Stihl 015L

[1hander]

it depends on the year of production, there are 2 sidebar plates i think may have only come on the quickstop version ..
and they are damn hard to find..
the earlier non quickstop versions did not come with chain guards ..
you can tell this by the fact that the sidecovers on the earlier versions are chewed up from chains being too loose and eating them away where the chain is puled into the saw

yes that is the correct part number for the outside one

Thanks for the help, i'm going to check with Fastenal Monday to see if they have the M5-0.8 x 95 internal hex bolts.

The easiest thing is to modify a t handle screwdriver tool... Gfinf the tip down to make it wider so it grabs the screw properly..

OK, I got the saw back together and rebuilt the carb and the saw runs great and even oils good. Now I need some help on which new 1/4 chain fits it. I think it is a 16in bar. The bar is a stihl bar. How do I measure the bar?

WOOOHOOOO
glad to hear it brother..
for 015 its stihl small mount...be sure not to confuse the medium mount with it.. i screwed up and bought what i thought was the large for my 08 but it was the medium mount..
stihl used to make large 14.1mm mount.. but i think it went away and the medium mount took its place so it just medium and small

but if you do a search on ebay for 015 bar or 015 guide bar youll get quite a few results...
also keep in mind that some of those bars if new will be 3/8 picco so keep an eye out for that and make sure youre
getting 1/4 bar

or if you want you can convert quite easily to 3/8 picco bar and chain by swapping in a 3/8 oiler gear //3/8 clutch drum and 3/8 bar and chain
the 3/8 cuts much bettr in my opinion.than 1/4 or at least it did for me.. but then again the 1/4 chain was damn near worn out.
these are to give you an idea, i use only stihl parts when i can find them, the 3/8 oiler gear will have to be non stihl
but the clutch drum you can put in the part number and it should come up on ebay.
you can reuse your clutch drum needle baearing.

More info
Chain has 81 teeth, clutch has 8 teeth, stihl bar has 4.79 on it and 000 C413 written on it. From inside the slot on the bar to the end is 15.5 in. The bar is in good shape. Just need a chain I think. Don't want to have to change the clutch, oiler gear, etc if I can find a chain.

Also has # 25 on the part of chain that fits in the bar.

Here is Stihl's catalog, it may help.

Here is a chart of Oregon's chains, the 25 is at the top.

The main reason that I converted to 3/8 picco on my 015 because of the availability of the 1/4 stuff... It seems to be a little harder to find than 3/8 picco

I think you meant it has 80 Drive links not actual teeth if it had 80 actual cutting teeth that would be a monster chain but if by teeth you're referring to the drive links the ones on the inside of the chain then yes you have a 16 inch bar
1/4. 050

[haroldpo6]

Yea, it has 81 drive links. i'm thinking maybe a 80 drive links will work since the bar is adjusted all the way out.

I believe you're right sir
