I have a Rancher 450 giving me issues.. from your videos I started the teardown inspection and lo and behold, a scored cylinder.. loaned it to a neighbor.. you know how that goes. Bought a replacement and will be giving the saw the rebuild today... mostly thanks to your videos, I know what to look for and have the confidence to make the repairs. Thanks Scott!
I would have guessed the clutch side would get hotter and fail first. Do you see a trend with these plastic cage bearings failing more on the flywheel vs clutch side? Nice work!
Great video Scott. Always learning from your videos and you definitely do a great job. Seen Chris from In The Woodyard stoped by, which in his last video that he was in the store, he mentioned your channel. Been subscribed and watched nearly every video you have made since then. Keep the great videos coming. 👍🏻👍🏻
What happens in a situation like this? Take pictures and document then send to Husqvarna for a warranty claim? Wait weeks to hear back then get parts and rebuild? Husqvarna approves new parts over the phone and sends them?Husqvarna approves a replacement saw? I just tinker with saws and so I am just curious.
I usually call Husqvarna tech and discuss the problem. They will request specific info or pics which I send. They will then decide if its a valid claim and if we will fix or they will replace. I supply the parts if we fix. They usually supply whole units if they replace. Their process is a good one when I compare to some other manufacturers and usually doesn't drag on.
Yep I knew instantly when you said screen had a substance in it. Plastic! Don't know if it makes a difference but I run my newer Huskies at 40:1. The cage deal makes me nervous for sure. Last I checked my 550mk2 it had 70hrs in it so my guess is at least 100 now with no issues. 562 still has 2 years warranty left so good there! Good stuff see ya next time!
That looked like a pretty low hour unit. I don't remember having issues with the sealed bearing on the 390xp? I have heard that there was a bad batch of bearings from SKF, but that was a while ago.
Will or did the post repair computer scan reveal the saw had been running way lean? I guess the bearing cage could have been defective, but if it failed due to heat, then at least replace both bearings and seals since both were exposed to the heat. When you pulled it over at the beginning I almost got it right, I thought the screen was carbon clogged. Like others, I lament the plastic bearing cages, but I think that is the common thing theses days.

When a plastic cage in the crank bearing lets go. You replace the bearings. When a metal cage in a crank bearing goes. You buy new bearings, piston and cylinder. How often do plastic cages fail compared to metal cages?

Hey, Scott! I would think that bearing failed due to an overheat condition. Did you find any evidence to support this theory? Otherwise I would imagine it’s just the idiocy of using plastic instead of metal for a bearing cage, right?
Husqvarnas Achilles heel, their junk plastic caged bearings. That's practically a new saw it's utterly ridiculous. People would have to be mad to buy a 5 series saw. 👍

Good luck with the repair!
My new favorite mechanic on saws. Hellyeah. Good narrating going on and play by play troubleshooting.
Thanks for tuning in!
Spot on diagnosis Scott! I love that your vids are so concise. You do really good work brother!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
@@TheGreasyShopRag man I always look forward to the greasy shop rag!!
I'm jealous of how tidy your workbench is when you work. I can't for the life of me keep my work area neat without tools everywhere in my way.
I've got a big box next to that bench and just keep common stuff on the bench.
I would have guessed the clutch side would get hotter and fail first.
Do you see a trend with these plastic cage bearings failing more on the flywheel vs clutch side?
Nice work!
I never gave it much thought but lately i'd say the flywheel side is the biggest offender.
Another awesome video man. One can never have too much knowledge. Got your stickers, posted them on my toolbox and pickup.
Thanks for supporting the channel!
Top notch diagnostics! Keep up the excellent work
Thanks for watching!

It's a great thing that husqvarna makes short blocks for the 5 series xp saws

It is low hours but I dont remember the age. I'll look at that and compare the new and old bearings in that video.
Nice diagnosis. What would cause that? Just dirt getting in there, like you said?
Dirt, heat, chain too tight or maybe they just have a problem with a batch of bearings. Not sure.

No error codes or anything unusual. One day it ran, the next day it wouldn't.
@@TheGreasyShopRag I have days like that. lol
Will the bearing be replaced with the same “plastic cage type” bearing?
Plastic, yes. The same? Don't know yet.

Something to stay away from not new

@@jackylsmith8138 I don't know the comparison rate but husky has been having some issues lately.

May I ask how often do you see these issues on a 572?
Not very often or you'd see more videos on it.
@ thank you!
Scott, do you think he tightened the crap out of the chain, cocking the crankshaft, wearing out the flywheel side bearing?
I guess its possible but if one bearing moved, the other should have moved also.
Love your vids bro!
Thanks for watching!
Hey, Scott! I would think that bearing failed due to an overheat condition. Did you find any evidence to support this theory? Otherwise I would imagine it’s just the idiocy of using plastic instead of metal for a bearing cage, right?
I'm guessing its one of those two things but not sure which one.
Do you find there is one prominent side to the bearings going bad?
Usually the clutch side but lately it doesn't seem to matter.
Well then...I wonder if this ended up being a warranty claim or not.
Yes it is.
Thanks for sharing Scott, disappointed by the 572xp. I bought one last month. Is there an aftermarket replacement bearing that isn't plastic?
As a dealer mechanic doing warranty work I've never explored that option.
just measure the o.d. the i.d. and the width in mm. and punch it into google
So what other damage did it do to the saw. After eating all that ?
I didn't split it yet but usually there isn't any damage if the plastic stayed out of the rings.
👍🏻
i wish i didnt see this, i'm worried now lol...thumbs up !!
Its unfortunate people have to be concerned about problems with these saws.
My advice is 40:1 mix ratio with good oil. I use Belray H1r as the motorcycle oil coats the bearings the best I've ever seen!
@@tedneitzel Thats good advice.
Those 572xp 550xp 562xp has a lot of issues with bottom end like that!!!
Ya lets hope they get this worked out.

The good news is that I haven't heard of any 562 mark II bearing problems.
And one more comment for the algorithm 😉🙃

Scott will tell you about his. I found mine at local auto store used for filling radiators.
Google, no spill radiator funnel.
