Husqvarna Chainsaw Oiler Gear Failure

Just had my Husky 353 chainsaw oiler gear replaced due to gear failure, with less than 10 hours on the saw. The plastic spiral gear just had a flat spot on it. The dealer says he"s replaced a bunch of these in the last few months. Asked him why it failed, he doesn"t know. Asked him what I could do to avoid another failure, he says (jokingly) don"t use the saw? Anybody out there know if there is a problem, or am I just lucky? Maybe I should carry a spare....

Ribbitt, I worked at a True Value that sold Husky saws years ago. As stated below. A small piece of saw dust gets in and strips the gear or too thick of bar oil is used and can cause the same thing. By filling the worm gear area with a light white grease will stop the problem. That plastic gear is alot cheaper than a new oil pump. I own 4 husky saws and never had a problem once I was told that. I hope this helps Bill

I have a Rancher 55 that I suspect has a gear failure but haven't looked at it yet. Apparently many saws including other brands use a plastic gear and they do fail on occasion.

Repaired two of these lately, a 350 and a 61. Called my local Husky dealer who knows his stuff. Replace gear and washer, and pack the cavity around it with grease. This will help keep the sawdust out and stop the gear from binding. The saws I did really had nothing to stop sawdust from getting in. Worked like a charm. Don"t worry about the grease binding when cold, most of it will be moved off the gear from rotation. Just enough stays to fill the cavity.

Stihltech, thanks for the tip. I think you are absolutely correct...it probably was a chip that got in there, judging from the looks of the gear. Seems like they would design it to prevent that. I will pull off the clutch and pack the gear cavity. Sounds like I'd better keep a spare gear in my toolbox. I have not pulled a Husky clutch before....would you mind letting us know if there are any tricks to the process? Thanks again.
