how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

The stihl bar in 18"x.325 runs 74 driver links. The Husky runs 72. If I bought 73 DL chains, once they stretched a bit, wouldn't they work on both bars?

You might have some that cross over,
But it's unlikely to work out to all the chains on all the saws

 

[cobey]

My 024's would take 66 or 67 dl chains
The bar with same advertised dl would only do 67 both bars new a gb and a stihl

Sometimes you can mess with the adjuster holes a little

Iam glad you brought this up as I have thought about trimming a 20" k095 bar to fit the 74dl chain. Haven't done it yet though.

I wonder well an LED that screws into the decomp would light the cylinder when working on it

probably as long as it didn't blind ya

I don't know if you could get one bright enough that small tho

Awol (Alan) has done a bunch of different guide bar mods

I may just stay 16" 3/8". The DL count is the same from the Stihls to the Huskys so I can grab a 16" loop off of the rack and slip onto any saw. It's kind of nice not having to identify a group of chains for a specific saw. Everything bar length we have now (12, 14, 16, 20, 28, 36) fits on any bar in the inventory of that length... Makes it a lot less frustrating.

That what Iam trying to do now all my clammy poulans share stuff but having recently getting a husqvarna and now two mre I was wanting them to all run the .325 74dl chain as I have 9 loops of it for my ms290 so it might be worth my time to mod some bars.

Any of you MO guys know this outfit? They're out of Ava I believe, showed up here today looking to buy walnut.

Maybe. Aside from a Stihl bar is likely .063, and the Husky bar is .050.

Or .058

MS440, 024, and 200t are the saws I take cutting. I really like my 2 024s but it seems like the 200t just blows them away. I bought the drum and rim to run Picco on my 024s instead of the .325 18" on them now. I just have to buy a bar and chain. I'm excited to see how much different it will cut.

I took the little 450 out today
Started it with my left hand
It worked ok for a couple cuts.
That .325 NK is smooth, and quick enough but it Sure don't feed like 3/8 lgx .
Run the bar buried in hard oak
I haven't tried the speed cut chain
Yet.

Speed cut chain is what?

I need a 1/4" set up on a baby saw for carving stuff..

I would think an 024 would be a candidate for performance mods.
Small, light, nimble.
Closed port, pro grade.
Turds from factory, but I think they have promise. Just a few minor mods may make them more of a go to grab.

Hailey put the new go kart thru its paces today. So fun to see her go! I think drivers ED will go smoothly!!
