Done my 2800 cause the case was leaking oil, so I went ahead and went through the whole thing.

The best advice I can think of for pulling one all apart is to keep all the fasteners, brackets etc for sub assemblies together in containers and label them if you need to and take lots of pics when you are pulling it apart.
If you can find a repair manual, that's a big help.
If you decide to get to it later after you pull it apart, this really helps of you're not familiar with the saw.
If you're over 50, don't put anything anywhere "safe" so you will be able to find it. All in one box is best.

I agree with Tim. Taking lots of pictures can be a big help. I have taken lots of saws completely down and split the cases on them. Some of them I split cases on were because they needed welding and others for new bearings. I even have a Husqvarna K960 concrete saw that I split the case on and put in a new crank and bearings. I took lots of pics with my phone and it paid off because I took it apart and did not put back together until 2 months later.

Very nice Nate! It is a small world. I have the 4hp version which looks real close to yours. They are strong runners Never had any problems with it other than braking a shear pin hogging it in 18 inches of snow - 2010 blizzard that came up through PA. Parts are nowhere to be found so I made a new one... There should be a model and serial # stamped in the back on the frame just above where the gear changer goes in. The metal tag on the engine is only the engine model and serial #.
I have the 1969-78 parts and repair manual. If you ever need anything PM me and I'll do what I can to get you the info. If you give me the model and serial number I can tell you the year manufactured.
Thanks! This one is the 4hp version as well. I went to the place I pick saw parts and pulled an new starter assembly for mine yesterday, bolted it up last night and it runs like a top! From what I can tell and what I've found online it's an early 70's model. The tag on the engine is an HS40 55265B. I have to find the # on the frame still, just haven't looked yet.

PM'd some web links that I found today. There's a whole forum for snowblowers like we do chainsaws! Check out some of the snowblower restorations. They are incredible!

I've totally taken apart several 3400's. Split case replaced bearings, seals, etc. even repainted a few. My first one was my 3400 I bough new in the late 7o's or early 80's. Just used it in Vermont and it still runs great.
That would be me...

I did on my 3700. Split case and resealed. Didn't replace the bearings though.
You have done some very nice restorations over the years.
I have split 4 or 5 to put in new bearings. It's not hard. Just have to use a little common sense and take your time. I find that bad things happen when I get in a hurry.

How would one go about replacing the roller bearings? Heat them?
? No one, I'm alone on this?

I do not heat them. I use an arbor press.
Go Camp, Real Tree, that would be sweet. I've thought about it but not good at painting multi-colors.
