Ok I know someone has surly said this bf but here is my 2cents.after looking for a bar for older homeis over 36" and no luck I went to my chainsaw repairmans shop and he let me go through all his bar and I just started putting my 24" oregon bar up to everone he had and found one that matched perfect no mods needed husky large mount bar match up to older homies perfect.so I ordered a 42" for my 650 and runs great.sure this somthing everyone allready knows but o well is was so happy it worked I had to tell.

I havnt took a picture of it yet, ill try to get one soon :msp_biggrin: I love how loud it is! for the most part it will be a
back up saw, but i plan to clean it with a tooth brush and repaint it sometime :msp_biggrin:, it set for 30 years, i put a fuel line on it and messed with the carb adjustments and it ran like a top! the guy I got it from had it in a climate controled garage.

That awsome man those older saws where made to last for sure that's about the same story with most my old saws but ifound them in old barns and you couldn't even tell what they where cleaned them up gas lines and pow they ran like they where never put away.does urs have the stack muffler on it those things r the sht but will rattle ur brain if not u need to get on for it

in my other muffler, but havent figured out how to keep it on, it was wired on the XL

That is not the same mount. You will be wasting your money. The C-51 takes the FO14 mount
