Great video Chris. Learn from the old timers who have put the time in is what I have learned. Saved me more than once, now I am 40 and passing those same things on and still learning from the old timers. 😊👍🏻
Once upon a time, I had a similar issue with a woodheater - needed to tighten a nut in a hole just like that to adjust the bimetallic spring loaded air intake. I ended up making a 2 pronged fork out of an old flat file, and keyed it into 2 slots I filed into the head of the nut. It worked, but it sure was a pain in the ass.... Necessity is the mother of invention. Good job Ken. 👍😁🇦🇺
A Lot of great info, Thanks you Two ! I have used JB Weld for many things, oil pan on my truck, striped bolt on a dirt bike, can't beat this stuff. I like when Ken says “I will mix it on your forehead.” LOL 🤣
Good morning Chris, good reminder to check your nuts, Kenny pulled a McGyver repair job . Looks like he took your idea of the easy to locate pink tape. Leroy, “man behind the scenes “ have a good day
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 Before I would have tried J B weld on it. I would have tried folding over a small zip tie and plugged the hole. Then turned the screw in. That usually works pretty good for fixing striped holes on Huskys. Take care my friend!!😀😀 Logger Al
@@InTheWoodyard I watch Bellhopper do it all the time when he is fixing striped holes on Huskys. It seems like that lots of the Huskys have that problem. I think the newer ones like your 572 don't have quite as much trouble as the 3 series do.
Loved the Kenny and Chris engineering and repair video! I think the channel might have gained an additional "catch phrase". "Good Night Irene" and now "Check your Nuts". 😉 LeRoy is the best supervisor, hold the beer and enjoy the show! Bonus points for the Jonny cover on the Husky! 👍 Working man repairs, you gotta do what ya gotta do to make things work. You can't just chuck the saw in a corner and never use it again, unless you have lots money. That's when the regular guys will buy a good saw at a garage sale with a sign that says "runs but needs work". 😎 GNI and CYN
Why don't the stihls chainsaw cut straight? Is it something with the sharpening or all of them are like that? I have a stihl ms 291 and I'm about to upgrade, would you go with a husky? Thanks!
Enjoy the bantering between the brothers. Chris says”do the instructions say mix the JB on cardboard?” Ken replies “I will mix it on your forehead.” That was a good one.
You and your brother are hilarious, his line about going to Tony's house to have your nuts checked had me busting up. This channel deserves way more subscribers, keep up the great work Chris.
I wouldn’t have gone to all that bother with the JB Weld, I would have just got a couple of Phillips panhead self tapping screws which would thread into aluminium like a knife into butter 😜
Ken used Stihl saws professionally for years and after tons of problems with them he switched. If you use equipment all day every day you will have issues no matter the brand or kind of tool.
If the JB weld truly is stronger than the aluminium an alternative would be to oil the thread of the screw. Screw the screw into the remaining thread and then bog up the gap to create a fresh thread. You could even dome the JB Weld up slightly and then wallow out the plastic in the cover to suit it. Probably worth checking with an alternate screw to see if the concept works and whether oiling the thread allows the JB Weld to be released.
I don't think he or I would ever buy a knock off, I personally do not want to not because they do not work but because it is a copy that was basically stole from the original design, r&d, research,marketing from the real company, I do not think it is the right thing to do myself. But I am weird.
@@InTheWoodyard, i do believe they are cloned because the patents expired. I'll keep mine until they blow up. Then buy the real thing. Only got my clones because couldn't afford w name brand big saw.
Not my kind of fix but if it works for you than who am I to tell you that it's wrong.. Good tip. On my Mazda's I take a few extra parts with me (when I drive long distance) so when something goes wrong I can fix it on the road..
I'm currently refurbing my 359 (favorite brush saw) what drives me crazy is the mix of bolts used, why cant a manufacturer just pick one style and stick with it lol.
I wonder if any one ever puts Lube on the Roller at the front of the Chain Saw Bar? Seems like it would not be a bad idea. Maybe it gets oil from the chain as it comes around.
Chris that is the major difference between Husqvarna and still chainsaws everyone that I talk to that has run both in their lives says there's no comparison still all the way it's not because of the power because for the most part huskies are a little faster it's because the way they're put together the German engineering they don't break as much they start when you want them to
Ken did run Stihls professionally for years and switched because of constant break downs with his 6-8 saws and now he is happy with the Huskies. All saws are great and all saws break eventually.
@@InTheWoodyard no not professionally I've had mine for over 20 years I've never had screws loosen up but anytime I run into tree service professionals I ask them what they prefer and all of them tell me hands down steel and it's because of the German engineering is incredible... The swedish might make more power but they don't come close in the engineering just look at a Mercedes or BMW or an Audi or Volkswagen
Ken ran lots of Stihl saws professionally for years and switched because of constant break downs on the job. The fact is everything breaks eventually with constant work, even people.
@@InTheWoodyard I don't see how that can be I can honestly say in 30 years I never had stihl let me down as professional logger. I have never had a Husqvarna that could keep up with me. I know many loggers that run them and most of the time after talking about saws for a while they always mention well there $100 less then a stlhi so I think it's the price not the proformance why they dont own Stihl. But Husqvarna does get the job done

