562XP Replacement bottom end?

[logeeland]

Is there a way to tell by looking at the saw if the bottom end of the 562 was replaced? The seller says it was done by Husqvarna. I have seen them rebuilt, the color of the crank case gasket was green, but if it was a full factory replacement I would assume they would be black or grey. Any advice would be appreciated.

I bought a OEM crankcase through Husqvarna and the gasket was green.

Also look for the black serial number badge on the pto side of the crankcase.

I know the serial # tag location.

I would doubt Husqvarna issued a new serial number badge for the replacement crankcase. Mine oem crankcase didn't come with one, guessing they want you to use your old badge to put on the new case.

Isn't the serial number tag on the the case above the oil tank below the chain brake? Buried?

yes, what I'm saying is if the tag is there it was either reinstalled by the owner/dealer or it shouldn't be there at all if its a replacement case. You are correct on the black/grey gaskets on the factory new off the shelf huskys. All my 562's 2260's have them. The green gasket was on a OEM husqvarna case I bought to replace a cracked case. More than likely you have an OEM case with the original top end mounted to it
