Good job, you got it installed, that's all that matters! Looking at the top two bolts, perhaps ( 2 ) of the long Allen's would have made it a little easier for maintaining the alignment into the female threads, but you got it on, that's what matters here... I've been using a 55 Rancher ( tinker toy ) for close to ( 20) years now as I had a 2nd hand ( used ) lower end installed about ( 8 ) years ago now... I am in the market for new saw & will be purchasing the 372 Husky. I had the opportunity about two years ago to buy the last of the non- computer version, I hesitated & the dealer sold them out quickly... To makes matters worse, he took a 100 bucks off those saws too boot, snooze , you lose as the old saying goes... Excellent presentation, Thanks, Bill... :~)
First rule; never tighten all bolts until you have them all started, that way you can move the application to line up all bolts and holes then proceed to tighten !! Secondly where bolts or nuts are subject to vibration a small drop of semi-permanent thread lock cures this problem. 🤔😜
I used to have 10 saws various models and some I would never use, sold some and bought a couple brand new ones. One thing I always do is buy spare maintenance and wear parts. Husqvarna is great about having a lot of aftermarket support parts availability. Best thing to use to clean the saw is compressed air, and would buy a nice T-handle for working on the saws.
Jist did that on my stihl 361, new oem mufflers are obselete. Wire welded the broken bracket and put it back together. Had a broken muffler bolt, that had to be extracted. Pull the screen so it breathes better.
Hey Chris...put a rubber band around the screws after you have the heat guard in place. Start your bolts in the block and then just break the rubber band.
I'm way behind on watching your great videos,I was watching your video on firewood pricing and noticed you left out a big cost. Granted it's not firewood cost specific but how about cameras,microphones and your time filming and editing? Plus needing computer and monthly phone bill. Just things that up your cost and lower the already thin profit.
That has nothing to do with the firewood business, this is a different business, with its own income and is separate. I know it sounds strange but the youtube is not part of the firewood business but the firewood is the show for the channel.
I can’t believe that broken muffler didn’t cause some type of lean condition on the saw. Guess the 576XP auto tune helped maybe. Possibly a good argument for larger dawgs on your saw so you are not prying on the muffler so much. Congratulations on the subscriber gains as well👍
@@InTheWoodyard Chris I’ll send you money for shipping if your ever want to get rid of some saws, but you have to sign it because that would add 10 horsepower
for the gaskit part one side put on Permatex® High Tack® Gasket Sealant, 4 OZ and to help get te plate on use some sting or better fish line to tie it on and bolt in the othere and press in on the borlt with the alen wrench make your life easyer
I saw a squirrel the other day he had his hands up in the air standing on a 30-in round saying thank you Lord. As the world gets crazier the nuts are easier to find.
Husky should have used a double ended bolt/stud with a threaded end on the outside to take a pair of nuts. They saved 50 cents and cost every owner a hassle. Bob in Nevada
I am an owner of a holtzfarma 372 XP. It is not quit the quality of your saws but the quality of many of the repair parts are close and about 1/4 the price. Your saw that lost compression is most likely the cylinder or piston and is available for less tan $20. Good luck. I am building a spliter and bundler .
Hey Chris...very surprised that you didn't the time to vacuum or blow out all that saw dust while you had the muffler out!! A clean saw is a happy saw.
New bolts and red locktite. Have to use locktite at least or it will be loose after 10 tanks of fuel. The bolts cost about 25-35 cents each from a good hardware or autoparts store. M5x7 M5x10 and M6x15 IIRC
hi up there maybe the bigger problem is the color of your saw just saying , lol . i do believe you use your saws more in a year then most do in a life time .so really you got a life time of use from it . would you slow down a bit . take care john
I have at least 1 parts saw for every size saw I carry! Them 372's were the saw too have! I just did a bunch of maintenance on my saws today!! Your a saw repair pro now lol!! Stay safe my friend
Good morning Chris!!😀😀 I definitely keep all of my old worn out saws for spare parts too. You never know when you can need something from one of the junkers. Take care buddy!!😀😀 Logger Al
just think of the money you saved doing it yourself!! i do all my own stuff! never brought a saw into a dealer! actually the 572xp is the first brand new saw i've ever owned! and i'm liking it!
Don't cut yourself short you're a good mechanic! If you have any questions ask your brother Kenny. Where is Tony? Where is that 592 Husqvarna? Oh my goodness the anticipation is killing me!
perhaps a drop or 1/2 a drop of loc tight on those muffler bolts ? Maybe a can of brake cleaner before the next R&R , just to keep things clean and happy ? J B weld will fix that crack , easy as pie. 24 hour dry time .
Hey, if any of your are going to buy our host a birthday or Christmas gift, a set of T-Handle wrenches in both US and Metric sizes as well as Tork ends plus a variety of strait ends and philips would be nice along with the wall rack to keep them from getting lost on the bench. Ball end is nicer and why not get them from Germany? Bob in Nevada
You can fix the old cracked cover with heavy metal screen and heavy duty soldering iron. Melt the screen into the underside of the plastic, then give a good coat of epoxy. It'll be stronger than the original.
Smart move buying the same model saws Chris, having a boneyard you can raid for parts is great. Don’t sell yourself short, one man without a processor, you do Huge production, I’d say your in the top 1/10 of one percent! Hey that makes you one of those “Elites,” but in a good way. Take care
Just an FYI: Put the circular end of a box wrench on the short end of the hex wrench for leverage when tightening the bolts with the long end of the hex wrench.
Hey Chris I have interest in starting a TH-cam channel I work with asphalt in the summertime so I have a seasonal job laid off in the winter from up in Merrill wi wondering if you would be interested in making a video or two On the 22-28 with a 16 foot folding conveyor sometime in September or November if you have an email or something that would be easier to contact you from please let me know you showed quite a while back a fab tech processor my grandpa has the same one and we have two forwarders wondering if you’d be interested And making a video about the new wood splitter and all his woods equipment lmk if you have any interest thanks …Ben
Just cross thread the bolts in and they will never come back out again! I use the blue thread lock tite on any that want vibrate loose alot! Your junker was well worth dropping a new top end in, well before taking all the parts from it. IMO
When the round tube (guide) breaks again get a new muffler. Don't wait for it to break apart again. Exhaust leaks change the fuel ratio and you can burn a piston up. Than you'll have two parts saws. You can find them used on ebay or aftermarket and not pay as much.

