[RVALUE]

Waiting on a 298, man I would be like a kid at Christmas, nice saw! 70fly, sweet arsenal!! I do agree Cary, some stuff on the huskies, well maybe overall easier. And I agree too yep does make sense your comfortable with what you know, or grew up with. Anyone here making adapters, for 2100's for k&n filters??

I made one.

Correction:

I made one for a Briggs and Stratton filter.

Stumpy put a K & N filter on it.




Carry on.

I'm going to try turning out one here soon on the lathe, I've got two aluminum new never used ones a few weeks ago, one for 2100-2101 type and one for a Sthil I think, Stihl looking into that one its got offset holes for mounting.

Whats kinda funny is with the 2100CD -01XP all the mods. the timber cutters in these parts ever did was intake, and never anything to the mufflers, other then getting bumped and smashed and rusting the way they do here

So, I am on page 76 of this thread. By page 40-45 I bought a 2100cd powerhead. I will have pics soon.

I have asked several and searched a bit online. I have Stihl ES bars and chains (20", 25", 28", 36" 3/8 050). I have seen pics of guys running Stihl bars on these 2100cd's. I have been told the adapter plate will only work on "newer" large mount Husqvarna saws. Do you have to change the bar studs out?

Thanks.

Mike

Dan, and Cary love the run down as I will need adapters. The only flaw on the 1100-2101 I think was the stock air filter. Mike the adapter yes you need, bar studs stay the same, but as Mike=MDAVLEE explained to me when we first used adapters, is the bar slot needs to lenghthened, and cut for husky.

Just a couple gratuitous pics from today. Had the 2100 out for a couple chunks of the blow-down in my yard from Hurricane Sandy.

Hi Norm! Told ya I'd show up

Funny. Mike (MDavlee) is one of the guys I PM'ed before I posted here. He has helped me out before. He hasn't got back to me yet.

1. Buy adapter
2. grind out the slot. I found a post by Mike saying about the adapters: "They work with a little bit of grinding on the adapter. It will fit but only the one stud will be in the slot on it. You have to grind or file out a bit where the little hole is that you can use the bar plate screw to hold it on the huskies".

So the slot that needs grinding is on the actual adapter right?

Good to see you Scott, love the 2100 halloween edition! Dam that orange looks good! Aaron I know I was thinking hey what could we trade him????? Mike I have a good idea how to do it, but never actually have. Best to Wait for the other Mike, who is an expert, but I know like a Stihl bar, to adapt to a husky, the Stihl bar slot has to be lenghthened.

Ok. I'll wait. I will go slip a fuel line in a Poulan to kill time :cool2:

The slot on most stihl mount bars needs to be lengthened about a 1/2-3/4". The cannon bar adapter will work but it does need the slots in the middle ground out on the end without the small recessed hole. That will allow it to be used and you'll have to put it so the adapter doesn't limit the adjustment range. I don't remember which way it has to be as I used a cannon that norm has on the 2100 I had and the cannon slots are longer to allow use on husky without grinding. They along with sugihara have long slots so you don't have to grind on your bars.

Here you go for a picture. Grind the area in the oval.

R2D I never got a new pm from you. Don't know what happened there but I don't have one in my inbox for some reason.

I know what happened. I forgot. I sent you an email. Same questions as presented here and you answered them Thank you.

I bought the Cannon adapter.
I grind out the area in the oval so that the rectangular hole connects to the circular hole
I lengthen the slot in my Stihl bar by 3/4"
I cut wood

I found the email now that you said that. I don't check email very often but I'm on the site daily.
