MS200T needle cage bearing

[wicklamulla]

Now i was wondering if it would be possible/advisable to drill out the end of the crank shaft (2 holes required) so i could then easily grease the needle cage bearing which sits inside the chain sprocket without the need to remove the spark plug /clutch every time i need to do it, as it's a bit of a pain and time consuming to do:001_rolleyes: The husky ground saws i own have these 2 tiny holes drilled in as standard from the factory but i was wondering if it would significantly weaken the MS200T's crank shaft ? No i'm not

Great idea, let me know how you get on:001_rolleyes:

 

Just squirt a bit of oil around it if you have the side cover off - most survive well with little maintenance unlike the MS261:001_rolleyes:

The crank should be made of something hardened like nitrided EN40B so I don't think it would be easily drilled. Bearings are not expensive and you don't grease or lube them that often and they get enough chain oil to keep them going for a long time from what I've seen today when I had my saw in bits.

Peatff, yes i think the chain oil that migrates into the bearing is enuf to keep it going. I was just looking to do what i thought was 'a clever mod' but it's silly really ! must look at modding the stock exhaust as mine is different to sum udder 200T's i have seen.
