I know Kevin can find great deals on cheap 372's that run, but so far I haven't found much for lower priced project saws. I am looking for a project 372, seems theres decent supply of parts out there for them & you can find the saws, however as a firewood hack I don't have to have new & shinny. What is mostly seen is the really nice saws that bring a lot higher price for. The super faded 372 on the bay for 300, well he didn't except my offer of $200 shipped & evidently his other offer didn't meet his expectations either. What should be a reasonable price for an older 372 that needs rebuilt?
-
The last one I sold went for $175.00. It was complete but ugly and needed a top end job. Are you planning to build the saw up from parts? I have a pair of decent cases ugly but usable that you can have for $20 plus ship if you want them.
A buddy of mine got three basket case saws for 170 shipped from down south, so have a look on CL from down south.
-
If you have time and patience you will find the type prices Tim is talking about.
I sold my ported and rebuilt stock ones for $400. Some had new oem crank kits $200+, oem tanks $100 etc. If I came even close to breaking even I was happy. If I would have kept them all for myself. I had a good deal. I just decided to try and build another series of saws is my reason for selling.
-
I look for blown up 365's. They are usually less money and I like them better anyway....especially with a 372 top end.
-
Yes I have some of those 365's
-
I got a 365, 372, 394, $ 270 shipped to me. Add $300 in parts and they will be good as new. People on ebay are nuts for what they want for saws, and some people pay it.
-
Tractorsaw1, here is a 365SP on feebay appears to be a 2000 saw. However IMHO the 'ported' muffler he bought appears to be a stock 'EU' muffler!

Thanks guys, I will keep an eye on the 365. Please enlighten me on the stock "EU", not sure what that means. Also can you give me some pointers on telling the year of the saw?
-
The year is on the name plate near the bar oil fill hole. After you get familiar with them, you can get pretty close on the year by just looking at them.

Quick answer EU=European Union. The EU mufflers are the ones with the tube out the upper left corner and are MUCH MORE RESTRICTIVE than the US version with the outlet in the top.
-
Ok, I think I can unrestrict that ;D
-
Well it is not as easy as it sounds. The muffler is divided in half vertically by a plate which you have to split the muffler to remove, cheaper to buy a Chinese muffler that is just an empty can. HLS pro parts sells the Hyway version which is quite good! Mention this site and you get 10% off your entire order!

I have a 372bb kit still in the box
75 bucks shipped if you need one. pm me
David

oK thanks, will see what happens. I was kinda thinking bb with an 064 piston & porting work.

He is a member here and as. I know the guy and he is straight shooter here in Ohio. epicklein22 http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/index.php?action=profile;u=25
Up for sale is a good running 2003 Husqvarna 372xp chainsaw. Starts and runs well. New OEM crank seals, fuel line, fuel filter, gas & oil caps and rim sprocket. In decent shape overall, just the normal scrapes and scratches from use. Muffler is dented, but doesn't leak or effect performance. There is a crack in the clutch cover up top, but I'm gonna drill the end of it and give it a layer of JB Weld. Comes equipped with a 20" bar and chain. Overall, this saw is in good shape and ready for work. $375
PM is probably the best way to reach me, or you can call, Andrew 330-281-0069.

Thanks Kevin, I actually looked at that. I think i got a deal working on more of a project saw, still waiting for pictures. I actually wanted to do some work on it, but that is a great deal on that saw.
-
Talking with a guy on this 365 parts saw. He says he has 372 recoil and high top air fillter cover ( dont know if it has HD filter set up or not). He says needs piston, maybe cylinder and muffler. Who really knows. This is only pic I have seen so far.
Figure 50/50 crap shoot you might win you might lose. He wants $115 + shipping.
-
That price you couldnt lose could you? I wish I was more patient & waited for the deals to roll in! I rolled the dice on a 372xpw at a price I couldn't pass up, but I appreciate you posting up the deal. I'll find out thursday if I crapped out or not ;D

I dont want it and passing info to you guys. Trying to get the guy to list it here.
-
I new you could find em, if i hadn't bought one, I'd take it
-
OK, so what did you get? Any pictures?
Now to the mods, they run great with the BBK and the 064. You will have to mess with the piston a bit to get it to fit. You will have to take a little metal off the inside faces of the piston pin boss on the 064 piston and make sure the skirt has enough clearance at the crank throws. A MM is a necessity. My suggestion would be to put it together without porting, run it then if you see areas of opportunity then port it. You may also want to change the intake setup so you can run the much larger Walbro/Tillotson RWJ-4 carb off the 372XT. Thr RWJ-4 is a standard carb, no divided strato stuff on this model.
-
I should have it tomorrow. Its 75cc, but yes I plan on some mods! I'm not really a full wrap guy so I plan to swap that out at some point. It looked pretty clean, will see what if i did good or not.
-
I notice that it still has the S# tag, you might want to check out the manufacture date if it is a real 372XPW from 2007, 8 or 9 and still runs, you could flip it easily. Those saws are sought after and are pretty rare in the Eastern US, collectors are after me all the time to keep on the lookout for them. If it is those years and does need a top end I would put another OEM on it to preserve that it is original.
Looking at the pictures it appears that it is missing the inner felling dog, we also know that it is not the XT because of the side decomp valve. The original 372XPW saws were not marked "XPW" on the starter only said 372XP IIRC.

