It will and should fit any .325 x.050 bar

It will and should fit any .325 x.050 bar

The same numbers are stamped on the side of the bar couple inches out from where the bar mounts are.

The chain, guide bar, and sprocket have to work together as a system.

.325 is the pitch of your chain (length of links0

.050 is the gauge of your chain drive links (thickness) in inches, 1.3 in mm

It will fit any saw running .325 pitch chain, with a .050 guide bar. You just need to make up the right length loop (count out the number of drive links) and spin it together.

I have always carefully ground rivets down and punched them out to break chain. And peened them over with a hammer to make up one. Never had one come apart where I put it together.

Why because they came with stihl bars on them!What should i do throw them away????I think ill wear them out first!

The real question is why are you making chains when the price of pre made loops is so low:msp_confused:

 

[imagineero]

Nah, the real question is why this is in the commercial tree care and climbing forum

We have a term for deals like that. Fortunately, I am too much of a gentleman to use those rough terms . . . .

(great deal though! I might go and buy a saw that matched the chain if I found that!)
