I’ve been inundated with bars and chains this spring. Unfortunately most of the bars and chains don’t fit each other!!!
It started off when my local fleet supply decided to clearance out their line of Trilink products. I bought several loops of chain to fit the bars I had (full 3/8 was selling for 6-8 bucks a loop). I also bought a couple of bars that I might need in common patterns like large Stihl (to use with bar adaptors) and large Husky.
Then I found a pile of bars that a fellow AS’er had given me several years ago and had been lost in my garage. Wholah! Determined that they were mostly small mount Husky in .325/.058 which I don’t often use and large mount Husky in 3/8 .058. Only problem being I don’t have any large mount Husky saws at the moment!
Then I was at the transfer station and scrounged nearly a dozen more useable chains although only one of them fit any of my saws.
Last week my friend dropped off another large mount Husky bar and 9 chains in 3/8 .058! I think I now have 12 or 13 60 DL chains in .058.
Since used bars and chains seem to have nearly no resale value these days, I think I’ll scrounge up a couple of small mount 3/8 .058 bars and start running through these chains!! And I’ll save the rest for when I eventually scrounge saws that can use them.
