I remember having a mini bike with a band brake on the clutch. I was coming down a super steep hill and the chain came off eliminating my brakes. I hit a wooden fence doing at least 50. Good times...
Hello from Norway. Great content!!. Looks to be same deal with Mccolloch 410 elite(husky 440 e i believe). Bought the saw for 50 D because the fist owner killed the band after two small trees down. easy fix Love to see more 435-440 stuff
Scott I’ve got a husky T540 xp that just started revving out of control. Rpm’s just up up up until I give it throttle. Then it will die. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I found a crack in that rubber intake piece. It looks like it’s about $50 on line. I plugged one end and blew through the other and there’s definitely air leaking through that crack. I the rubber piece I’m talking of is the one attached( formed) to the metal plate bracket That attaches to the motor. 🤞🏼
Oh, man, you are so funny! 😂 Twice you mentioned the lack of music and twice that only reinforced how distracting music is! I’m not only totally focused on what you’re doing, I’m also mentally noting those details that are new to me - things I want to remember in the future or things we do the same,’which indicates I’m probably at a good level of competence. Then you went and stuck 10+ seconds of music at the end! LOLOLOL! Of course I stopped watching! 😉 So, what did I learn? Insert a tool into the spring to push on the inside part (knee joint? Have to look that one up!) to get the assembly into position. That’s been my toughest step so far when doing this on any saw. I already modified a socket to have three legs for some clutch removals so I’ll have to check the next time to see if it will work for brake band setting as well. I’ve been using an adjustable angle grinder too with two pegs but it’s not the best. One question that’s been bugging me since I found your channel, Scott - who cleans up your shop floor and what method do they use? I’m careful to try not to let saw debris onto my floor because I don’t want to track that into the rest of the house. I work on a rubber mat with holes so debris falls through and my shop vac takes care of that, but when I have serious debris I hold the workpiece over a small trash can nearby. Thanks for reading my loooong comment! 😉👍🔧
I have an air nozzle right outside the door. All the nasty cleaning gets done out there. It does get slippery out there at times and then we will pressure wash the area. I mean we need to test pressure washer repairs anyway. The guy that used to sweep the floor quit so I clean up my area when its bad enough that something the size of a carb needle isn't easily spotted. As for tracking...they mop the showroom/counter area a couple times a day.

@@williambray4134 I get it. When I sell a saw I ask what their experience level is. At a minumum I discuss the kickback zone and you'd be surprised how many people were just planning to go cut down a tree without basic knowledge about saw safety.
I enjoy the mechanics of making the videos...that is the editing. I enjoy helping people with videos. I like music but I dislike certain kinds of music. I'd hate for someone not to get the help they're looking for because they don't like the music or it distracts them. I did have a few complaints from older people with hearing problems and I can relate. I usually have three audio tracks when editing. The sounds from the bench, my voicover and music. I don't think I had the levels balanced correctly for quite a few earlier videos. Having said all that, there will probably always be some music at least at the end but its still a work in progress. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful, and thoughtfully recorded. Enabled me to replace a broken brake band. Thanks very much.
Glad to have helped.

Greetings from France
Thanks for watching!
Well done Scott
Thanks Henry
Great video ! You should keep the music while you'r working !
Thats the first time anybody said to keep the music.
I'm jumping on the keep the music bandwagon. As long as it's not louder than your voice.
Ya I think I had my audio levels jacked up for a while. I'll find something that works.
Hello from the Uk 🇬🇧 I’ve got a husqvarna 435 the break is snapping on, but it is not locking the chain. What could the possible fault be ?
Usually that means the band is broke but the mechanism is ok.

Fuel restriction or air leak. Running lean.
I would pressure test it first if nothing obvious stood out.

@@monsterdino22 That would explain the revving.
What about wear on the brake drum?
I don't think I've ever had to replace a drum because of band wear. The bands must wear through first.
Oh, man, you are so funny! 😂

Chain brakes are a Catch 22.
Whats the down side? Maintenance?

thanks for no music..oh video was a gooder
Thanks for watching!
debris? that looks like schmutz to me
This video is a year old. Was schmutz a thing back then?
@TheGreasyShopRag lol I don't think so, just wanted to razz you
@@mendonesiac Well, it was definately a thing, just not on this channel yert.
Do YOU want music? Isn't this your channel? Who cares what we want? We suck.

I would rather hear you narrate than music. I get a lot more out of your knowledge.
Thanks. Many others have said they don't care for the music so I've pretty much dropped it.
