Mix and matching parts.......

Was wondering if any parts interchange between, let's say, a 1979 250 CR and a 1981 430 XC? I am assuming that parts like chain rollers,brake peddles, footpegs and the like should work on eather model. Any thoughts?

Been looking over some Husky parts sites and I think I can answer my own question. It appears that a fair amount of parts will switch up. Sweet! That works for me as I have a 79 250 CR sitting on the shed that I can use for parts.

Can't wait till Friday when I get to bring home my new (to me) XC. Expect more stupid questions soon. Till then I will be reading every thread on this site to do with Left Kickers......

If you take the engine from the earlier one complete with that stufff which mounts to the frame and swingarm at the rear you can put that in the later frame. I put a 78 360 six speed into a 81 420 auto frame so I expect likewise for the two you list. I make new aluminum front mount plates anyway. I think I used a wr 430 pipe but don't recall as I have a 500 engine in there now. Notice that squashed portion of the frame on the silver framed one near the left footpeg. The kick starter hit the kick stand bracket but the kickstarter was lengthened not sure if timming is necessary with the stock lever.
