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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Extreme Gearbox Inspection!

Great idea I think I will make a set out of some old cases. Thank you for this photo.

Great to see how thick Husky made the idle gear mounting area cut in two - much beefier than I thought.

Off subject a bit. Just wish we all could have made the next level of Husqvarna prototype development release that we could remove
the transmission with a special split case that did not have to be removed from frame. Imagine that.
 
You mean like the casset types ossa are having issues with at the moment?
They did them back in the day successfully but not husky.

the swede engineers were working on cassette transmissions when the whole show moved to italy..
 
Nice picture Andy. The top two gears are real close in ratio I would think just from the sizes. The second gear up from the bottom is kind of compromised from full width. At least they seem to have been pushing the envelope of how wide to make the gears from your description of problems.

For folks just mix and match the six speed ones if you do not install the crankshaft the cases with the transmission in go together easy to see if things did not mix or match well.

The Gas Gas two cycle engine says cassette style transmission, not sure what that means. I never had a Harley Sportster but have heard they have a cassette transmission but that was like 20 years ago. The auto shaft with the free wheels comes out easy.
 
Sportsters had cassette style transmissions from 1957 until 2003. and KR / XR 750 dirt trackers and road racers.
