660+20" bar & 8 pin sprocket?

[chainsawaddict]

Did the standard 72 dl chain fit with the 8 pin?

yes, fit just fine.. I think you run into problems though when you go up to 9.

just yesterday it got my 36" bar and chain to fit on there with the 8 pin. It still cut pretty good, i didnt put it in any big wood though. 8 pin might be a bit too much for 36" bar....??

Buy an 8T and try it!! The sprocket is cheap enough.

At the Ohio GTG where we were playing with a 5 ft bar on my old 066 Mag, full comp, we were running an 8 pin. We were just noodling but buried it full length.

you need to time it.

my saws SEEM to be a lot happier with an 8 tooth then a 7 tooth, but the stop watch proves otherwise in bigger wood.

a 9 tooth was too much for my saw and an aggressive chain.

In reading this it appears that the shorter the bar the more of an issue it is. On mine it was a 24" bar.

Yep... confirmed this last night. 9 pin wouldn't fit with stock loop on the 372 w/ 18" bar. Need one, maybe 2 links.

Ment to put this up before, bottom is a modified 16 inch bar I run on 066 with 10 pin gear.

Top is a 12 pin gear showing about how much would need to be cut off of a longer bar to make it work.

Heed Timberwolf's advice he's dead on.
I run a 10 pin 20" modified bar on one of my 066's.

Pretty scarey throwin' a chain on stock bar.:jawdrop:
Don't ask how I know.

Nice illustration. Does anybody make wide body bars?

How does the 066 like 10T? I ordered a 10T same time I got 9T but have'nt got round to modifying a bar yet... 9T works well though - hogs along even in blue gum (hard as hell) but could be faster with 8T in this wood :monkey:

9T covers the range of cutting well - stock.

No trouble with 10 pin gear for gtg fun. Likely fine even with 11 pin in 8x8 or 10 inch round.

I have even run it a little for cutting up fire wood with 10 no trouble.
