If a screw driver don't work, you can always use a bigger hammer. [emoji28]

Still tracking down manuals for members. They get hidden in all kinds of threads. Hope your Dad enjoys the Dolmar.

He is already looking for a long bar for it

Or a wrench turned hammer... We don't discriminate on this thread.

I have been lurking a lot lately cause I don't have anything to bring to the table haha

Same here. Got pretty slow lately with saws, busy everywhere else. Well I did get the Mac 250 tank jb welded tonight, So I should be able to get trial number 2 underway. Should take the carb apart first thought.

He's thinking 32 to 36 inch

I'm thinking 404 skip sequence at that length

Why 404? Admittedly, I haven't run any large saws yet (I'm getting there though), but wouldn't the saw like something like a 3/8 .050 better?

404 makes the big chips and anybody
who knows anybody knows that big chips are sweet, and this saw should have the torque to pull it well, and with a 8 pin rim and a skip sequence it should pull like a freight train

Big chips are sweet, but it's the cookie times that really count. Sure, the saw could probably handle a harvester bar and chain, but it could also handle some small gauge race chain.[emoji57]

Someone has a 13" Oregon bar in stihl 3003 mount .325 pitch for sale. What saw would this bar be right for? 024? 026?

I would put it in the 024, the 026 should probably have a 16"-18" bar.

Well shoot! I might just be getting into the chain making foray. Nobody makes chain in my town anymore. Checked a whole bunch of places, and asked everyone who might still do it. Every answer was in a town about a half hour away. And recommendations on a breaker and spinner?

I've heard tecomec/precision tooling is good.

My 024 sports a 18"

 

[LonestarStihl]

There's a ms241 for sale locally sporting a 20" bar and it seems a bit much to me

It would probably work fine in softwoods, hard woods might be a bit much though

It's called a blade, but I won't judge
