Having trouble finding a 20" replacment bar for Chinese saw

[ericfx1984]

I'm really having a lot of trouble finding a replacement 20-in bar for a Chinese.

The chain is 20", 0.325, lp 0.58 gauge, 76dl

Would it make more sense to upgrade to a different bar and chain all together? I need to replace my sprocket at this point as well so it doesn't seem like it would be a terrible idea to just go ahead and change everything out?

good luck finding parts for it , designed to be used for 50 hours and then throw the whole saw away.

You could post a profile pic of the tail section and mount.

I believe that most of these saws use a K095 bar mount.

If you want to go upmarket an Oregon 208SLGK095 bar should work, along with a chain that is the size you mention.

You will find a lot of cheaper Chinese bars on eBay that will fit.

Looks like an Oregon universal mount. Look up Oregon bar mount charts and get the measurements to match up a known mount you can get online or local. Nothing special about that bar you have there.

Watch your chain pitch and gauge. Switch to 050 gauge to buy chains much more common to most places and chainsaws in general.

Looks a lot like a D176 mount.

So if I I stayed with a 0.325 pitch but went up to a 0.050 Gage, I would stay with 76 drive links, keep my existing 325-7 chain sprocket and upgrade to a bar that would accommodate the 0.050 gauge chain thickness? Correct?

It seems like there's less I'd have to figure out

Would it make sense to go to a 3/8 chain with appropriate sprocket I've had no trouble finding the sprockets

I’d stick with .325, 3/8 chain cuts a wider kerf than .325 pitch. In other words it’s a more aggressive chain, best suited for 60cc or bigger saws.

Think most of them actually use an A041 mount as the match the poulan bars I have.

That saw needs some degreaser and a scrubbing holy.

So 325, .050, 76dl?

It doesn't take long to clean it up.. just a quick blow off with the air compressor

 

[ericfx1984]

I'm just trying to make sure I understand this correctly if my current chain is 325, .058, 76dl... And I decide to go to a 050 gauge, wouldn't I just buy a 20-in bar , and 325, .050, 76dl chain?

You need a bar that fits the saw in .325 pitch .050 gauge.
One of these should work

Yes. And matching bar of course.

This saw takes the same .325 bar/chain as a husky 50cc saw like a rancher 50, rancher 55, 450, 346, etc.
The chinese bars are a little under 20 inch, most 20 inch .325 bars are 78 drive links.
I run a 15 inch oregon bar/chain on mine. It's the most common size locally for me, I can get a chain at the corner store.
