• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

400 Cross engine cases

Be careful when welding one. I used a cardboard box and flooded it with argon from the TIG torch. We need to remove the air from the welded part because magnesium burns.
Being new at it I had one flaming droplet hit the floor. I figured I'd put the flame out. I stepped on it and had six or more Richard Pryor running with a flame in different directions. I said that wasn't a good idea to myself.

My son had a date to ride dirt bikes with a hot chick on Sunday but a guy riding Friday nite tee boned his clutch cover. Dad went to the shop on Saturday to weld up the crack.
I didn't want the boy to miss his hot first date riding. So I welded it.
 
74 250 was the first Mag center cases 400 were alum
Unless its an 84 400XC,WR.
Some clutch covers were Mag on the early 400.
Later george
 
Thats very interesting on the center cases. I did happen to find a water cooled husky made Al side cover that i picked up. Water and mag did not mix
well so they changed it and made out cover of AL.

I would like to find a set of those cases !
