Yes get them from dave there rings that go on studs to take up space

Test fit bar and chain it may need different drive link than normal

He doesn't have an 880 bar though. He just needs a .404 3003 mount bar and .404 drive sprocket

@redbull660
Do you have any .404 tips for your tsumuras?

This bar should fit without an adapter. It is one of my favorite setups on an 82cc MAC. It should be great on your saw.

1. need a 404 rim sprocket
2. need a 404 chain
3. if you have a 25" bar right now that fits your saw and it's .063, then all you need is to change the nose/tip with a .404 tip.

That said, if you want to go just a little larger (6 drive links, 25" = 77dl, 28" = 83dl) I can hook you up with a tsumura lite bar in 404, rim sprocket and chain. Currently my distributor doesn't carry 24" 063 tsumura lite so I have to go to 28". But I think 28" balances better on 660 661 size saw anyway and it's only 6dl. PM me if interested.

If you’re in RI, you should try to make the Connecticut GTG this spring.

.404 (especially in semi-chisel IMHO) is a thing of beauty. I run a 36 404 with an 8 pin on my Mopar ported 395. With semichisel I cut dirty wood for 2 days straight without a sharpening. Cut around 8 cords and the chain is still sharp. A bit slower, but faster when you remove the time wasted sharpening. I won’t ever go back to 3/8 on my big saws.

I agree 404 lasts longer but I'd love to get drf255 over here in Australia and see him cut for 2 days without sharpening.
Many times I have not completed a single cut through fairly hollow Ironbark without needing to sharpen.
I'm not having a go at drf255, I have no doubt he has done what he stated, I just always have a bit of a chuckle to myself when I hear how long you guys get out of a chain.
It's amazing how different we have it all doing something similar.
But back on topic yes for big work saws 404 is the go, for a play saw don't bother.

Go Skip tooth chain .. keeps the revs and don't bind as much .. even less sharpening
