I loaned my Stihl 029 Super to a neighbor. He returned it in pretty poor shape. It looks like he was cutting roots. The chain is extremely dull and the saw seems to run poorly. I replaced the chain as sharpening would have taken hours.
The problem is the sprocket that turns the chain seems tight. I assume it was run dry for a time without bar oil. I disassembled the saw and noticed the bearing was missing a few cylinders. I will get this replaced. I have loosened things up, cleaned them up, oiled them but my problem is I am having difficulty putting the sprocket housing back on. I realize there is a notch and pin that have to be aligned, but I still have been unsuccessful in putting it back together. Any suggestions.