I feel very sure that the hardest part of putting the muffler on was taking us along for the ride. Thanks.
Yes it was!
My OCD went into overdrive watching that! I can’t believe you didn’t take the chance to clean out all the sawdust when you took the muffler out 😱
I am going to redo the repair and put on some lock tight, then I will clean it out !
Hey Chris if you heard from outdoors with Andy? I know he's a truck driver! Maybe everyone should say a prayer for him! This world is going crazy.
Not lately, I do watch his videos once in a while!
All went perfect..not even a single Benjamin went out in the cold...now that's a fair deal ..

On repair subject !! Woodie and Cookie ready for 2-2-22 see if they have a shadow ?
No, not yet, but their surgery is scheduled soon!
572xp should have heavier top 2 bolts.
The fine thread allows them to drift out.
I bought new gasket and heat plate the old plate deteriorated .
That was a 576 I have never had any problems with my 3 572 husqvarnas
Jist did that on my stihl 361, new oem mufflers are obselete. Wire welded the broken bracket and put it back together.
Had a broken muffler bolt, that had to be extracted.
Pull the screen so it breathes better.
All parts are hard to get now!
Comment 199... 9 months later. How did I miss this video 9 months ago?
You need to start from the beginning and make sure you get them all watched!!
Ya know...just talk about the muffler ..we don't really care about what you have...you're just rambling...
Sorry, I am just learning this youtube thing, I only have been at this for 4 years and have about 1600 videos now with 60,000 subscribers.
Hey Chris...put a rubber band around the screws after you have the heat guard in place. Start your bolts in the block and then just break the rubber band.
That is a good idea! Thanks!
Nothing screams like a Husky! When I was a kid back in the 80’s in New Brunswick, the guys cutting pulpwood were using 254’s and 266’s.
They do like to scream!
@@InTheWoodyard Prob hadn't checked their nuts. Maybe leaned them out for high RPM's! Either would make them scream!
Locktite
YES!I am going to redo it!
Nice mechanicIng 🔧🔧🔧
Thanks for watching!
Newbie with chainsaw…. My muffler fell off. How do you know the size of bolts to use?
Take it to a pro shop...they will have what you need.
I was told if you run the chain saw with out the muffler you get more power and a lot louder
Yup!
Nice job Chris Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Frank!

As soon as it loosened up I quit cutting with it, it got real loud fast! HA! Thanks for watching! I have a new video out every morning, just for you!
@@InTheWoodyard Just for me. I feel so special. lol.
What’s wrong with your other saw, why do you get a replacement aftermarket cylinder kit?
The old saw is toast and I am getting another new one soon.
@@InTheWoodyard Chris I’ll send you money for shipping if your ever want to get rid of some saws, but you have to sign it because that would add 10 horsepower
I got a 572xp having a problem with the muffler now the screws fall out of it. Lock tight might fix it.
I have never had any problems with any of my 572 chainsaws but lots with the 576 saws.
for the gaskit part one side put on Permatex® High Tack® Gasket Sealant, 4 OZ and to help get te plate on use some sting or better fish line to tie it on and bolt in the othere and press in on the borlt with the alen wrench make your life easyer

Ain't nothing that a little bubblegum can't fix. Wife chimes in, "You better check your nuts.." 😳 🙂
Yup, or she could for you, just ask her!
Right on good to have parts much cheaper 👍 I have a 372 and I had another one and I sold it to a body but now I wish I had kept it 🤪
Sorry to hear that!
I saw a squirrel the other day he had his hands up in the air standing on a 30-in round saying thank you Lord. As the world gets crazier the nuts are easier to find.
You got that right!
Well you know there are a bunch of Saw guys out there. That would take your old burn-saw make it run perfect again
Probably but I need the parts!
got the splitter going and cut another load of ash when I was done with the trap line. GNI
Then you better get splittin'!!

