Husqvarna 165rx parts

[openspaceman]

Not a chainsaw but do any of the dealers here know if parts are available for this brushcutter?

 

I have 2, the first a 165r I bought in 1974 and the second. a 165rx belonged to a mate who probably bought it in the 80s and I'm trying to fettle it for his son.

 

Some long distant memory makes me think that the original maxi cut saw blades were considered too big and only smaller ones became available.

 

I'm looking for a saw blade guard and the drive washers as well as the blade.

As far as i know the maxi blades and Scarlet blades are still available, back then they were 20mm centres, i may have some flanges about.

Thanks I'll PM you.

 

would it make sense to change to the later blade centres if this is possible?

 

I'll have to see if my mate can make an aluminium guard to pattern.
