SawGarage??

[Real1shepherd]

Does anyone know if member 'SawGarage' is still around?
Since the site was hacked, I get no PM response from him. He has a bucket full of NOS .404 sprocket tips for all these old, defunct Oregon bars I have with the three rivet, half moon pattern. I was all set to get a bunchl of them from him and the site crashed.

Without those tips, these great old bars are worthless.

I have a few of those NOS 3 rivit tips in 404 that I have been saving to have some custom bars made and the guy wants those style tips. What bars were you needing them for?

Jay's a busy man. I hear from him occasionally.

They're all Oregon bars from the late 70's and range in size from 28-36"...three rivet, half-moon style. The 36" is .063 gauge....all the rest are .058 gauge...all .404. You're sayin' you have some .404 tips? I never would have bought all those bars if I had any inkling Oregon would drop them outa production.

Mine are .63gauge. I am going to have some 60"-96" bars made at some point. About half the cost of a new Cannon.

 

[Real1shepherd]

Couldn't you fab those bar tips, Kevin? I don't have a dog in, but it don't sound undo able.

From what..scratch? There's not anything like them...I supposed a machinist could, but it's beyond my expertise. Especially when somebody has a whole bucket of them, NOS.

LOL....I was just looking at Cannon bars. I wouldn't mind these days a 42" or 44" for my Husky 2100. When I was younger and in Second Growth Doug Fir, we used 72" Cannons all the time.

Well shepherd, if you need one in .63 let me know. They aint cheap as I paid like $35 each for the ones I got a year ago.

 

[Real1shepherd]

I don't care what you do.

I wasn't being sarcastic, just asking; "from scratch"? Because I don't know how you'd modify anything else out there?

Thanks.....I'll keep it in mind.

I doubt you could make those tips easily. The guy at Chainsaw Bar & Repair willncostom.makena bar, but needs the three rivit tips as he can't make them.to use the Oregon or Windsor tips apparently.

 

[Mr.Moose]

Ill send Jay a text and let him know hes wanted!
