3/8 LP Drum and Sprocket

[RonL]

Is Stihl the only one to have a replaceable sprocket for 3/8 LP? Seems Oregon is missing the boat unless they have an agreement with Stihl. Seems like there are a lot of arborists and tree service people that would appreciate this.
As an aside to this I think there is definitely a place for a 40cc or so professional grade saw that is light weight. A 9 or so pound 40cc saw can be extremely useful. A 10 pound plus 40cc saw is approaching the point of diminishing returns , compared to 50cc saws, except for perhaps fuel consumption.

All I will say. This is wrong by most folks got to be the correct way high standards. But I have been doing it for years now and know more that has been doing it too. It may not be perfect to some, but it sure works for me.

Been running 3/8LP on 3/8 7T oregon small rims for almost 10 years on and off and will continue to do so.

People will say you cant run a LP bar on a 026 too. But being a redneck, you can do whatever you set your mind to.

Was running LP on this wood ported 026. Ran rim set up 3/8 7 too.

The little 142 husky I just picked up runs 3/8 LP and I found a rim/ drum setup available through hl supply. That little saw is surprisingly not as big of a turd as I expected it to be BTW.

Nope

Why can't you run Lo pro on an 026/24

Got a lot of life left in that one deets.

3/8 may be 3/8 but neither LP or standard 3/8 are actually 3/8 of an inch. That said, the LP chain does indeed have a lower profile that standard 3/8 chain and as a result the diameter of the sprocket must change to perfectly match the drivers on the chain. With a standard 3/8 chain the centerline of the chain (rivets) are further from the centerline of the drive sprocket which requires a different diameter for the drive sprocket.

I didnt say you couldnt. I did put one on.

People said ya couldnt put a LP bar on a 026 D025 mount saw.

I'm confused.
