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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Removing The 250 Crankcase Web

I bought a crankcase set from a 1984 250CR to convert to use for the 430WR I am rebuilding. What is the preferred method to remve the 250 crankwell web to use the larger crank of the 430? Do people typically break them out or machine them out?
 
Of course machining would be the perfered method.I guess you could get out with a course burr and a air grinder.
 
Hello, I have a set of 1984 250 WR Cases that should be the same thing. The Bike sat to long and has Gut Rot in the 250 Web area but the rest of the Case looks good. As I have a Bridgeport Mill I could Machine mine out as the Cases are junk anyway for a 250. If I like the end result I would be glad to do the same for You.
 
I know it is easy, I just do not have the equipment I used to have. I did not want to sell everything as I wanted to stay in business after selling some equipment to pay for a retrofit for my NC mill that was ailing. I sold my Monarch engine lathe and had a kid coming in to look at one of my two Bridgeport mills. He saw the NC and wanted that instead. That put me out of business. Then I only wanted to sell one Bridgeport and that guy wanted both. My wife said sell him both. I wanted one for projects. She said you will always be in a shop, just use one there. Doesn't work like that most places around here these days
 
If your cases have the separation web, I would think so. But I recall there being a difference between 1981 and 1982 250 cases but the 1981 430 cases are the same as the 1982. I hope someone with better knowlege chips in here
