My old Husqvarna 372XP finally threw a rod yesterday

I was doing a takedown on a big silver maple in Toledo and it just locked up with a nasty grinding sound. Had to finish the job with my backup saw, a Stihl MS261, which felt like using a toy after the 372. Anyone have a good source for a full rebuild kit that won't cost more than the saw is worth?

Oh man, that's rough. I rebuilt my 372 a couple years back after similar carnage. I had good luck with a Meteor piston kit from HL Supply, and the crank was still okay. Whole thing ran me about $150 in parts.

Meteor kits are decent but I've seen a few fail early. That price seems low, did that include a new cylinder too?
