• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

82-88 Case Repair

You can’t just redrill the bore because a drill will drill towards the out of round side. You have to locate the orginal hole on center and use a milling cutter(end mill) to put the bore on the proper centerline again. Plunge the end mill in the bore first to true it. Then go to the od of the bronze bushing. By boring it. Once the bore in the case it fixed put the clutch cover on it and reborn the bore in the clutch cover if that’s loose or egged shaped too.
 
My new 12” craftsman drill press would work fine in fixing it. I was just saying by drilling it the drill bit would follow the offset of the wear with the hole being egged shaped. I would line it up and use a endmill to make the hole on the orginal centerline first. Then open it up to the od of the bushing.
 
If I still had a Bridgeport with a digital readout I could do the complete jig and final repair for $100 or less. If more people want the same hole in the primary kick cases bushed, the price can go down. Amortization over larger numbers of repairs.
 
I’m gathering machines as I find them. Even a small milling machine comes in handy. I want three welders too that I can piggy back off my gas engine powered stick, 200amp/100% duty cycle Hobart. Those new inverted MIG, TIG and plasma cutter are nice. Then a lathe, milling machine, press , I need to fab a boring machine I have a coolant pump setup already. I want my shop back.

Those Milwaukee skill saws that cut steel are nice too maybe santa will bring me one.
