How tight does the clutch nut need to be on a P 62? I don't want to overtighten or not get it tight enough.

Honestly, I don't know the exact number. Make sure you use a quality lock nut though. I usually use the good enough, redneck torque wrench.

Flywheel nuts on the big P series saws including the P62 is 25 - 30 ft. lbs.
Clutch nut is 18- 22 ft. lbs.

Thanks for that. I was going to add a dab of blue locktite to the lock nut when I put it back on.

Lock Nut

The one on my FarmSaw resembles an acorn nut with a partial dome. If you purchased it used the correct nut may have been replaced with something that does not lock. Locktite probably a good idea no matter.

I'm going to try to find a new nut local if possible. I don't know what threads it is so I'm going to take it with me tomorrow.

3/8-24 any hardware/fastener store will have them. I'd get at least grade 5.

 

[mdavlee]

Alright thanks for that. That will speed up my search. I was going to try to get a grade 5 lock nut for it.

Solid looking old 620 Will; someone did a off color paint job on it. Is it a 620 Super or a reg. 620 ?

I finally got to cut with the p 62 today. It seems to have more torque than the 394 but cuts about the same speed. I'm sure with a longer bar it might do better than the 394.

Your probably right Jerry. I don't know much about these saws, except that I like them, LOL. How do I tell super from Non Super? I will be getting them this weekend.

Check the tag on the front of the flywheel shroud, if its a 620 Super it will have 620S stamped into the metal tag. Otherwise it will just have 620 stamped on the tag. Usually the top covers on the Supers were copper colored like the one I have.