I could listen to your brother all day long, he’s funny!
Yes, he is a "dandy"!
Just a guy
Awesome repair I lucked out at a Auction I got 6 boxes full of husqvarna parts for 40$ I couldn't believe it its kept my 372XPs top shape
Parts are very valuable!
Thanks for the video. Just checked out the screws on my 395XP and found one very lose and coming out in a different spot.

Right on, I agree!
"It's like a chainsaw in your hands." LOL... You guys are awesome! Keep up the great videos Chris!!
Yes that was a good one!
Great educational video, Chris! Kudos to you and your brother, Ken👍
Thank you kindly!

That's what i thought of when he mentioned the hole problem lol. Nice to see it worked somewhere!
Yup, sometimes you just got try stuff till you figure it out.

Thanks Stanley, he would too!
If there was a male version of "The View" You guys would nail it. Entertaining
Ha! Thanks for watching!
Teamwork and a beer drinking supervisor! America at its best!🤣🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Ha! You got that right!
I'm curious to get an update on this some time in the future on how the JB weld holds up! :D
That was 2 weeks ago now and he has run it a few times and it is just fine so far!
Good morning Chris, good reminder to check your nuts, Kenny pulled a McGyver repair job . Looks like he took your idea of the easy to locate pink tape. Leroy, “man behind the scenes “ have a good day
Thanks Mike, ya, Leroy is a good supervisor! He is quiet and just drinks his beer.
Good morning Chris!!😀😀

Take care my friend!!😀😀
Logger Al
Or a little copper safety wire stuffed inside.
But he said the threads were ALL gone on the one side, so fix it so that both holes take the same tool to undo. May as well.
Yes, that probably would work but I think Ken was after a more solid fix. Thanks Al!
That might have worked too.

Thanks David, glad you liked it!
Next time I want to see Kenny mix that JB on your forehead! Lol! That was funny stuff. And quick too!😂
He probably would too!
Wow, you need a small trailer to haul spare parts for those huskies. Well, at least they cut straight.
Why don't the stihls chainsaw cut straight? Is it something with the sharpening or all of them are like that? I have a stihl ms 291 and I'm about to upgrade, would you go with a husky? Thanks!
The Stihl is great, I own 6 of them. That is in reference to a comment that Chris said to Tony on a video.
@@TheDriftlessHomestead cool, I'll be getting a 661, which ones do you have?
My production saws are: ms500i, ms362 and an 034. The others are smaller homeowners saws for doing release cuts.
HA! Everything will wear out and break eventually if you use it everyday all day regardless of brand.
Enjoy the bantering between the brothers. Chris says”do the instructions say mix the JB on cardboard?” Ken replies “I will mix it on your forehead.” That was a good one.
Yes, it is constant!
A fine example of backyard engineering. I assume that the repair worked well?
Thanks, yes it is all better now! Thanks!
You and your brother are hilarious, his line about going to Tony's house to have your nuts checked had me busting up. This channel deserves way more subscribers, keep up the great work Chris.
Glad you enjoyed!
Got to remember to check the screws when start running saws again. Had muffler bolts come out before.
Yes, all bigger saws regardless of brand vibrate a lot and need to be checked.
Good morning from Grand Forks
Good morning!
Interesting saw repair. Kenny could’ve used the excess JB weld to repair his defective fingernail 🤔
That is what I thought!
Yup
@@kennethcarlson8713 I got to get me a repair kit for my saws like yours and a friend like Leroy to assist in the work.
Heli coil .. lock tight. Jb weld works good .but every time u take them off u have to jb weld them agin and wait a day to use the saw
No he won't, it is to hold the bolt in place so that the cover and nut can be held down. And it did work out fine.
Interesting saw repair. Patience and fine fingers…Kenny could’ve used the excess JB Weld to repair his defective fingernail🤔
Yup!
Can you do a whole video on a tear down for the 395xp
Probably not, it is not mine and it would only get torn down by my brother if it needs it so it might be a while.
I wouldn’t have gone to all that bother with the JB Weld, I would have just got a couple of Phillips panhead self tapping screws which would thread into aluminium like a knife into butter 😜
That is a good idea, but his fix did work well.
So far so good
Husky's have a reputation of rattling apart.
Ken used Stihl saws professionally for years and after tons of problems with them he switched. If you use equipment all day every day you will have issues no matter the brand or kind of tool.
If the JB weld truly is stronger than the aluminium an alternative would be to oil the thread of the screw. Screw the screw into the remaining thread and then bog up the gap to create a fresh thread.

