Inside the "Triple Nickel"

[sachsmo]

Anyone know if the bar from my JD 66SV would work on this saw? Wish I was home to check.

Shouldn't you be working?????????????????

The Husky specs show the 555 about 1/2 pound lighter than the 562, otherwise, they look pretty close. Anybody know what's in that 1/2 pound?

Thanks.

Bar mount area/clutch cover and air filter/top cover, as far as I know.

One part in the oiler also is different, likely to oil 28" bars on the 562 - but that doesn't add any weight of course.

Looks like a nice saw, I feel it gets overshadowed by the 562xp. I cant get over the looks of the 562 but that's just me. I like 60cc saws as a do everything saw that's also affordable. That's what drove us to the Dolmar 6100 (and away from Stihl and Jonsered) which has been awesome but I don't think you could do wrong with any new 60cc saw. We do have a gap between the Dolmar and Pioneer P-61 though...Ill be looking forward to more updates and thanks for doing this thread.

Worm wheel which drives the oiler is different.
562 is butt ugly to me.

It's amazing to me how well the Stihl MT system works........compared to how poorly the Husky AT system behaves.

I might would trade my AT saw for a like new 365 (old style closed port). Other than that it's a keeper!

Yes it is - forgot about that. That likely is because of regular vs. small spline drums though - and it can be swapped around as far as I know.

That and the better build, quality thing and there you are.

The thickness of the wheel is greater on the 562. Put A 2260 gear on a 562 and one half of the needle bearing is exposed.

Well, the MT is the (early) AT - and the MT carb issues has been showing up in the UK.

I suspect is was a bad move to have Zama develop the somewhat different carbs that are needed on those saws....

Just curious Brad, notice any glaring "quality control" "issues"? Are you considering burning it yet, and getting a creamsickle?

And Why Wouldn't You? HaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!

Only if that step in the squish band is unintentional. BTW, most all of my work saws are Husky.

I meant it with a wink and a nod. But whatever's real, call it.

I am seeing more and more pro loggers with the 562 in the back of the truck ,they must be an ok saw for power if they production log with them ,i am sure they are smaller trees with only a 28 inch bar on them though
