How to Repair the Husqvarna Chainsaw Plastic Crankcase

The Husqvarna chainsaw is a heavy-duty chainsaw that is manufactured by one of the leading names in commercial and residential lawn equipment. The crankcase cover on your Husqvarna chainsaw, which is made of durable plastic, covers the recoil pull start on your chainsaw. Although the plastic is sturdy, cracks in the crankcase cover can occur. If this happens, the cover should be replaced. Replacement plastic crankcasing can be ordered from the manufacturer and installed fairly easily.
