve and sold it on the bay. Anyway first thing was to strip it completely and clean all the parts. Cases were sprayed and new bearings and seals fitted. A new P&C was fitted along with a few smaller bits and pieces, which had been mislaid by the previous owner. It fired right up and runs fine, so all in all I am pretty pleased with my first Husqvarna rebuild.

Looks great!

Judging by the crankcase, it looks like it was a LOW hr saw...

did you replace the top cover and the clutch cover as well??


looks good!

It probably was a low usage saw,very little wear anywhere apart from the P&C. The plastic parts were all just cleaned,no parts were replaced.The clutch cover I resprayed along with the crankcase halves.

The paint is RAL 2001 blood orange with clear laquer on top. RAL is the european code for paint and I think it is also available in the states.

You are right.The fun is finding all the bits first, so that you can make a start.

Good Job.

No matter whether new or old, there is always a great feeling that comes over a person when successful with a 'parts box' build. Almost a strange kinda high like its alive!

 

[Chris J.]

Good job, rep coming your way.

Is the muffler stock, or did you mod it? It's not the same as the muffler on my CS2171.

I agree with you entirely. Then when you pull the cord and it really does come alive, that makes it all worthwhile.

I really can't say if the muffler is stock, but it was in the box when I bought it. The saw is a 2002 model,so maybe the difference is in the model years of the two saws. It does sound good though.

Chris,

keep in mind,

Geoff lives in germany... he has the cut-off saw, or non-spark screen version...

That muffler is the same as the one that is on my 2171, it's probably an european-only type of thing, I imagine.

You are right guys, I do have the muffler without screen. The only one of my saws with a screen is my Dolmar 7900.
