Husqvarna special tools

[Saw Dr.]

Can someone steer me toward or forward me a current Husky special tools catalog? We keep getting strato Husky saws in, and I'm ready to throw down the coin for intake adapter flanges for a couple of models. I cannot find a catalog anywhere newer than 2008. In specific, I'd like a 455/460 flange, and a 575/576 (maybe it fits 570 also?). We have a 576 in now on its second visit, and I'm tired of guessing. Luckily, the local Husky shop is not liked by some, and they'll give us more than one try to make it right. I'd also like to get the hardware to flash AT systems, as nobody else around here can do it.

See if this helps. I can't get it to open on this computer.

Neil, that link shows up as a grass catcher manual???

 

[blsnelling]

Don't you use a grass catcher to work on Husky strato saws?

 

[Saw Dr.]

Maybe the special tools are IN the grass catcher?

Lol. I found that also, Neal. Thanks for trying. We have a "reciprocal parts exchange" of sorts with a not-so-local Husqvarna dealer. They just had a baby within the last 48 hours, and I have been asking for months on the catalog already. The likelihood of me getting anything through that channel without a part # is exceedingly small. Hopefully Spike or someone can hook me up.

I've gotten the catalog from the Husky site before. I don't have a current one and obviously I haven't found it with this effort!!!

The special tools tend to be listed in the Workshop Manuals - but then you have to find those of course.....

"Flanges" sounds like parts though, not tools - so I'm not really sure what you are looking for?

Older ones are there, but no reasonably new ones (the newest I could find today is from 2003).

You should see one ported.

I'm looking for the fixtures to block off the intake for pressure/vacuum testing. The complex intake design makes blocking it by conventional means impractical if not impossible. Blocking it off at the cylinder is of no use, as that is not uncommon to be the source of the leak. That, and some of those intakes are difficult (or impossible) to remove without cylinder removal.

I see!

I'm about to order some Husky parts. I'll look in the system for you when I'm doing it.

Well why not go to your Husky dealer and have them print you off a copy of the Service Tools Catalog?

Don't bother getting the AT reader, as a non dealer without the updates available to you its pretty much useless.

Mainly because they also used to be the Stihl dealer in our area. They never were terribly high volume, and when we got started, Stihl offered the franchise to us in order to get an "elite" dealership. There is still a little bad blood over that, though the owners of both stores finally meet a few weeks back, and they hit it off petty well.

My dealer doesn't mind ordering the tools for me, but reminds me they have a service department. I have been getting tools little by little. It does make the job easy when you don't have to make a tool and just pull out the tool box. I just wish Husqvarna had a seal puller like Stihl. Also if you have a Northern tool near you they can order the stuff for you and you can use the coupons that come in the mail.

You ever use the Stihl seal puller? There are much better options out there, a simple drywall screw and pliers work better and faster.

Last time I used my Stihl seal puller was about the last time I dug my dwell meter out of my tool chest.

 

[decableguy2000]

Nope, but I've heard they are the cat's meow I can't swallow the price and just use a screw driver and a good pick.

I looked all over the Husky parts site and couldn't find a catalog anywhere.
