The remaining info really ought to be measured with a mic, to make sure we have the accuracy we need to get the fit right. If you your bushing out, PM me about mailing it, I can send it back to you in a day. Where in PA are you located? Anywhere near Philly?
I am way overdue for installing this and will happen any day now. I dont need another excuse for postponing the cup spring washer swap with nearly 16K miles on the clock. I will take measurements again with my digital caliper once I remove it from the packaging. I will let it get up to room temperature first as currently near freezing temp in the garage. But if you trust a caliper to measure the part, will be same accuracy for measuring the shrink plastic so above measurements are still valid. I would think better than a used part anyway. From latest posts though it looks like the Husky parts supply channel has started to flow so all this probably for naught. This is only a $16 part so fabbing one yourself would probably be much more expensive. Also not mentioned is what material is this made from, what hardness, plated, etc.? _
I looked into the cost of materials yesterday and these would probably be around $20 to fab; certainly seems reasonable. The factory piece is made from some sort of bronze alloy, but a replacement part doesn't need to be the exact same material. I would make these out of either 660 bronze (SAE standard bushing material) or Oilite (SAE 841, a sintered porous bronze with impregnated lubricant). Given that this part is in a lubricated location, 660 is probably a good choice. If nobody needs these I won't bother, but we might as well get the measurements while we're thinking about it, and then if/when somebody needs one they can just let me know.
I think the thread answered my question......which is: With Husky p/n: 161538802 being a 630 bushing the 07 and later 610 bushing is the same number and same bushing?
I live in Italy and today I've been to a Husqvarna dealer and ordered that bushing. I asked the dealer whether they had problems with the spare parts and he answered that they had problems because the warehouse has been moved from a city to another, but in these weeks the parts should begin to arrive again.
You called it Theo, my clutch bushing and cam chain showed up today! I think I might order an extra one while they have them in stock.
What in the wide world of sports are you guys doing that you need to replace your bushings so often?!? 54,117 miles and *zero* measurable wear.
I don't even know if my bushing is worn but once I replace the cup washers why not the bushing too? I know a bit redundant but that's ok, I would rather error on the side of too careful than not careful enough.
Ha- I've been looking at my old one (while waiting on the new to arrive...should be Monday) and thinking "you know, I can't wait to measure this thing against the new one...bet there's little to no wear." So yeah- also been skeptical about the fuss but, in the end, couldn't argue/risk against the logic I've been seeing (which of course has been "eh, for 16 bucks and as long as you're in there you might as well.")
My 610 has less than 9,000 miles. Today I've replaced the bushing; with the new one there is much less play. I've measured the outer diameter of both the old and the new bushings and they are very similar, but when I installed the new bushing onto the shaft I noticed that it was tighter than the old one, so I guess that the old one was worn mainly on the inner surface.
So that bushing eliminates noisy right hand cover(clutch cover).Mine is a bit noisy when the clutch lever is free and not depressed.When i pull in the lever that noise goes away.Its not a ''bad'' or worrying sound but it s there.Should i order a bushing myself too?
