Husqvarna 365 special and 365 Xtorq. Same model name, totally different saws.

Greetings from the south Okanagan sir. Thanks for another fine instructional video, I appreciate it. I've been running a 2006 made 372XPG with a 24" bar since it came out of a Red Deer pawn shop a year later than it was new. Buddy has a newer 372 X Torque, I want to say a 2014 or 2016 and while it cuts good, I wouldn't trade. All the best.

Interesting stuff, I have a 2010 445 (built May 14) and have used it hard all these years, I have it apart for a refresh and have finally started to understand the X-torq system. The way I understand it, it's just a (sophisticated) fresh air exhaust purge. The top end looks good, so I'm leaning toward leaving it stock, at least port timing wise. As I see it, X-torq MAY be an emissions system 1st, but a purer charge makes more power per cc. I just went thru my Poulan 2150, and the similarities shocked me, so I started learning about the Husky family and it's history. Learned a ton from your channel, and am looking forward to more tech on the X-torq saws (and the rest as well). I've had the disease for years, started with an tuned pipe setup Craftsman/Echo CS-302 back in the '80s ago (sadly stolen - sure wish I could find a clean one). Sorry to ramble on, it's my nature - Thanks again!

And they both have full raps. Wow. What saws. They both cut well. Thank you for the video sr. Have a great week. ❤️🌲❤️🌲❤️🌲

My 365 is a 1998 model I really didn't know much about it till I watched your video!

Awesome information👍 and loving the daily uploads!

Both are great saws. The newer models of the x-torque 365 & 372 and OE 365 & 372 sold overseas have an additional stiffening rib on the clutch side case half, you can tell when you look inside the oil tank. It helps prevent the case from cracking when running long bars. Built right they are a joy to run.

Great video , I just purchase a 365 special in Ontario , saw runs great

another great video. we really are spoiled with all the extra content. i hope Mrs Tinman is well and not going too stircrazy.

This video has me excited. I got a blown 365 sp a couple months ago. Crank (wolf creek) and top end (csp) are in the mail as we speak. Should arrive any day now 😁

Very good theme! Thank you for the lesson! :)

Great content, Tinman! I learned quite a bit.

Hey Tinman. Two pretty slick saws from different generations has to tell a story about the quality of Husky saws. Love the dawgs on the sp. thanks for the vid

Great video Tinman! A couple of things, I believe the biggest reason they went to the limited coil(although the nylon bearings are a weak point) was more to do with the excessive weight of the x-torq piston. I believe it is also the reason the crank pin was so much thicker on the x-torq saws. I'm not 100% sure but I also believe that the x-torq saws run considerably hotter which is some of the reasons the nylon cage bearings tend to fail. The other difference in ignitions is a slight difference in timing curve and hotter spark at lower rpm to assist in starting. Those old 48mm 365 are one of the best saws ever built and punch far above their weight with minor mods. I have a Jonsered 2165 that has the basic "Spike special" mods and with a 24" bar or less can best a 372 x-torq and is every bit the equal of a stock 372 OE.

Excellent video my friend 😀

Those 48 bore 365’s are just beautiful saw’s… they don’t beat the bearings out of themselves because they ain’t being pushed that hard… a 20 - 24 inch bar and the air filter and a plug once a decade and you’ll still be cutting your firewood 30-40 years later like she did when brand new… it’s a perfect platform…. The ease of service and maintenance gives it that little leg up on a 044… but both of us know that with a 20” bar and super sharp chain in real clean wood that the little 044 will be a snap faster through the wood… the 372’s in my mind are a little more forgiving of dull chain and heavy handed operators!

Home Depot used the 365 special in the rental department in the early 2000’s. I was a technician there at the time and found them to be a great low maintenance saw as well, so I got a used one from there which only recently lost enough compression to where I had to put a 52 mm big bore in it and air filter modification. Great power and dependable saw for a small property owner/woodcutter.

Thanks Tinman I’m learning a lot

Nice clarification. The Duke's Saw Salvage can send the XT full wrap around forty bucks US.

Thanks Tinman , I'm a new sub from Michigan and found your channel through Buckin and hopefully get the time to try some mods on my own firewood saws

The 365 special is hands down better imo. Great great saws
