Thanks Phil. The bars I bought are Forester by AEI They are not Hard nosed .063 .325 sprocket so i'm afraid thats out, Great thought!. Why so many choices in drive width on 3/8? I suppose there is a best use situation for all the different thickness's. would there be any disadvantage using 3/8...

Great info Saw Troll. And Phil thanks for checking. I have everything I need now to make this work. I just got the drum and rim setup for 3/8 and then A 9 pin rim in .325 the 3/8 rim will be put aside for now. AS I just purchased 3 new bars in .325 and some new chains about a month ago.:newbie...

Most excellent, that is exactly what I needed. Thanks a bunch Sub hunter and to all who helped me out. Shawn

Thank you Phil, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks Phil. my concern is that a sprocket to fit that unit in .325 is not available. Does any one know which sprockets are interchangeable. I have no idea if they are universal or where the sizes change? I can get a sprocket for my 290 or my 260 pro but will either fit on the drum unit for an...

Thanks Gary, I have never used 3/8 so I didn"t know What I was missing. I will make the change for all my saws but im afraid it won't be for A while.I just bought 3 new bars and A bunch of new chains in .325 aargg. bad timing.

Thanks for the help guys. Changing everything over to 3/8 is something I did consider. I just thought I would wait to do that until my stock pile of .325 stuff was close to being used up. Saw troll I don't suppose you could elaborate on the drum and rim set up. I believe you are talking about...

I just split them in half and blow out each side with LOW PRESSURE AIR with a blow nozzle off the air compressor. I am no expert but fines inside the filter {between the halves} to me means fines getting into the engine so if I see that the filter gets trashed. As far as how often. Every saw is...

Hey guys, I just picked up an 038 AV and no its not A super or A mag or a mag2. It has A 3/8 drive sprocket on it now. All my other saws are set up to run with .325 .063 gauge bars and chains. I can't seem to find A drive sprocket in .325 for an 038 AV. does any one now if one is available or...

I already have a 24 inch that runs .325 .063 gauge That I use very seldom on my MS290. Slow going but gets the job done. We are firewood cutters and don't run into to many big trees anymore that cant be handled with A twenty inch bar. I would like to put my 24 bar on the 038 but I can not find...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Im afraid it is just a plain old 038 though I wish it was A super or A mag. I plan on going with 3/8 since that is the drive sprocket on it now. It is seldom going to see use so I am not looking for the ideal length. Just trying to get A feel for the max length...

Hey guys, I just picked up an older 038 for $130.00. Its in decent shape and runs great. It's got A 20" on it now and really goes to town. I don't plan on using it much. Just for big stuff. So I was looking to get an idea from you guys on how much bar I can run with it. I was thinking it would...

Hi guys, I have an older wood boss 028 AV. This saw has been my go to saw for many years, It has been great to me. I have always struggled with air filters clogging. I do have the fleece filters. The old cork or whatever it was filter met the trash can many years ago. My solution has always been...

Hey guys, I have an older 028 wood boss AV. This has been my main saw for years. It has been great to me. One constant battle I have always had is the air filter clogging up rapidly. I do have the fleece filters. The old cork or whatever it was filter was tossed many years ago. This saw has...
