The 6202 bearings used in the 372 are very commonly available. They are also very common in chain saws.

These bearings if bought from other than the chainsaw dealer will most likely have shields or seals on both sides.

These seals or shields can be removed with a ice pick or scribe before installation.

Well, piston "Meteor" and gasket set order today.  Daughter is excited and wants to get going on the project.  Very cool for a 10 y/o girl!
I just found out that the saw had been in my buddy's trunk for about one year prior to me getting it.  I'm thinking the carb will need to be at least cleaned or maybe a rebuild kit for it.  It's a Walbro  21-477  3-8  not sure what that means can't seem to find  any other numbers on it, any thoughts on ID or if I should clean and inspect or just get a kit coming?

The carb on a 372 in the USA is a Walbro HD-12B

The complete Walbro carb kit is K10-HD

 The bearings come pre-greased, should I clean them out prior to instal and then put some of the mix oil on them?

It doesn't matter about the grease as long as you don't get dirt in the grease. It will sling out of the bearings and go through the engine is short order.

Naturally if the saw is ten below zero when you first start it, the grease will be unbearably stiff.

I have three Anti-vibration springs accounted for, two on the tank and the one that goes from the cylinder to the handle is this all of them.
Also, on the clutch side the call for a travel limiter bolt, witch I don't have, it was missing when I got the saw, is this a special bolt?
I'm having some trouble, cause I'm at the point where I started taking the saw apart, and the rest was done prior to me getting it.   Thanks for any help.  Jason

Yes special bolt on right side. If my memory is right. Can use another bolt same length till you get the right smooth ended one.   

I can check to see if I have one in my husky bolts.

There are only three springs for the vibration mounts like you said. . .  Two on the tank and one on the cylinder.

The special travel limiter bolt fits in hole under the chain cover back towards the lower part of the upper handle. The bolt has most of the threads turned off in a lathe.

Ok, do you know if the travel limiter bolt just  pushes up against the tank unit?  I see a recessed hole in tank unit  5-6 times larger then the M5 bolt that will go through the case, or power head.
