Hi There.

No I don't need it but I do have several saws that use .325 chain and I don't mind the Intenz thing. The 2800/2900/295 usually don't have an adjuster on the clutch cover hence the Intenz adjustment. I would be happy to cover the postage.

Once the new adjuster, bar and chain show up I will let you know. I definately won't need it.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. We were worried about you when you were thinking sell.

I call it stock rotation.

The 330 I acquired recently has the goofy bar with the built in adjuster. I went ahead and ordered the adjuster to switch it over. Was thinking of getting a new bar. I was wondering if this saw would pull a 3/8 20" bar. That way it can match the 3500. If it'll be a mouth full for it I will go a different route. What do you guys think?

FWIW, I have a 335 that came with a 20", 3/8". I never used it. I've a few 026 killers, I mean 3000's, that came with 16", 18" and 20", 0.325". Regardless, 335 or 3000, I do prefer the balance, smoothness and cutting speed with the 16", 0.325". The AV feels stiffer with the shorter bar as well.

This setup cuts like an $800 saw. Fast and convincing.

I've got a craftsman 3.0 with 18" bar on my to do list. Needs fuel lines, carb kit and air cleaner. That one will be fun to run against my 026's!

Mine isnt that nice. But dang with 16" 325 LPX on this 3.3 335 predator style impressed the heck out of me I went and bought another to have spares.

After owning both. 026 and 3.0 3000 305 I wont own a 026 anymore. stihls are for selling.

Agree. Have a 260 and my 3000 outcuts it easily

What would a 24" small mount Husgvarna bar be a good fit on?

Not a Poulan, but I am just throwing it out there.

I can only speak from a recent, single experiement. A Homelite XL-76/130/123 will pull them. Full house. Buried in Doug Fir. No problem. "https://www.youtube.com/embed/8bU1fJ0LWsY"

I sold one to a guy with dolmar 6800 also 6000. It was a good match. I ran the saw with the 24" in ash buried.

 

[rocketnorton]

one thing I like bout the 026... ya, it was a 024.

Never seen that set up and yes that is cool to be able to have that option.

@rocketnorton can we peek inside the clutch cover ?

455 should look good next to
the 655 Bp I hope to fill the gap between with 475 & 505

 

[Acornhill]

The gap would be a 525

I need that one to but are the 505 & 525 same cc
only seen one 525 on ebay ever

The Poulan Pioneers are the 405 (65cc), 455 (72 cc), 525 ( 82cc) and 655 (98cc).

The 505 is 82cc, which is, I think, is a Partner design, and similar to a Jonsered 2083. It's the same size as the 525.
