A trip to Sweden could be good for your 390.

78 brake

its not a husky brake !... they were rod operated, fully floating.

Trying to read what it says on the backing plate but can't make it out. Somebody made some mods. Have fun!

Seems to be written KARLSTROM SALA !

The frame number will not tell you whether it is a CR or OR/WR. If the engine number plate is missing from directly over the countershaft, the only way to tell is if and when you have to get into the case, you can tell by the numbers stamped into the gears and determine from the parts lists.

Be prepared to spend some serious time and $$ for the project. I used ebay for alot of the parts I needed for my project. Just put in 1978 Husqvarna and look at the results. Your rear brake configuration is foreign. Also rebuilding the front suspension is much cheaper than the rear. You can get new seals from any seal house, but the rear require special skills and equipment to rebuild. Be prepared to spend at least $350 for the pair. Parts are getting harder and harder to come by. I had Suspension by Jake do mine and he did good work. He is located near Riverside, CA.