Not sure how to check out the numbers. Zoomed in the best I can without it getting too blury the black serial tag says:
Husqvarna 372xpw
965 74 03-00
07 1300710
I thought the 07 meant 2007? Seller did state that is said 75cc on the top cover sticker, that could of been swapped out, but It looks like it belongs on the saw. It was listed as a buy it now, so someone wasn't trying to get top dollar for it.
Hastle free returns, I didn't think i could get burned too bad. Seller had good feed back, stated runs great, we shall see.

I agree, 2007! If it runs good clean it up real good and sell it! The last one I sold was a low hour 2006 and I got $750 out of it, it looked like new!
Where did the saw come from? PNW by any chance? Say perhaps North OR or SO WA, if it came from who I think it did look out! Have a look at this thread

I looked fairly clean for an 07, after looking at a bunch of part projects bring pretty good money (other than the deal kevin posted) I couldn't believe it, had 8 people watching it, why would you watch a buy it now at a good price? Anyone close to central missouri have a 20" bar I can borrow? I failed to see the ships in 7 to 10 days for the bar on clearance at baileys, so not sure I will cut anything this weekend with it.
-
Found the closed listing on feebay, not the guy I was thinking of, so you are cool there. If you are going to keep it send it off to the chimp with a gun, you will like what you get back. At retail the jug and piston are worth almost what you paid for the saw! Nice score!
-
He didn't seem like a saw horse trader. I felt pretty good about it, really was surprised it was still there, I hope it turns out good.
-
The saw has a 51.4mm bore and an odd sized piston. The only place to get the rings is Husqvarna. Ring part # is 503 28 90-39 you need 2 and they cost $14.91 each!
-
This is my first husqvarna, so I got a lot to learn. So far, I'm not real impressed with what I think is the closest dealer, I got some more looking around to do.

I guess he didnt sign up to list it here. He sent more pics and said $100 and shipping.
I explained I dont have any parts for those anymore if it ended up needing a crank. Well worth $$$ though. Said he was going to start parting it out last night.
Looks like a newer topend IMO. Maybe aftermarket. Older crankcase with bar adjuster. Newer clutch cover style.

I'd take it for $100.

Wish you had seen it yesterday and told me. It's to late now.
He was making sure I wouldnt take it for 100 plus shipping last night, so he didnt have to take apart for a guy.

Did it arrive in one piece? How does it look to you? If you have questions post em!
-
It did arrive thursday. The pictures made it look better overall than it is. Don't get me wrong its not really trashed, but more scuffs than pictured. Overall I am happy with it at the price & it does have a mahle cylinder. The inside dog is missing cuz the screws are stripped out. I really need to fix that cause most of my cuts started a little crooked. I had ordered a techlite from baileys, didn't realize it wasn't shipping immediately. I was kinda in a pickle needing to cut some wood & really wanted to use it. I had a 16 or 18" bar & chain from a garage sale homelite sxl that I could barely get on the 7 pin, but it did work. It runs good, still haven't compression tested it yet but it does feel good. I bought a large dog set, but proly swap someone for the standard set. What size screws hold that dog on? Maybe I can open up to the next size? Here is its first load.
-
OK, great here is the scoop on the inner dogs. Stock they use a 4mm M5 x 20 or 25 socket head cap screw. They can be re-threaded to the next size up, that would be 5mm M6. The top screw goes in a blind hole so you must be careful when doing it. They strip because people don't keep them tight because they are too lazy to remove the bar and chain in order to keep them tight. A little blue Loc-Tite doesn't hurt either! I do this all the time even to brand new saws because I know how people treat them. The bottom one passes through the case. Depending on how badly they are stripped you may not have to pre drill you might be able to go directly to the tap. Resist the temptation to deviate from the metric screws.
-
Lazy is exactly this person. I have never seen a bar cover chewed up so much from the chain. I will stay with the metric screws & open them up to 5mm. I was thinking red loctite, maybe thats a little too permanent. Thanks!
