I've been looking into changing my 450 Rancher 0.325" set-up to run 3/8" chains. This is the only saw I have running at this pitch, making my stacks of new chains collect dust (not sawdust).
I have many new 3/8 bars already, I'm looking for suggestions on clutch and sprocket.
Hello homeowner helpers who know what they're talking about!
I have 5 (five) new Husky 120i saws I bought for $200 to get more of the crappy BLi22 batteries that my various light-duty yard maintenance tools eat. The batteries are $189 new from Husqvarna and the complete 120i bundle (saw, bar...
A nice little homelite 245 followed me home today. Runs fine, but the chain was toast. So I get it on the bench and start tearing it down, I find it's got a .325 bar nose, and an 8 pin. This seems insane to me on a 40cc saw. It's a homelite bar and what I think is a homelite number stamped in...
Got this new Gb titanium bar very heavy 44" for milling on my 395xp so I had to swap out my 3/8 sprocket for a 404 and now I can only pull the starter rope out when the chain break is off won't budge an inch with it on and even when it's off and I can get a good pull it's not really wanting to...

I've recently acquired 2 NOS (one still has the dealer decal on it) Remington bars but they don't have tips on them. I am looking for a roller tip for these bars. I believe they need the 2.5" diameter roller.
Here is a photo of the slot in the end of the bar:
The roller tip doesn't have to be...

I recently picked up a Stihl ms290 from an old man. Saw is in great shape. Anyways.. he had a 16” bar with 3/8 chain. I wanted to go bigger. But before I did that I wanted to switch to .325 chain. Went to my local stihl dealer. Asked for a .325-7t sprocket to match my larger bar. He had one...
Hi from the UK! I have just been gifted 5 acres of mixed woodland (mostly hazel and ash) that has been regularly coppiced for over 20 years. I currently have a Husky 254xp running a 15" guide bar (cutting length). To enable me to get my chainsaw guide bar comfortably between the poles for...
I have an Oregon 3/8 7T rim and sprocket that fits a Stihl 042 or a 048. The replacement rim is a Oregon 68210. I will not be able to use it, the insert that comes in the box is misleading. I contacted Oregon and they said it was an Canadian part number that is now obsolete and was given the...
Anyone happen to know which nose sprockets fit other brand bars. For example does Windsor and other 3 rivet noses fit stihl or other brands. How about single rivet brands?
Tested on a newer Stihl MS 660 with a 25" bar
There is chainsaw fanatic in Portland OR that sells alot of Hot Saws on Ebay, he knows his stuff better than anyone I know, he recommends going to a bigger sprocket rather then increasing HP, so I had to try it.
I ended up going back to a 7 tooth...
so I have a craftsman 3.7 that came with what I think is called a "rim sprocket" drum. I found replacements that are the regular sprocket drum. Is there a difference or people preffer one over the other? I may have the name incorrect, please correct me if wrong, thanks!
