My 1987 Husqvarna AE had a clutch spring that broke and scraped the crankcase cover. This caused metal shavings to get inside the gears which didn't mess anything up, but I want to get these out of here so nothing does get messed up. Flushing oil through this multiple times would be expensive, so I was wondering if there would be a cheaper alternative. Someone said to get five gallons of kerosene, but there no where local that sells it that I know of other than home good stores where it costs like $10 a gallon.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

But do not let it sit too long before you get it running as diesel fuel has lots of sulfur in it and it will over time corrode.

1 gallon of diesel fuel and 2 cans of brake cleaner , its under pressure in the can and it dry's very fast... works like a charm hope this helps.