Thanks Alan!
I've always been of a mind that if the repair is successful, then it was done right.
Yes, and it did work!
Still holding together
Farmertec is supposed to be coming out with a clone of the 395 later this year. Be interesting how it would hold up to Kenny.
I don't think he or I would ever buy a knock off, I personally do not want to not because they do not work but because it is a copy that was basically stole from the original design, r&d, research,marketing from the real company, I do not think it is the right thing to do myself.

JB weld will have a disclaimer...⚠️⚠️⚠️ DO NOT MIX on little brother's forehead ⚠️⚠️⚠️
But I am the older one! HA!
Excellent!! Does everyone in the US solely use Husqvarna, rather than Stihl?
The Husqvarna and Stihl user rivalry is like a football fan rivalry at times. Both are equally good saws.
No, there are just as many Stihls if not more, both are great saws.
Yup!
G’morning Chris. Awesome explanation between yous Goons. Check your equipment. GoodNightIrene
Thanks Corey!
If that doesn't hold , heli coil kit . Right drill bit , tap and installation tool . You guys have a great day !
Yes that would work too, the JB did work well.
I have an index finger on my left hand just like his. Hit it on the blade of my splitter in the quick and it came off from the top as it grew out.
That must mean that you are a working man too!
It's like a Men's Health video...check yer Nutz!!!
Ya, you could say that!
Huh, never had that problem with my Stihls…. Just kidding, they do get loose. And have more bar nuts too
Yes, all bigger saws vibrate a lot and nuts need tightening!
Not my kind of fix but if it works for you than who am I to tell you that it's wrong..
Good tip.
On my Mazda's I take a few extra parts with me (when I drive long distance) so when something goes wrong I can fix it on the road..
Wow, you are a better man than me. I don't have the patients for breakdowns, I just sell and move on!
I'm currently refurbing my 359 (favorite brush saw) what drives me crazy is the mix of bolts used, why cant a manufacturer just pick one style and stick with it lol.
I think that is true of a lot of the saws!
Damn it Chris, I thought that torx bit he was using was yours it being PINK and all. lol
Ya, that is a great color!
JB weld the holes and re-tap
The JB did the trick and it is all better now! Thanks Roger.
It might be interesting if your hands are numb and you check your nuts. It’s like getting some strange.
Ha!
Key-sert is the best way to repair those.
Thanks Steve, I will let Ken know!
Ok, off to check me nuts. It's a private affair so no video.
LOL!!😀😀
Yes, please no camera!
Good PSA!
Thanks Jeff!
Thanks for the info. I gotta go check my nuts now! 🤣 👍🏻👍🏻 GNI
Good to know 👍👍
Thanks for liking Jeremiah!
I wonder if any one ever puts Lube on the Roller at the front of the Chain Saw Bar? Seems like it would not be a bad idea. Maybe it gets oil from the chain as it comes around.
Yes, I do, there is a grease hole on one side, I put a shot in every 2-3 chain sharpenings.
Hello from Piqua Ohio.
Good morning to ya Stanley!
or you replace the screws every other year as stated in the user manual ;o))
Manual?
Yup I checked my nuts and bolts 😆
Self tapping screws mate
That was going to be the next fix attempt, but the JB worked.
a allen head bolt might work
Yup, just a slightly bigger one might have worked, but the JB did work well.
👍👍
Thanks Tom!
Just watched this, small engines and repairs not my gig
Not mine either. I like new stuff and someone else to fix stuff!

It’s bad when you have problems with your nuts
Yes all kinds.
I WOOD OF JD IT THEN DRILLIT AND TAP IT
Yup, that would work!
Rivet Nut, or rivnut
Thanks Kay!
Sounds like somebody needs a new 592xp Chris.
I doubt that he would get one until the 395 is dead.
Buy a Stihl wont have that trouble
Ken ran lots of Stihl saws professionally for years and switched because of constant break downs on the job. The fact is everything breaks eventually with constant work, even people.
@@InTheWoodyard I don't see how that can be I can honestly say in 30 years I never had stihl let me down as professional logger. I have never had a Husqvarna that could keep up with me.
