Dolmar 420 3/8 LP or .325?

It’s a clutch drum set up from a 5100-5105 and a washer. @fordf150 can set you up

thanks pat

And the 6100 uses the same clutch drum set up too. And get an Echo 590 clutch tool to. With a few swipes of a file or passes with a spinny thing it'll fit on Dolmar clutch and you'll save 60-70 bucks.

What is the part number for the Echo clutch tool?
Which Dolmar models can it be made to fit?

Looks to the right number. And I don't know what else it could fit as I only have the smaller Dolkitas.

Iirc I just removed material from the inside of the pins till it fit.

I found some pictures of 3/8” lp Stihl ps the non safety chain, that’s the orange bar. The silver Oregon and sugi are .325 Stihl RS.

The sugi was a k095 bar I modified to fit the little 421 A041 Mount.

I found written on a piece of paper that you need a 10x16x.2mm shim to run the 5100 drum

A little off topic but do all the dolmars start as easy as the 420. I can pull mine slow as posible from cold and it starts crazy easy. I am quite impressednin how easy it starts.

Did you get that from Nate as well?

 

[Backtroller]

Yes, he sent it along with the drum

Anyone use .325 nk?

Most of my saws are ported or modified, so they all pull 325 fine. I prefer semi chisel 325 standard over NK and LP for one main reason - it lasts quite a bit longer both for maintenance and longevity. The teeth stay sharper longer. If I hit anything in the wood, there's more cutter to bring back, and it does less damage to the cutter. 325 is easier for me to sharpen, and I can get it to cut rather well, and run shorter rakers on the ported saws. Occasionally I break those tiny files when I am bringing back an LP cutter. The 325 chain links break much less often than LP. And they just last longer between chains. The bars also last longer. Here the costs are similar, as well.

.325 is more forgiving if the chain gets loose. 3/8LP likes to come off too easy if you allow it to get even a little loose.
