• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I call it a refresh because it's going to be my rider and not a show piece. So here we go, welcome to my nightmare. This is what I bought.1976 360.JPG1976 Husky.JPG
 
Top end was bad so that's where I started. What a pain in the butt getting that barrel off, took a lot of sweat and curing but I won.DSCN0115.JPG
 
Pulled wheels and shocks. Sent shocks to see about rebuild. Rear wheel bearing are shot. Will get to them a little later. DSCN0118.JPG
 
Removed forks seals are both blown, Ordered seals and will pull apart later and check springs to see how bad they sagged. Got one over piston and ring so cylinder is at machine shop getting bored. Ordered seat pan, new foam and cover, fenders and # plates. Spent all day trying to get swing arm bolt out, wore out two brass drifts and a knuckle. No go. Any suggestion guys? Bolt is seized in the motor mount not swingarm I think.DSCN0119.JPG
 
good progress so far, what are your plans when its done and running?
im just over the border in mercer, pa. where are you in ohio?
 
Trail and fire lanes. I plan on flat tracking my 500TT Yamaha this year so won't have a lot of time to get in the woods.
 
Looking good. Please keep us updated, eveready. We're watching with interest! :)

Ok that's what I thought. I know he went to IT 175 after the Honda. I couldn't remember if the just did a 125 and 250 without something in between.

Well big disappointment today put top end on did leak down test and could not get it to even come up to a pound of presser. no leaks on the top of motor. So stator puller what size are the threads 27mm? And I'll have to buy a case splitter too.
