does your chainsaw keep throwing the chain off do you have a hard time turning the chain over
on the bar well you can have a bad drive sprocket what's going on YouTube Kevin Reese here back with
another video today we're out here again with the old husky 359 that's right the old husky 359 that
you have seen in another one of my videos where I replaced the carburetor on it so today we're
out here with it let me tell you what I have going on alright y'all so like I said the old Husky 359
the old trusty chainsaw y'all seen me replace the carb on it before in another video today I'm out
here I wanted to show you all this I started not even do this video but I said you know what it's
going to help some people out so here I am to do it for you if y'all have this chainsaw it'll be
the exact same process on this chainsaw but this is a this chainsaw has an outboard clutch meaning
the clutch it's actually on the outside of the saw so if you look right here you can see I've
already removed this and I'll show you how to do that in a second but what I wanted to show
key halt and you don't have to take all this off if you just if you just pull the bar off
and the chain you could see what I'm looking at here that is a worn out sprocket if you look in
here you can see all these teeth how they're so chewed up and we'll look at a little bit closer
when I get it off but this is just so y'all can look at it if you haven't gotten this
far yet so I want you to look at compare this to that look at the difference in this versus
that that one is completely wore out what I was having my problem was every time I would
be you know I would I would cut a little bit I could never get the chain tight the chain would
always get loose I could never get it it would be too tight or too loose and it kept throwing
off the bar so that was a telltale sign that my little drop sprockets bad so I'm gonna go
ahead pull this off and here let's take a look at and you can see here guys this thing is just
completely completely shot I mean it is chewed up wore out and that's a Powermate three 8-7
they're new on the right old on the left I took all this stuff apart just to show you all real
quick so this is like this is what you're dealing with and I'm gonna put it back together and show
y'all and so you can kind of get an idea of of how to take it apart if you can see it kind of apart
already and put that together that's always my fault so first thing that goes back on here this
is your little needle bearing now your clutch your clutch sits in here and if you can see right there
where it says off and it has an arrow so there's different ways to take this out y'all some people
you can take there's a tool that's used to stop the cylinder or some people will take a rope and
just put a rope down in there and the Rope will kind of stuff a rope down in to take the spark
plug out stuff a rope in and it'll kind of lock it up from turning but I didn't hey I didn't even
have to do that with this I use this old hammer and a little flat head screwdriver and was able to
knock it off you can see in the direction it says off that's actually clockwise so this these are
reversed threads on this so you can see here to actually put this on and tighten it you're going
to turn it counterclockwise so as you can see as you can see there so to loosen it you actually
turn it clockwise to loosen so reverse threads or monkey threads some people call them so pay
attention to that but the way this goes back on like I said needle Baron go ahead and drop your
drop your clutch in so when you flip this over you see you take your new one and I put it on with the
letters facing out and you just line it up here with the gears sometimes it's kind of tricky to
get it lined so there you go just like that so now once you have that you're gonna put this on
like so so you can see right here I had to take two hands kind of hold this hold your little rim
sprocket in place on that on that gear and from the inside kind of turn your clutch and remember
you're turning it turning it this way so remember you're going back counterclockwise to tighten it
on so with it on I just kind of you know with my fingers you can kind of turn that song I even took
a you know just to make sure it was good and tight just took this kind of this flat head just kind
of pushed on there some so it's good and snug and go ahead and pull it a couple times pull the rope
a couple times make sure everything's working so you can see here that the law of the rim sprocket
there when I spin it you know everything's turning lice give you another angle of it you can see it
here it's just down there good there's not a lot of play spin and fine so it's all taught to work
great and also picked up a new bar my other bar was wore completely out the teeth on the end of
it we're missing it was so worn down so farm tuff Husqvarna - some people call it so anyway so like
I was saying if you see here how I put it back together you can understand easily how to take
that apart you can see like I said and I'll show you all again off in that direction you can see
right here with the arrow pointing this way like I said what I did you see where it has a notch right
here flathead screwdriver will fit right in there on that notch on the edge so you can see there
put it on there BAM hit it a couple times with a hammer and it should spin off without you having
to take the spark plug out and put a rope in and lock the cylinder up lock the piston up so it
should work fine like that and I hit it a couple times and got to come off so no problems there
and like I said you happy when you spin that off pull this off pull both of these put pull
the clutch off this disc here with the gear and then pull your little drive sprocket or
rim sprocket off of there and replace it here's the old one trash and that's it y'all rest this
is pretty simple put the bar a chain back on tighten it up and you're good to go so
