Granberg Double Ended Bar

[Bob Hedgecutter]

Picked up a bar on the cheap last week- old school Granberg double ender, guessing it is what they class as a 56 inch?
Not sure how they are sold or measured- but it is 1425mm overall- so my maths makes it 56 inches overall, actual cut length with the helper handle on would be around 48 inches.
IF it has ever been used (looks to not have been by lack of wear) it has been very low hours usage.
Price was right at $40 of our dollars, which works out to USD $22:38 or CAD $32:39.






Guessing it might mount up to the 125SP or 075.
12mm bar slot and a multitude of oil and adjuster holes, 0.063 gauge.
Guessing by the mounting holes it was meant for the old steel Granberg mill frame?

Nice find, any plans for it?
The end of the slot & one of the holes doesn't look quite right... might just be the pic, or might be that it's been altered to fit something

Plans- well fit it to a big old saw and make some slabs I guess.
Might just be the pic- look pretty uniform and unaltered to me.

I know these have Granberg branding and were sold with mill kits etc- but does anyone know who actually made and supplied these to Granberg?
I see the modern ones are GB double ended bars- but these predate those.

I have one, we use it with a pair of 390’s be extremely careful with that, if one saw quits it gets dragged along by the second and you will be out a saw very quickly. I forgot what it cost new but a couple hundred anyway.

Will only see single powerhead and helper handle use here.
The deep belly 56"GB one, new on the shelf here retails at $956:80- thats the bare bar without the helper handle with roller- you add another $281:06 of ours for that.

Yep- didn't REALLY need it- but for that asking price I was not going to let it pass neither!
Helped I was due to drive past the guys front gate to get to an airport.
Just happened to be the same guy selling it that sold me my 125SP.
