First 61 I’ve worked on, seems pretty repair friendly so far lol! Anyways, is the oil seal supposed to come with the oiler when you take it off? My instinct says no but it’s my first older husky I’ve worked on. Whatcha guys think?

Yes the clutch side crank seal is pressed into the oil pump not in the case. If your replacing the crank seals also replace the o-rings. There’s one on the oil pump and seal carrier on the flywheel side.
 
Question regarding the husqvarna 61 and 61 rancher if both have the same size bore and stroke then why is both a different hp.
Bump. Are they different hp? All I know is what I see on acresinternet. I was wondering why 61 and 61 Rancher are listed separate. Is there any difference other than cosmetics?
 
Not that I need another project but I got a local craiglist hit for a Husqvarna 61. Asking $150.

Per the posting:
"Top cover has small crack and chip and the saw needs typical front rubber suspension bushings replaced."

Fair price or should I offer less?

As an aside, I've read that it can be converted to a 272XP, how costly and how much work is involved?

Thats a decent price, cost of conversion is limited by your imagination.
 
Having some trouble with a 272xp, is there a piece that goes between the flywheel and the case similar to the one pictured I pulled off a 61 I had laying around? The flywheel is rubbing on the seal and the key sheared off when I went to pull it. Any help would be appreciated
