The bar tip is simply held in place by 1 Allen Head bolt clamping it in the mill ,the powerhead is mounted by leaving the clutch cover on but using the special nuts which tighten your clutch cover and bar ,they have a step shoulder to offset the mill in order for the bar to be in the right place ,the mill is the held by 2 Allen head bolts that then screw into the clutch cover nuts,hope this all makes sense ,my mill is the 36inch which needs a 42inch bar to achieve that cut ,its currently set to take the 36inch bar ,this gives me ample bar to cut slabs ,I then rip them down to what ever size timbers I need using either my mini mill or my big *** circular saw
 
These mills were made in the days when some power heads had longer fronts. By this I mean the distance between the bar bolts and the front of the saw, as shown by the blue arrow. Depending on which saw is used this eats up valuable bar cutting length but you use you may be able to drill new holes so you can move the saw forward to recover some of that cutting length.GBmill.jpg

My BIL Mill mill uses a similar arrangement (mill bolts to the bar bolts except I removed the clutch cover and bolt further in.
Of course I then had to make a custom clutch cover.

I built the mill around the 076 but when I got the 880 found I had to make an adapter plate because it was the 880 that had the slightly longer front.
