I'd like to put a 14" bar on my Poulan Pro 4218, but can't find what type of bar or number of links is needed. My current bar is 18" with 91vg 62 link chain. I want to keep using the same type of chain. Thanks in advance for any help.

I think you can look on the oregon website. There you can referance your brand of saw to the desired bar and chain.
Or, see your local dealer. I'm sure they can help.
Otherwise, stay tuned. Someone will give you help on AS
Good Luck

Thanks. I tried the Oregon website earlier but for the 18" bar it told me to use a 66 link 72v for the 18" bar, when the saw came with a 62 link 91vg. Aren't link #'s supposed to be constant for a given brand/length of bar or do they change with chain type? I like the 91vg chain.

Take another look at the Oregon selector guide. This is a Poulan 4218 14"
Why do you need low kick back. Its just a safety chain with extra ramps to help reduce the chance of kick back. You really dont need it IMO. But you know better then me, your needs.
If you lived closer I would give you a used 14" and a non safety chain to try out. Just hanging around without usage.

wysiwyg , the 66 dl bar that uses 72 chain is a larger (more circumference)18" bar . Does your 4218 have a hole in the front of the bar cover to adapt to a bar adjust screw ?wysiwyg said:
good catch scott, i forgot all about the intenz bar on the new stuff. Is your INTENZ type bar wy? If so and you dont have the side cover adjustment and no hole for the adjuster screw of the earlier models. You just cut out some choices.
I figured out the Oregon selector right after I posted my original message. I was using the "consumer" option, when I should have been using the "professional" option. Doh!
I've been using low kickback for the 8 years I've owned a saw, it's worked well for me.

It definitely needs 91vg. The 72v was an error because I used the wrong selector on the oregon website. The consumer selector only had "4200", which was the wrong saw (I didn't know that). The professional selector has "4218", which gave the correct part numbers.
Bar adjustment screw
wysiwyg , I looked up the IPL for the 4218 and it does not show a bar adjust screw , is it on the bar cover ?wysiwyg said:
