Only thing is there is a difference between a095 and k095. Oregon have different profiles for each

Here's another Oregon "A" mount reference. I don't know if the images are to all to the same scale.

So based on that image and the other ones, IF you can get the tail cut off an a oil hole drilled, they'll be ready to rock and roll Y/N

Got the bars delivered, just am nowhere near my saw to confirm, but am hopeful if not fitting won't be too far out. Interesting to see the different bar runs for what is supposed to be the same bar. All same shape, but oil hole diameters differ as do a number of the bar markings, shade of paint, and if the top of the rails are painted or just lucky to get some overspray. The riveting also looks to be inconsistent between different bars.

Same with the nose markings: 3 different codes, I'm told by GB are all 3/8LP just different date markings, although I swear one of the nose designs has slightly fatter sprocket tips than the other two - might just be my eyesight. Some noses are missing a fourth rivet - have the hole for it.

If anyone could use a 16" picco bar, sing out - I got way more than I need.

ah ha hit by lighting,,, this must been some months ago see the tell tale bark streak lines and this fuses up the internal vascular system so it lived ok while cool winter but 1st hot days showed its hand the limb dies off ...its a massive pine 6 foot+ dia trunk 80 foot high easy picture don't show the scale of the beast

So I went on a road trip and picked up this lump of iron... poor old engine has been sitting in half a shed all its life and has not run for around 40 years. Quite a lot of TLC required but hopefully she'll run again.

This one is a 6hp at 650rpm. Diesel but will run on anything from cooking oil to used engine oil.

No worries Peter, first I need to get the piston unstuck. Hopefully its not rusted in to solid. Then I'll have half a chance of getting her going again.
