Replacing MS 261 chain and bar

[pigpen29]

replacing my older ms-261 18” bar and chains. Was looking at Oregon bars and chains as good enough but wasn’t sure if I could just replace those or if I needed to replace the sprocket as well. It seems as all the Oregon stuff is 8 sprockets can 7... Anyone able to assist?

I mostly just do farm and home work, definitely gets in wood that is dirty etc.

Couldn’t seem to find anything on amazon that fit the bill.

Does anyone have a recommended site to buy from?

If your bar is worn out, your drive sprocket most likely is as well. You should be able to find a 7 tooth just as easy as an 8. An 8 tooth will make the chain run faster but not necessarily cut wood any faster. I think the 261 takes a D025 Oregon mount bar.
