bar and chain

Hi, I have a 24” and 36” bar that I received when buying a used 3120XP. I think both are Husqvarna (the 36” came in a Husqvarna cardboard sheath), but neither has a company logo or any naming on the bar itself. The 24” bar had a chain already on it, wrapped in plastic. I’d like to understand...

Looking for some assistance in narrowing down some details on the saw I've recently purchased. The saw runs great and I believe the seller is an AS member as well. He is a small engine mechanic and got this saw in good running order. Hoping to use the saw a little, but mostly have some garage...

Can you run 3/8 .50 chain on a 3/8 .63 bar? Would the chain be loose because its not thick enough

[top-handles only I mean!] After getting a couple new powerheads and swapping-around some bars I'm left uncertain between a 15.25 or an 18" on my biggest saw....also have gone from 12" to 10" on my 'pocket rocket' tiny saw and love it, probably 5 real uses with it at 10" and I never found myself...

I have a 25" large mount (3002) bar and chain in like new condition. I purchased this thinking it would fit my MS660 and apparently I was wrong... I do have an 880 that I could put it on but I already have a 47" and 30" bar for the 880 and don't really need another smaller bar for this saw. The...

After looking at the many guide bars that have been made from the early 1900s to today. Ive started to wonder about the varying profiles or silhouettes of guide bars. The early ones seem to be much taller, when viewing them mounted on the saw. The radius of the tips were much bigger. Some...

Hello, just created my account. Decided to come down from lurking in the woods to the warm and tidy campfire that is arboristsite. I just recently purchased a nonrunning Homelite C-51 convertable drive for $10. The two main problems with it are it has no spark, and the 20" windsor bar was...

Hey all, I have an old Stihl 025 that I rebuilt and put a chinese engine into. The thing runs great. I absolutely love it and it is my go to saw. To be honest, my stihl ms660 sort of just sits there now until i really need to cut something big. So, I bought an .050 bar&chain combo from...

Just bought a Oregon micro lite bar and chain, can someone shed some light and give me info on this chain and bar

Hey folks i want to put a new bar on my 550 xp . 18" What do you guys recomend and i can get in Canada? Thanks .

OK I have read a lot of threads on here about the echo CS-590. It has the 20" bar pitch is 3/8, gauge is .050, 70DL I live in an area where the shops and stores don't really stock that size in full chisel, and when I in a jam I can't even find a regular 70dl on the shelf around these parts. I...

Hey All, I'm hoping to get some advice here on how to properly chap the bar. Got a demo a while back but I can't find a YouTube video on this. Is it not necessarily the "best practice"?? I'm hoping somebody has a link to a video or some photos of how to correctly order the steps. I got it...

Have a few 42" bars to sell as I am consolidating bar sizes. First is a Oregon Power match 42" 3/8 pitch .063 for a large mount husky. I used it a few times on my 395xp. Comes with a chain that's in good shape. Full skip full chisel Oregon. Looking to get 100 plus shipping. Second bar is a...

Hi Arboristsite! I've had my Stihl MS 241 C-M for aprox. 6-8 months now. I run with both a 14" and 18" bar. After I had my 18" bar for a couple of months my saw started bugging out whenever I used it. The saw gets really shaky and 'lagging' and the chain almost constantly jumps off. It doesn't...

Just picked up a Poulan Pro PP5020AV on Craigslist... first mistake. It was only 55$ and with a retail of around 200$ I thought, SCORE! Well, the saw didn't want to turn on the bar. (I fired it up when I bought it, but didn't want to look like a craigslist killer and start revving it up in the...
