stihl chain difference

[njtom]

what's the difference between 3634 005 0074 and a 3689 005 0074 ?

 

[Justin Taylor]

The first one is a green chain that means that it has less of a chance to kick back (for beginners) the 2 one is a yellow chain it has more of a chance to kickback (more experienced people)

What?

 

[Justin Taylor]

What?

What

 

[stilh036prohog]

Green is the low kickback chain yellow chain isn't

 

[Justin Taylor]

Green is the low kickback chain yellow chain isn't

Oh typo

 

[stilh036prohog]

I didn't look up the stihl numbers.

 

[stilh036prohog]

Some people don't know. All

 

[stilh036prohog]

I think the 3689 is semi chisel chain and 3634 is full chisel

 

[Mad Professor]

Not sure of difference.

Both are 23RM3. That is 0.325 , 0.063 ga, semi-chisel, GREEN chain, 74 links

 

[stilh036prohog]

I got 26rm3. ??

 

[Mad Professor]

I got 26rm3. ??

23 = 0.325 . 0.063
RM = semi-chisel
3 = green/safety

 

[stilh036prohog]

Ok I like Oregon numbers better. Stih can be confessing.

The 3634 like above is RM3 in 0.063. I do not see the 3689 in my paper catalog dated nov 2012. It does not produce any results in search at the Stihl site where the other gets some hits from the saws that come with it as standard equipment. Post the answer when you find out, if possible.

From Bing....

Here is the catalog...

 

[HarleyT]

1 = 1/4"


2 = .325"


3 = 3/8"


4 = .404"


6 = 3/8" PICCO


7 = 1/4" PICCO





1 = .043" (1.1 mm)


3 = .050" (1.3 mm)


5 = .058" (1.5 mm)


6 = .063" (1.6 mm)


0 = .080" (2.0 mm)

 

[HarleyT]

So 23 is .325 pitch .050 ga.

 

[HarleyT]

.050 is 1.3mm
.058 is 1.5mm
.063 is 1.6mm

2015 catalog lists 3689 as RM3 in 0.063 - both listed as green chains in .325 - did they change numbers between 2012 and 2015 ?
