Rebuildin Husky 372 XP...

[CTwoodnutt]

Hi Group!

I'm rebuilding my Husky 372 XP, due to a 'connecting rod to crankshaftbearing' failure.:msp_angry:
This is my first rebuild, so I am useing the help of an experienced friend.
The cylinder is ok, and just needs a light honing.
I'm replacing the Crank/piston/rings/seals/gaskets and any associated bearings etc.

-My question is: On the very bottom of the crankcase (inside) there are some scratches, which can be 'emery-papered' out.
There are however, two "micro-small, hair cracks" about 1/8" or less long, on the outer edge of the housing/case, which do go through the housing/case.

Is this a critical issue???

Could these be sealed with, say 'JB Weld, or Liquid /Steel etc?
I am currently unemployed, and HAVE to keep my repair costs to a minimum!
(So, I'm hoping that I DON'T have to buy a new [or used?] case/housing). :msp_scared:

I'm planning to buy all needed parts from Bailey's, as I've delt with them for years, and they are very reliable.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! :msp_wink:

post your list of needed parts in the swap meet and maybe we can save you some money. i would not rebuild a saw with any kind of cracked case. not even if its my own saw.

Pictures of the areas of concern always provide better technical support from the members.

Pics would be nice to see if it's in a critical area.
Do you use this saw for making $$ or for heating the house??
