The Stihlheads didn't make one yet?!

There is my chance to up the Dolmar brand.

Makita who?

I want to do one of these hub swaps so I can run .404 on my MS 261c...just for the fun of it.

I'd use an 8 pin 3/8 low pro and run narrow kerf ps chain.

I’ve only owned one dolmar for a short while, had a 5105 and honestly didn’t care for it in stock form seemed heavy and slow for what it was. Maybe if it was ported I’d think differently but stock it seemed behind the other 50cc saws.

Just wait till that PILTZ guy gets wind of this mod!

Have YOU tried it?
No?
Then don't diss it!
We could get some awesome YouTube videos out of this, like dropping a tree straight on a trailer.

The Plitz guy needs to learn about proper footwear

I run 3/8 13 pin on gear drives but hey it cuts.

Give or take 1/100's

The 13.9 mm intrigues me..... If it is exactly 13.9mm then that is 0.5472"

Those should be around a bunch even in the US.

Have someone send You a fried PS-7910/EA7900 drum and check dimensions Yourself.

I’d take a 7900 if I can find one later but they never really dealt dolmar up here. The one guy local tried just as they quit and that’s why i had the 5105. They took it in on trade where my wife works on a Stihl and they couldn’t get rid of it so I got it in need of some small repairs for 80$. Maybe mine never ran right or something, was smooth just kinda heavy to me and a little slower.

I believe I have a Makita of some sort that showed up yesterday. I will have to look. Right now I need to go dig a ripper out.
