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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Metal piece in oil, a big one!

Alright guys, I have been having little metal slivers in my oil that has a rounded profile... Meaning it is evident it from something round, possibly around a 3-4" inch circumference if I had to guess.

Well I'm changing my oil as we speak, and this is what I found. It was attached to the oil drain magnet, so obviously it's metal, and about 3/4" in length.

Any ideas? This sucks..

This is purely speculation; could be from any of the crank or tranny bearings. It will require splitting the cases regardless. Could also be from either left or right side covers. Try those areas first as you can remove both with the engine in the frame. If your not familiar with tear downs, I suggest hiring someone that owns the pullers and manual.

So if this is the case, we aren't talking a full rebuild are we? Or once I'm in there, I may just want to freshen it up either way huh? Thanks for the help.

Any idea where I can find images of the guts on these things to try and match up what I have here?

Oh, and this is a 2006 Husky 510 SMR

I will rebuild it myself, mechanically inclined, just haven't ripped one of these apart before and now is the time to learn.
 
Thanks Andrew, and yes it's supposed to be flat.. there is a lip on one of the edges but it clearly looks melted. It's weird because when looking at it, it looks like it may be from a retaining clip or a c-clip, but the half circle looks like it was meant to be that way. Doesn't look broken on that part, and it's smooth on the inner circumference

You can use the parts catalogue, which has diagrams of all the parts, here: http://www.husqvarnafactory.nl/pdf/2006/2006_SPC_TE-TC-SMR_250-400-450-510.pdf

Hmm.. I've gone through it a couple of times, and don't see anything obvious that matches what you've shown.

Hard to tell from your pic, but is the piece completely flat?

Looks like the #42 plate on the shifter assembly (p.76) like it may have cracked and split off ...

I appreciate the help, but this doesn't seem to match up. Hole is no where near the notches, as well as the notches being on the outside of the circumference. The scale also seems far off, this piece of small as well as the partial hole in the piece I removed.

That's the only part I thought it could be from, but still doesn't seem quite right. It seems like there's too much material above the hole. In the pic that rivet0r provided, there appears to be at least a diameters worth of material. It doesn't look like there's that much material in the parts diagram. I suppose it could be that the diagram is not completely proportional...

I say run it... then run it again... if no problem, run the heck out of it. Maybe it's just something that fell in the case during assembly.

I have noticed that Husky (and other) parts diagrams aren't always representative of the latest (or earlier version)

part or the part specific to that exact application. More of a generic picture to get you headed in the right direction.
FWIW :excuseme:
It will be interesting to see what it is.
 
99% sure it is part of the large snap ring on the starter clutch bearing assy. Those are a known issue, normally it is the small thin plate with the tangs on it that shreds but I remember searching old threads and one other actually had the snap ring come apart.
