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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help! Debris found in my engine - 610/630 clutch issues

Not sure about the clutch plates. I'm a learn-as-you-go mechanic myself and have never taken a clutch apart.

I'm waiting on rivets from Hall's as well. Two sets of them.

after I buggered the first one I used a dremel to grind down the last two:thumbsup:
I dropped all the plates in the oil pan while taking them off :banghead::banghead::censored: what should I do now that they are all shuffled up?:eek:

STILL waiting on halls for the rivets:thumbsdown:

never been real impressed by halls but they are a sponsor :rolleyes:
 
My custom washers are already in production. After careful consideration, I have several experts in the field of hardening of the material consulted and further processing. I picked one of the best materials for such loads. Original washers are beeing made of low carbon tool steel and then tempered on 30-32 HRC (mesured on super rockwell). Because of such surface loads i will not do tepmering, but cementation (surface hardness and core strenght). If you know the procedure, you know what i mean. Surface hardness will be aboult 65-70 HRC...that is special for wear resistance...first i will make them 12 for myself, after 5000km measure them. If they will be the same, i will produce them for further selling with ebay....

I don't quite understand your process. Are you saying they will be annealed to 30-32HRC and surface hardened to 65-70HRC?
Which low carbon steel?
Just curious
 
Original washers are tempered on 30-32HRC (when we are tempering, whole washer has the same hardness). My washers will be cemented on 65HRC (cementation is surface hardness)...material i´ve picked is DIN 20MnCr5.
 
What sort of price do you expect to be selling these for ?
Looking to ship around the EU ?
 
If they will do their job properly i will produce them in bigger series and sell them. For europe with no problems, for US and others outside i dont know, because postage might be big expense. Price will be at least half of new ones from husqvarna!
 
Good news Luke! Keep us updated as to the outcome on those washers.
Done an oil change on my bike recently and no signs of washers so will keep an eye on this.
 
Washers are produced. I have assembled my husky and it works great! After second oil change (2000km) i´will check washers. If the will be in good shape, i will offer them on ebay! I have 6 sets of 12 washers to sell. Price will be half of new husky ones (100€), that 50€ + shipping! Contact me for details!

I'm still having trouble tracking down someone that can do the rivets for me. I have a bag of washers sitting here waiting to be installed.
 
I take it you can't see the spring cup washers 'till you remove the assembly, right? I finally took my side cover off after a couple thousand miles to check the screen. Didn't know to look at the clutch. My screens were clean.

The shaft bushing is pressed in, correct? If it's loose you get a stock replacement for it?

Otherwise the fix seems pretty straightforward.
Thanks!
 
I wonder if there's a place I can ship my clutch to in order to get new spring cup washers installed. I have all the parts; just don't have the right tools for the job!
