• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

1986 430 Auto Crankshaft

I don't know much about Auto's but I've had to source crankshafts for other Husky models from the 70's. If you haven't done so already, try contacting some of the folks selling vintage Husky parts and ask them if they have anyone they can recommend. In my experience I've had to buy a worn out crank from one source, newer stub shafts from another, a con-rod kit from another, and have another rebuild the crank with the parts I sourced. Google "vintage Husqvarna parts" and ask those guys if they know anyone who may have what you need, and go from there.
 
What is wrong with the crank shaft you now have? If you need a new con rod kit I have a couple of very lightly used ones I pulled from cranks that had bad stub shafts. The con rod kit part # is 161064201.

When I built my Auto, the only parts I re-used from the crank was the two cheeks. New stub shafts and a rod and pin kit.
