Echo CS490/CS500

[Shrps74]

I'm pretty good with a rat tail file...but, just wondering if the cs490 and cs500 both use the same chain (18" bar). I was in Lowes yesterday and the Oregon chain/bar catalog lists the 500, but doesn't show anything for the cs490...anyone know?? Thanks Shrps74

From the factory they are both set up with .325 chain, so yes, same chain will work with both providing both are same bar length.

Thanks...I knew they were both .325, but wasn't sure if the sprocket on the 500 was a tad different....again.. THANKS!
