OT - Husky crank need

[Big Mac]

Sorry for the Swedish slant on this site, but most fans of Euro Iron have a Husky or two secretly stashed away.

Any chance someone has a '79-'82 250 Husky parts motor with a decent crank that can be scavenged? Have an '81 250WR with a broken off crank-end on the magneto side. Some yay-hoo with no idea of the reverse thread apparently put a big impact wrench on the nut and twisted the thread end off (not me, honest).  A bad crank that can have the right side stub robbed out of it would be great.

You might check withy Forest Stahl, I was told yesterday that he might have some Husky parts, or Jake Fischer might even have some NOS parts stashed away. Mike

The right stub can be drilled and tapped. I've never done it but I've herd its been done.

Contact Forest at 765-284-7653, he has tons of Husky's and inventory.  He used to be a Husky/Penton dealer in the late 60's.  You won't find anyone else better than Forest when it comes to vintage Husky;)

And he is awesome at rebuilding cranks too!

Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely give Forest Stahl a call and see what comes of it. I looked at drilling and tapping the stub end with our local vintage engine guru Charlie Brown. He said the hardened crank is super hard to get a tap into, and drilled ends are prone to cracking and failing. Would be a simple cheap fix if it would work though.

I did the drilling and tapping mod on a broken crank some years back. The mainshaft stub wasn't too hard to tap. This was on a ex Swedish army 350. The reason I did it was because a) I was skint (no money) and b) you couldn't buy spare parts. If they're available buy a new stub and rebuild the crank.
