Husky 562XP short block update question

Sprinter · April 30, 2021, 09:59:21 PM

I am considering a new short block for my old (2012) 562XP.
As there are a few extra parts needed to make it happen, I am hoping there is a kit available.
I know I will need a new clutch, oil pump, worm-gear. The update mentions of screws required
If so, a part number would be most helpful. Hello Spike60. ;D
If not an itemized list of required parts would be super.
We all dislike finding out about the missing part at the last moment

There are some additional changes/improvements that arrived along with the new short block assembly, but they are not required for your project. The short block is fully exchangeable. If you wanted to upgrade to the new larger diameter oil pump, there is a kit for that; 598 937 704. It includes the pump, drum and gear. Backordered til June at the moment. :

Other than the hardware all now being torx on the short block, there isn't anything to worry about there.

Spike60, I'm having trouble with that part number. Or rather Google does, it returns lawnmower parts.
