I’m Still working on my MS 361 rebuild, had to get a couple more parts for it, I needed a new fly wheel side crank bearing after it got a new one damaged when trying to install it… That one has been a bugger trying to install!
I have not gotten to install the crankshaft yet, but it just arrived in the mail today. It’s a Tecomec brand which I heard a while ago used to be made in Italy and most guys it seems didn’t mind their parts. My thoughts is at least it is an “name brand” aftermarket company so I’m hoping it will be decent.
Unfortunately on the box that the crankshaft was in it says made in China on it… Not really something that I wanted to see.
However, after looking over crank and checking the bearing for play, it actually seems like a really high-quality crank for the money and for an aftermarket part. Anyone have good experience with these cranks? It looks very similar to the OEM Stihl one.
