Thanks, Spike60. There are no REAL Husqvarna dealers near me anymore, just the hardware stores who carry the lower end & mid level stuff. The only parts the carry are chains, a couple of bars, and spark plugs. The old timers who really knew their stuff have either passed away or closed up shop. The last servicing dealer nearby was a John Deere dealer, and apparently the corporate gurus forced him to switch to Stihl. This was too bad for him, because there is already a gold-level Stihl dealer at the Kubota/New Holland dealer about a mile away who is VERY good. Bad for me because I now have a 70 minute round trip to get service or parts (if I need the parts faster than mail order).

When shopping locally, I had both Husqvarna and Oregon part numbers, AND I brought the part I had removed from the saw with me. The Stihl dealers didn't have the size. The local Taylor Rental used to be a Jonsered dealer, but has switched over to Echo. They still service Jonsered and other saws. They had the right size, but it was some aftermarket junk. I bought two to have a spare. When I got them home, the both had so many burs and zits on the from the manufacturing process that one would not slide on the shaft at all, and the other would go on if I forced it, but was such a snug fit that it would not float on the shaft. That's when I went to mail order, but made the mistake of going by the part number, rather than measuring.

I'm guessing that new oil pick up line is the same, regardless of the drum and oil gear used, is that correct? My 357XP is currently oiling OK, but it has started to weep a bit of oil when stored (not as bad as my Jonsered 2152). What do I ask for if I want to get the new line? I'll likely have to get it online, so probably need a part number to search it out.
