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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
How you tell the difference between 78 OR and CR250??

At this point I believe the only way to tell the difference is to split the cases and compare the gear numbers with the Husqvarna parts lists for the two models. Attached is a gear chart I compiled from the Husky parts lists. It shows all the models for '78 and the gear numbers for each.
Once you match up the gear numbers, you will know what model you have.
And while you have it apart, you can replace the bearings and seals for a little over $200.
In rebuilding these old Huskys, I have noticed the OR model seems to come with the silver rims where the CR comes with the gold. But that may not be an exact science.
