Hey All,
Just an average land owner that cuts maybe a half dozen times a year clearing trails and blow downs on 20 acres 60 miles from home. Pretty happy with my saw for my needs. Couple of questions. Looking for 18" bars and chains. Numbers from website is 3005 008 4717 bar and 3634 005 0068 chain. Found a few on eBay. Did notice a bar {right number} chain package but the chain number is 3689 005 0068. That chain is not listed on Stihl site for my saw. And there seems to be a lot more available with that number. Can anyone enlighten me? Other question is I'm contemplation a back up saw in case I get one stuck or mine does not start after traveling 60 miles. pretty happy with Stihl so I'm thinking maybe a 271 or 291 with 16" bar. Probably big enough for the majority of my cutting. And last, anyone have a parts diagram? Thanks so much for your time
