Title: 346 353 drums rims etc
Post by: Cut4fun . on June 03, 2013, 09:34:09 pm
Just showing you guys the set up for running the standard rims on the 346 etc saws.  That way if you wanted to run 3/8 8T 9T or .325 9T for some unknown reason you could. Otherwise it is small rim set up like on left.



Notice how lucky I got on the 346 set on right. Was running it with a missing bearing and noticed nothing odd.

Thanks for the info, but I see no reason to run anything larger than .325x8 or 3/8x7 on the 346xp - so no need for the standard (large) 7-spline drum.  ;)

I agree with Niko, if I modified my 346XP enough to pull a 8 pin 3/8 or .325 9pin with authority............then I would have to keep on modifying and install a larger fuel tank and enlarged oil tank.
But for the cookie cutter / get together saw the stock fuel and oil tank would do. :D ;D

Yep it was only done for guys that wanted to test  for cookie cutting times.  ;)

Just look up the IPLs on the Husky website, under "Support". It is really simple, and the "Library" goes back to about 1972.....

Thanks for the info Kevin.  If converting a 350 from spur type to rim drive, is a replacement oil pump drive gear needed (as with the 357/359)?  I've yet to pull the clutch off of any of the saws in this series, but will do so soon if I keep the 350 I'm fixing rather than sell/trade it away (as I'll swap from a spur to a rim drive system if I keep it).

Never had a spur to know.  660mag may know. He has a 350.

dug up some info on SPUR


Oregon Power Mate Rim & Drum for (.325" x 7) Husqvarna & Jonsered 345, 346, 350, 351, 353

This professional drive system includes a splined drum (clutch cup) with a replaceable rim. The rim floats freely on the spline, allowing the saw chain to align with the groove of the bar. Comes complete with .325" x 7 tooth spline. Drive sprocket bearing sold separately.

Note Requires a special clutch tool 31118 to replace. If you are converting a Husqvarna 346, 351 or 353 from a spur sprocket you need to purchase #503 89 21 02 oil pump drive gear as well. If you are converting a Husqvarna 357 or 359 from a spur system you need to purchase #503 91 27 03 oil pump drive gear. This rim & drum system has a small 7 spline and uses RSS rims. If you would like to run larger RSD rims, use part number ORF 108565.

The IPLs tell me the same, comparing the 350 setup with spur to the 346xp one with rim.

The small rim drums did not hold up for us. We switched over to the big spline and never had a problem after.

The issue with those is that you can't run .325x7 or x8 on them.

That was no issue for us as all saws ran 3/8 anyway.

Bump for those guys still learning.

Yes there was a way to put a 3/8 8 on a 346. Not that you should. But for testing purposes you can. The 3/8 7 was always fastest in cant cutting.

I had the like new 350 for probably 4 years but never messed with the 7 tooth .325 spur. I have since sold it a couple years ago.

Jim I think I put that standard spline set up on your 346. The guy from Oz wanted the small set up on the ported 346 I sent him so we traded set ups.

Am I correct in my memory?

Post by: 660magnum on September 04, 2015, 01:41:12 pm
Yes, you swapped a splined clutch bell / 7 tooth rim and worm from a 357XP onto my saw so you could use the existing small spline hub from my saw onto his.
