I've got 4 more 372's all stripped and cleaned now for winter rebuilding. Along with 2 254's, 4 346's, 2 200T's, a 357 and 2 350's which will take up some dark evenings 😂 I always put the bearings into the cases first. Bearings in the freezer heat the cases with heat gun and cold down with compressed air. I then use the oem installation tools to pull the crankshaft through, they're pretty reasonably priced and assemble perfectly with the crank free spinning straight off I certainly recommend the investment! I do also use the heating the bearing with an old drill press arbour, only heat until you feel the bearing seizing otherwise you'll blue it. But only use that for crankshafts I can't use the oem tools on. Aftermarket chain brake parts are junk😂 I bought 1 lot never again. I've also been buying exhausts 5 at a time from ft for yrs now always open and cheap that's why I buy them.
Thanks for the 2 saws yesterday very tidy examples

Thanks for the interesting video Richard. Been very interested in getting a tacho for my saws. Never sure what one to buy. Thanks for the info.
