Dang Tsumura Bar Won't Fit

[mdavlee]

Those 156 wouldn't work on my 394. Had to pull the clutch to get it on the saw.

They worked on mine without pulling the clutch. It was a pain but they fit.

I'll take a look, thanks!

Stihl 114dl/Husky 115dl its gonna be tight, but it may work?

I feel your pain i have some echoes and have to get chains cut down all the time lol

I suppose that a bladesmith could make a knife out of an old, wore out TsuMura, that is if you could ever wear one out. I am on my second going on third year with the one on my 272 and it hasn't started to show any wear yet.

I've had to dress one. It was used to mill some.

ran into the same problem running a 25" stihl bar on my husky 372.had them make a 76 link chain.if it was too long i would have just had them take a link out.its working so ill have it broke down later.

Do what Mike Lee said, I modified my 36" LW Stihl bar for my 2186 and works fine. Wish I would of bought a Total or Sugi, that Stihl bar just don't look right on it.... lol

If you're serious I have a minty 36" sugi. Pm me some pics and info

Stihl mount Sugis have a long slot already, so no grinding is required when used on a Husky with an adapter. Too bad they aren't really light weight like the Stihl light bars.

Hi guys,

I've got a brand new Purdy 36" 3/8 0.63 Tsumura Light and Tough bar sitting on my kitchen table and I'm pretty sure I'm burnt! My problem is that it's a Stihl mount and the saw I wanted to put it on is a 390xp.

Now some of you may be wondering..."Hey dummy, why did you buy a Stihl mount for your Husky?" Well there are Zero...36"....Husky mount Light and Toughs anywhere on planet earth that I'm aware of. Matter of fact, I had to buy this one from Canada. (Another galaxy far, far, away)

I was under the impression that I only needed a adapter and I would be good to go....I was wrong! The adapter fits fine filling out the wider slot of the Stihl mount but the damn slot on the bar isn't long enough to get the chain on!

Now I have a 36" bar, 3 adapters, and 1 spare tip and I'm not sure what I should do...???

Sell? Trade? Or, consider having it machined? What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Pat

Just curious, what adapters do you have?

 

[Rob Stafari]

Has anyone ever ground the slot for a stihl light weight for it to work with the outboard clutch? To slot it the same length as a D009 bar it gets into the reduced weight insert quite a bit didn't know if any structural issues might arise?

I had the same issue with a 20" light and tough. Bought a Stihl mount and an adapter thinking I could use it on both. Nope, would have needed to add a link for use on the husky which defeated the whole purpose. I never thought about grinding the slot, so it gave me an excuse to buy another light and tough in husky mount. Lol

I'm not sure who made my adapter, I ordered it from Nate with my bar.

Grind the slot is what I do.

This.

Or trade me with an already adjusted bar.

Mine won't be as "Pretty" though.

Jon nailed it, you have to use the dl count that is for your saw not the dl count on the bar.

 

[hseII]

I tried that on a 395 and still had to get longer chain. I think the chain adjuster kept it from working after I ground the slot.

It worked for me on a 394, 2095, 288,& 2100, but the 395 may be different.

I have a tsumura L&T 28" stihl mount, it fit just fine on the 394 with a used 83 dl chain which is a stihl dl. But a new 83 dl that hasn't been stretched a little would not fit. Either grinding the slot or adding a dl will work fine.

 

[Deets066]

Hell the chain race at Randy's was 83 dl and it was on a L&T and a 395

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the support!
