Yeah, it was a misunderstanding. I had asked Kevin. When he said no, I took it to mean that they couldn't be had. He was simply meaning that he didn't have any in stock. Oh well...worse things have happened.

I love the heat gun for this, I only got myself a heat gun about 4 or 5 years ago and I kicked myself for not having one all along. It's amazing how that small amount of heat makes it all go so much easier.

Good looking green machine! The bearings and seals can be found Try Koyo. B-108 PB L 125 Seals SKF. 6120. With gasket delete I got 190 psi On the 4000 Haven’t touched the 3700 yet. Those bearings seem to have play on some cranks So keep your chain loose when stored. Easy on those baby seals. Great video up close!! Lots of interest in these old torquer’s.
@jaredmessmer8879 Жыл бұрын
Are the crank seal the same on the 3400 3700 or Craftsman 3.7/18 as the SKF 6120?
@novicelumberjack Жыл бұрын
I now know that I can get the bearings. It was a misunderstanding. I have begun porting it and looks to be some HUGE opportunities for power gains. The numbers were atrocious! The intake was opening at 66⁰! Truly horrible.
@brendathomasmusick1218 Жыл бұрын
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out. The 3400-4000 series saws aren't powerhouses but they are a stout reliable saw!
@novicelumberjack Жыл бұрын
From what I'm seeing, it should be a massive improvement. The stock timing numbers are TERRIBLE! Only 132⁰ of intake duration. Should be closer to 156⁰. That's a big difference.
@walt5797 Жыл бұрын
Yeah you can get new bearings, a bearing supplier can match the numbers but they're expensive, I ordered two yesterday in Melbourne Aus, $36 AU for the pair but I couldn't get seals.

@novicelumberjack Жыл бұрын
I was surprised to find a hole directly into my crankcase right at the bottom of the crank. Closer inspection revealed that it was for the oil pump. I hadn't even thought about the oil pump being operated by a diaphragm. I just had mine all apart and cleaned it up. I betcha you could easily disassemble and clean it. Probably fix it right up. Mine was all kinds of gunked up.

I have not. I feel like the LRB pistons are clearly of a lower quality. The aluminum is soft and the casting marks are sharp, but I have never had one fail. But if there is a different option, I take it.
