chain

What are the chances we ever see the Husqvarna X-Cut chain come out in Skip-tooth? I have come to really like the standard X-Cut chain and was kind of bummed when I just went to order some new Skip tooth chain and realized that they don't make an X-Cut skip tooth version.

Heya folks, Got this used ms250 up and running, but still can’t get it in good working condition. Bought it a new bar and chain and using stihl oil to rule out those variables. I’m certain my chain isn’t too tight as I can pull it up enough to reveal the drive link. The chain, however, feels...

Hi guys, I was going to make some comments on existing threads, but i thought I'd start my own here. Before I do though, I want to shout out to @Gaudaost and @trains for their help either through posting their own learnings or through directly helping me to understand things more. A few...

(I hope this will let me post some pics. I'm a new poster, so maybe not.) I used this model (MS-391) for years when I worked in maintenance at a local college. I grew to love it. I just bought a new one for myself. I had to travel out of town to get this model because my local dealer had it on...

Hi, I had bought an electric sharpener at first and then realised that I needed to change the disk as it was too small for my chains (I didn't know about chain characteristics at first), so I stopped using it and just got a some files and holders to do them by hand which I have some success...

Hi, My current bar and chain are knackered so I am getting a new set. It was a second hand machine with an Oregon 18" bar and .325 chain on it. The standard route would be a Stihl rollomatic 18" 74DL with a Stihl .325 RS chain. This is factory settings so to speak. I run a small property...

I have a 42” Oregon powermatch 3/8x.063 bar with a woodlandpro 42” .375x.063 ripping chain. Would that combination work? I ran it on a stihl 066 and it seemed to cut ok until I hit a hidden nail in the bark. Just want to make sure that’s the right chain for that bar so I don’t prematurely wear...

I have a 25" large mount (3002) bar and chain in like new condition. I purchased this thinking it would fit my MS660 and apparently I was wrong... I do have an 880 that I could put it on but I already have a 47" and 30" bar for the 880 and don't really need another smaller bar for this saw. The...

Long time reader, and student of the arborist site, and normally find my answers already posted, but I searched for this one and couldn't find a clue, so here goes. I have a 261 with the standard sprocket and a 20" green bar. standard 325 chain. I need to replace a couple chains that are a few...

Hi everyone, have a bar with no markings relating to how many links should be in the chain. It is a 38cm bar .43 gauge, and is supposed to be off a Makita EA4300. Does anyone know the link count for this outfit, in 3/8 LoPro pitch. Thanks

Pictures: https://ibb.co/2dmZQnV https://ibb.co/9syvqcc https://ibb.co/1nc9DMz Hello- I'm very new to working on chainsaws, and just use it for home use. Chopping down trees, bucking them up, etc. My dad gave me this saw rebuilt for christmas a couple years ago and it's time for a new chain...

Hello, Stihl MS291 has me baffled. This is the chain: STIHL 3689 005 0081 Oilomatic 26 RM3 81. I have sharpened countless chainsaws in my life using nothing but a file and I have never had a problem until I purchased this saw. I am doing everything right. I am holding a 3/16 file at a 30 degree...

I have a JD CS56 that runs like a dream, is strong and very reliable, despite my novice knowledge of maintenance and lack of upkeep... Only thing ive done in the three seasons ive owned it is put a primer bulb on it and keep oil/fuel in it. Cranks on first pull and runs like a top every time...

Holzfforma G388 Blue Thunder, will cut with it soon. seems to not have some of the quirks the kit had like the cowl side screw behind the handle.

I've been searching for info but coming up pretty dry so far, so I figured I'd ask. I just got an Echo CS 490 off eBay on a whim. I have a 372XT for bigger stuff and wanted a saw I could tinker with and use for odds and ends stuff. It comes with a 20" bar which is bigger than what I'm wanting...

Just got my Huztl order and I found an interesting surprise. The chain that came with the 36" 070 bar is a stihl, 404, chisel bit, full comp chain. It came in a stihl chain box, the chain is stamped stihl and the drivers have the grooves to carry the oil. The grind on the chain looks excellent...

FREE!!!! Echo CS-6700 parts saw. Things I know are wrong with it are bad piston, but cylinder is still ok. Also not getting spark. See pictures for detail, or ask questions, I'll try my best to answer. JUST pay to be shipped from 30205.

Hi all at AS, Was going through some joiners (Oregon) today,they seem to be for 3/8 but they were too big to fit my stihl chain. They are not .404. I may have read a while back that some Oregon joiners only fit Oregon chain,is this correct? I think these maybe fairly old joiners,not the latest...

Hi! We have a very tight chain around a tree (from a hammock). The bark still looks intact though (lot of pressure on it but not cut). We are worried about the chain whipping back at us if we cut it (it is under extreme tension). Any suggested strategies for removing it? Thank you.
