Having anaylized the saw a little further you can see in one of the pics there is a milled slot on the top of the bar cover plate. I think this is where the original chain brake might have been. Also there are 2 oiling holes at the bar mount studs. One feeds from the Auto-oiler and the other feeds from the manual oiler. My saw has the manual oiler,feed tube pinched off and the rest of the manual oiler was obviously removed years ago...

Well the bar # you posted is a stihl mount not a dolmar mount
25 = inches
07 = tail design / specific mount
63 = gague thickness
the Dolmar bars by windsor # would be 431 063 022 dolmar #
24 dm 63 STB windsor #
both of those bars would be 24" .404" .063" if you changed the tip to a windsor STA you could use 3/8" .063" ie. 75LG

the 153 and 166 dolmar use the same size bar studs as a large mount stihl. The woodsman pro bars sold by baileys are listed to fit both stihls and dolmars. I think if you asked the guys at baileys they could tell you where to drill the oiler hole in the correct spot for your saw.

Ok thanks I did think it was the little screw so thats mucho help!
Is there anything wrong with drilling the bar I currently have in order to line up the oil hole? The hole supposed to be "exposed" at the bottom of the bar groove, so that oil flows into the bar groove right? My concern is that the chain runners would catch in this hole?
If it can be drilled I'd like to keep it because I already bought files for a 3/8'' pitch chain not the original.404
Scott, I Don't suppose you'd be able to source up a brake for it would you? I' figure since you've been into them since "79 you'd have the best chance of anyone finding parts.

I drilled mine, didn't run into any problems, and it's .404 chain. Mine is all orange, never had a chain brake, or a manual oiler as far as I can tell. May have been cobbled together from more than one saw knowing the guy I bought it from!

Can't get to teh camera and the saw at the moment. I figured out where to put the hole by spraying some paint on the bar, and bolting the saw together. later, pull it apart and you will have a very obvious stensil of the oiler hole. When I drilled mine, it was into the groove and below. I didn't go all the way through the bar, just opened up the side where the oiler contacts the bar. As long as you don't leave a burr in the groove it won't hurt the chain.

Nope that makes total sense Thanks very much!. Thats exactly the answer I was looking for.PWB said:
As for the oiler do you remember which way you turn the screw for more oil flow --clockwise or counter clockwise?

here are my 153 pics
Nice, very nice. Mean looking saw with that skip tooth chain on there. You could eat off that saw!Something about those late 70's early 80's saws (muscle car era of saw land). I've always liked German made tools whether hand tools or power .
You can also try contacting a guy named Lindle at [email protected]. He was able to find an original Sachs-Dolmar cylinder/piston combo for my 119. (Now I need to find the $$ to buy it from him!)
He may have a clutch cover with the chain brake in place for your 153.

Yes, the 1981 IPL show it too, but it may not have been standard as both IPLs also show a simple handguard like the one on the 152 (just a shot in the dark....).Dolmar_Tech_Mgr said:
One website that I just looked at states that the 153 was made from 1977 until 1988.

From the pictures posted i would say that the chain brake was removed by someone that just felt he did not need it. FYI, the other day i ran across a brand new cylinder and piston for the 153.
