Inside the "Triple Nickel"

[dl5205]

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

Yeah, but what do pro loggers know? They're too busy making a living to read AS.

Randy, have you seen a step in the squishband of these before, or does this look like a defect to you? The very outer edge is only .018", but is more like .025" just in from there.

Ain't gonna matter once the combustion chamber is cut...

I don't often cut the combustion chamber.

I see that in lots of saws.

Just one more reason I cut the squish rather than build pop up pistons.

 

[blsnelling]

I've seen flats that extend maybe .100", but I've never seen anything like this.

Just cut it. No worries.

Yep......it's an easy thing to do.

Come on in.......the water is fine.

I don't know about that here in okla., The water is cold right now

Approximately 8 ounces.

It's technically closer to 5 ounces

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.

Asked, and answered. You're welcome.

Brad have you started working on the chain for that 555 you better start it's going to take awhile do I need to send a pic of the file to use

 

[SawTroll]

Different scales (and individual saws) seems to come up with different results - which hardly is a surprice. If you really care about the exact weight, I guess you have to collect information for a while. Brads scale seems to be reading on the high side, based on what I have seen earlier......

 

[Mastermind]

I thought a 1/4 of an OZ was a deal breaker for you Niko.

Brad,

Put about 15 hours of run time on it before you start messing with it so you can actually see its true performance, versus having nothing to compare it to. They take a bit to fully wake up.

I'd like to mods this saw before 2024!

Wouldn't they still "wake up" after being modded?

I'm skeered! Lol

 

[blsnelling]

The way I see it, it's not broken before or after mods, so comparisons are consistent.

 

[Mastermind]

I'm skeered! Lol

I was too......but folks pushed me into doing it.

After gearing up to cut em on the lathe.....I see no reason to mess with popups at all.

I can cut the squish on most jugs in 30 minutes.
