Thanks for the heads up, got a new 550mkll a couple months ago awesome little saw, have the extended warranty so probably will leave it stock for now. That 550 there is definitely a cut above mine.
I like how your handles turned out. I wish Husky would offer full wrap handles like on the 272, 372, 394/395 on all the 5 series pro saws. And Stihl as well, I always liked the OEM full wrap on the 064/066 (super hard to find), they help make the saw balance perfectly no matter how you hold the handle on those saws. A MS261 with that style of handle would be real nice.
Sir, my h 550 mk2 got failed bearings within a month after purchase. Warranty of course covered the change of bearings, seals, no extra charge. In the shop they told me they also had to clean the spark arrestor mesh. After less then 10 liters of fuel ran through it, 48/1 mix. They never heard of it, that it can plug up in a MONTH.
I heard rumors of seal leaks on the 592’s as well. Mine will idle strange sometimes but on the other hand my 550xp MKII has been fantastic and it’s 4 years old. Heavy commercial use and never a problem
Really cool saws. What is the part number for the bar being used here ? I can find a 24" small mount regular 3/8 but not 3/8 low profile. Maybe I'm missing something.
Hey Donny, good to hear Husky is going to look into it. For the 562, They just told me that 87 days run time is too far past warranty to cover, 30 days. There is an update for the flywheel side, bit nothing for thr PTO/ Clutch side yet. I think I posted the link for the Service Bulletin as well as part numbers I posted 3 vids of my most recent experience with their crank seals and bearings. Enjoy your weekend😎👍
I have a 550xp mark ll. Just lost the crank bearing on mine with only 40-50 hours on it. Warranty is covering it thankfully. Are you able to explain what you did with the muffler mod? Thanks
Do you mean my tattoos one is my race kart number 10 for 45 years of racing one soccer ball for my daughter she was awesome and the other walkers name mean saw with flames need to get my buddy Dan richly The best saw carver in Canada to re do it with new color
Wonder if it’s a lubrication issue or a flaw in the bearing causing the failures? I just picked up a new 545XP never seen a drop of fuel. I’m hoping I don’t have issues with it since mechanically it’s the same saw as a 550.
Do the 550 have the same bearing as 500 I. If so maybe it a case alignment issue on the inside. Or is there other models using the same bearing. Or did they get a bad batch of bearing from there supplier.
I‘m using this PS3 Chain on my 545 Mark 1 for about 4 years with a different Bar. That was before Husky came out with x cut which is no chisel chain . So i stay at 3/8 hobby Chisel from Stihl. It Cuts nice!
Nice work Donny. Question, what are simplest things I can do to the most out of my MS362?? (no computer ). I Just got a Bark Box that I need to install. Anything else you could recommend? Thank you
Don’t get wrong though I love 550 saws to but 346 my great friend grow Sweden help design it there special to me my dad used to run a 28 inch bar on his cut incredibly nice
Donny I Need me one of those full wrap handles bud lmk when you start selling em plz ! Just modded my 550xp mk2 with custom 562xp dogs and ceramic coated the clutch cover and handle . check out my chainsaw channel!
@@donnywalker4691 I know Donny. You are a fantastic fella. And your birthday is the same as mine. 💪🏻❤️🔥 I don’t usually remember birthdays. I’ve only know two humans with a birthday on the 26th. I’m also not that popular hehe. Have a great Friday friend. !!!
I think husky should go back to a medal cage bearing for the 5 series saws

Got me worried now! First 5 series husqvarna I'm wait for is a 550 mark2. Hope I don't get to much trouble 🙈
How old are the bearings that are bad? Just picked up a new 2021

Way to lean on the up cut Donny.. Another strong build for a lucky fellow.. Head up and rubber down brother ✌️
Yeah use plastic cages to hold the bearings real SMART Husqvarna!

Do you sell the bigger dogs for the 550?
No I made those I welded a different one to inner one and modded one for outer one
Thank you Donny!!

Good work as always sir
I mean, I guess, they run okay???
What’s your thoughts on 346xp ne vs 550xp mk2
550 new generation of 346 I love 346 I’m building one for my daughter it rips ive built lots of them my favourite 50 cc hands down
Don’t get wrong though I love 550 saws to but 346 my great friend grow Sweden help design it there special to me my dad used to run a 28 inch bar on his cut incredibly nice
How much would one of those custom saws run someone?
Full wrap, porting and all
That's.....what I call a siren sound to temp any man. I would do anything you tell me to if you gave me that saw. Anything.
Super