Don’t tighten your bolts until you have them all in.

I just watched you hillside run away logging, good job!!!
@@InTheWoodyard Well thank you! You gotta use the hill to your advantage🤣
sthil saw im thinking of buying 880 122 cc chain saw
\
That is a big one! I have a video with one coming up soon!
You can use spring lock washer Grower, DIN 7981.
Thanks for the tip!
should buy 660 mag or 880 sthil mag saws
Not for me, to big to hang on to all day!
Use a little liquid steel it want take long for it to dry and will be like new
Okay!
Chris any word on when you’re getting a 592xp?
The latest I heard was March/April.
It almost a must if your in the woods cutting to have. 2 saws and a parts saw. I might buy me another 372 come summer.
Yup! The 372 is a real work horse of a saw!
@@InTheWoodyard it has for the most part replaced my 395 witch used to be my main saw.
hi up there maybe the bigger problem is the color of your saw just saying , lol . i do believe you use your saws more in a year then most do in a life time .so really you got a life time of use from it . would you slow down a bit . take care john
Thank John! I can't slow down, the grim reaper is hot on my tail!!
@@InTheWoodyard well i sure hope not but if you do run in to him you will problem cut and split him and never look back john
Chris I have change a muffler on a husqvarna saw before and it is tough if not careful. Great video. Have a great day be safe.
Thanks, you too!
Blue Loctite is your friend. Do not use red or green.
Interesting, a lot of people suggested red??
I have at least 1 parts saw for every size saw I carry! Them 372's were the saw too have! I just did a bunch of maintenance on my saws today!! Your a saw repair pro now lol!! Stay safe my friend
I am far from a pro! HA! I know my limitations!
Good morning Chris!!😀😀
I definitely keep all of my old worn out saws for spare parts too. You never know when you can need something from one of the junkers.
Take care buddy!!😀😀
Logger Al
Morning! Yup, if you use them alot stuff will break and repair parts are pricey.
Use a little liquid steel to fix that crack with
Okay!
You lost all credibility when you called bolts nuts.
First mistake I ever made! HA!
Glad you have a sense of humor and are thick skinned.
Same reason automotive guys (like me) that run a brand for life. And when guys like you Chris call or email me i am happy to give out tech help..
Yup, parts are good to have!
Blue and red loctite has its purpose
Yup! I am going to put some on that saw!
Great job on the fix! I only had my stihl saws do that Never my Husky's, but you only cut 185 cord more then me a year or more
nice video.
Thanks for watching Dan!
Now you should start a handyman business.
No thanks!
Need to put hair around it
ok!
Chris why don’t you get both bolts started and then tighten them up
Yes, I will do that next time, thanks Gragg!
just think of the money you saved doing it yourself!! i do all my own stuff! never brought a saw into a dealer! actually the 572xp is the first brand new saw i've ever owned! and i'm liking it!
Yup, I try to fix some stuff, the problem now is getting parts!
Get yourself a set of t-handle allen wrenches and add a dab of high-temp thread locker.
Good idea!
Don't cut yourself short you're a good mechanic! If you have any questions ask your brother Kenny. Where is Tony? Where is that 592 Husqvarna? Oh my goodness the anticipation is killing me!

G’morning Chris. Sweet muffler mod. Always nice to have a quick fix ! Thanks for the learnin. Congrats on the 15k ! GoodNightIrene
Thanks for watching as always Sir Corey!
Looked out of curiosity on ebay and a used muffler was $44.70 and new one runs $71.90. So you were about right with your guesstimate.
Thanks for the info Chad!
Nice DIY saw parts swap repair. Saving the Benjamins and keeping your Husky in good repair so you can keep cutting 🪵
That's the plan!
How about electric.. 🔋⚡💪
Not for the volume I do. I would need a bigger more powerful saw than is available now and a truck load of batteries!
and we have the same vise lol
Cool!
1). muffler
2).gasket
3).Heat Shield
you thanks me later.
I will thank you now!!!
GOOD JOB BUDDY I JUST GOT MY 372 BACK NEW BEARING AND SEALS I PUT NEW RINGS IN IT TO RUNS LIKE A CHAMP .
Awesome! Thanks!
Well you proved it you're a neanderthal chainsaw repairman! I love it
HA! That is about it!
Just slap some duck 🦆tape on the muffler. Problem solved!
