• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 have a spare parts manual for my 76 250 that calls out a part 14 which is a rubber ring. Can anyone tell me where exactly this parts goes? It's on the "frame - footbrake - footrest - parking rest" page of the manual.

Thanks!!!

It is an O ring that wrapped around the wing nut and brake rod and rear brake plate actuating arm to keep the rod located properly in the rear actuating arm. Later (starting in 77) Husky used a spring back there on the brake rod. Hope I explained that clearly.

Thank you both for your response! Marty - any chance you have a pic of how this ring is wrapped? It must not be a vital piece because I can't ever recall seeing one installed.

As a side note - I bought one a couple of years ago, maybe from Halls, but not sure. It's been sitting in box because I wasn't sure what to do with it. Haha.

If you look at the factory/oem owners manual for the 250/360CR and 360WR date 3-75 #1018027-26 it shows a good picture on page 51 fig #149. I would scan it for you but my scanner is broke.
 
thanks Marty! after looking a little more closely i see the 76 did not have a spring keeper. However, someone has apparently replaced the brake rod on my bike with one from a later model with the spring. Probably works better than the rubber ring trick.

Thanks so much for the help!
