Bar Lugs - One vs Two

[leeave96]

I posted earlier about a Husky 445 I was considering and noticed it only has one bar lug/nut. I guess there may be 2 lugs, but only one nut holding the cover on and the bar/chain in place. I think I've seen this set-up on a smaller Dolmar saw too.

Is this something to avoid or not something to be concerned about?

Thanks,
Bill

Its not a problem on small displacement, low powered saws. The Dolmar/Makita 401s, Stihl MS200, Husky 238/242/246 are all single bar nut saws.

Small Poulans from the late '70's on all came that way. Do avoid the tool less variety.

My power Mac has one lug and two screw's holding the bar on.
