mufflers on husky 350\'s

The company I work for deals mostly with Husqvarna saws. We are having trouble with the mufflers falling off of the 350/353 series. Have tried different things to remount (everything besides j-b weld). Just wondering if anybody had ideas on fixes or maybe a different (but same size- range)saw made by husky.

Try Loctite 242 threadlocker. Apply it on the muffler screw threads, then screw them in and let dry overnite.
OR
Purchase a 346XP Husky. It's a screamer.

Did you try lock washers?

Husky 346,357, or 359 would be my recommendation.

Tried loctite and lock washers, nothing worked, even tried lock-nuts. 346XP sounds like a good fix. Thanks for the help.

If you switch to hex head bolts you might be able to join the two bolt heads with a flat piece of metal then bend the edges to keep them from turning.
