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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Trying to identify Husy I bought

Hello, I bought a Husky and am trying to identify which one it is.
What I know is, the VIN is a WO-11000+ so from what I found, that is a 1984 WR series.
Looking at pictures online, it looks to be a 400 or greater possibly a 500.

I am looking for the location of the engine code so I can figure out what it is.
Or if there is any other way to tell, please let me know.
If anyone can help with this, that would be great.

Thanks!
 
look on the top of the block, just inside where the kicker sits...should be a 8 digit number. is it liquid or air cooled? if air cooled you can tell by how many fins...
 
It is air cooled. It has 10 fins before the head connects.

There are no numbers on top of the block, bottom of the block or the front that I can see.
I took a wire brush and some air to everywhere I could. I even removed the carb to see if any numbers were under it.
Thank you for replying!

What does 10 fins tell us?
 
indeed, 10 fins always means 5-hunny........should make a sweet bike when shes done....try to take some pics for us
 
After tinkering with this, I got it running. It lives!!!

I guess it is time to take some picture, start a restore post and start tearing it apart.
