<p>Thanks very much for the advice Steve. I'm using this saw everyday, I know its hard to predict future problems but do you think its worth spending the money on the repair or just take the hit and buy a new saw? Cheers Matt</p>

<p>Hi Matt, main bearings tend to last the life of the saw as does the crank, that being said, these new machines run on a lot less fuel oil mix and there lies the problem. The cost you have been quoted seems about right, I usually charge around £200 labour for bottom end rebuilds so your guy isn't quoting an exorbitant fee. Personally I would only use synthetic oil in these saws and a 40:1 mix - lots may disagree but that is there choice.</p>

<p>Cheers</p>

<p>Hi Spud,</p>

<p>I wander if you can help me? I have a husq 560 xp about 4 years old - it went in for repair the other day and I've been told the main bearings have gone and its going to cost 280 to repair -parts and labour. Just wandered roughly what your price would be for the repair - and if this is a common problem on a 4 year old saw? Thanks in advance, Matt</p>
