Yes, but the basic design is from the mid 1970s (162SE and
166SE)... :)

Hey guys I just got back from a out of town job run. Thanks for
posting the pics Kevin, yes I can get that saw for $300 thats
all the old fellow wants for it. The saw was passed down to him
from his deceased brother inlaw who never had a chance to use
the saw.
Its almost too nice to use for work getting it dirty seeing it
can be an excellent collector saw. My saws are used to their
full capacity. But I can keep this one on my shelf for only
$300.
I think of the 272XP as a factory big bore 268XP with a few
extra improvements, with its outboard clutch I think of it as a
super handling oversized 346XP.
Willard.

Redneck crankcase splitter (person with time). Having time on my
hands from having walking pneumonia for 6th day. Breathing good
enough to get it apart WITHOUT the $55 + $10 shipping oem
crankcase splitter. Still going to break down and get one some
day. Just rednecking it and no homemade splitter made either.

365 special crankcase tag. ;)
Could somebody give me some redneck tricks for getting the old
crank bearings out of the case? Hopefully someone has a trick
that is easier then the way I do it.

I just press them out with my vise and 2 sockets. Works great.
Have pressed them in with it also.

I never thought of using a vise.
I just changed them out. Heat oven to 200 degrees. Put both
halves in. Pull one out and used socket to drive out. Put back
in oven after cleaned up. Pull other one out drive out with
socket. Put back in and pull the first one out and use socket to
drive the new bearing in. Same thing on next one.
Will have to try the vise method sometime. Thanks for slick
trick.

Its been many years since I had to change out a bottom end but I
did just like Art does.... vise and sockets.. Didn't even use
heat or cold. I still have the original flywheel/ case puller
that came with one of my Jonsereds I bought back in the mid
1970s. Came with the saw because of the routine maintenence the
saw needed with its poiints [about every 6 mths of 8 hr a day
logging.]

No. Nothing against doing it, just uses up time.
