Quick Bar & Chain Question

[Wood Cutter]

HI,
Right now I am runnning a 18" long bar with the bar being .050 gauge. If I bought a 18" bar with .058 gauge, would I be able to just change the chain and go, or would I have to change the drive sprocket too? Also whats better/faster a 7 tooth sprocket or a 8 tooth sproket? Thanks

7 tooth is a better set up for that cub cadet, going to .058 bar, just a matching chain.
