Once I was able to play golf the last day in February. Hit the ball into the water and it bounced off the ice and into the fairway. Nothing like the forecast for the next few days.

Mine didn't come with a bar but I had an old Mono bar that fits, however it's not the one for it. This one's about 28 long. I suspect about 16-20 is correct and probably a "beaver tail" style. I've got several of those. I suspect one will work, after all it's an AH47 engine. Pretty common stuff for back then.

This is the bar that usually came on them.

Looks familiar. I'll have to look through the bar pile.

Speaking of bars... I am in the market for ~32-36" large mount husky bar. Something that my 390 can pull. It needs to be 3/8" .050 gauge.
Please holler at me if you have one you are looking to part with...

Plumb nice day. Tinkered on the Husky 41.

Anyone have the inside bar plate for one?

Oil runs down the case and not on the chain.

@hoskvarna, I am slowly converting over to the dark side....thinking about another
Husqvarna. How much you need to get out of the 394? PHO?

Most of the OEM Husky bars at 36" are 058 You can get a OEM 32" in 050.

I believe I have located an older non-china GB that is a 32 .050 ...

Honestly at 36", you might be better off with an .063 bar for better oiling and maybe a bit less chain stretch. I will eventually sell my 36" Stihl bar to help towards a new bar for the 9010 (which will also fit a 390 or 395 when the time comes). For my use a 28" bar on a 390xp would be about perfect saving the 36" or bigger for the 9010 or a 395, or bigger.

Do any of you fellers have experience with the 06 to early 07 Dodges with the last run of the CR 5.9 Cummins? I'm looking at a built one which may replace m,y 7.3 truck... I know the mechanicals pretty well, but am looking more for first-hand pros/cons. I won't buy a 6.4 Powerstroke and right now I think the jury's still out on the longevity (beyond 150K mileage) of the 6.7 Fords and Dodges... Most of the Duramaxes (owners) are just too darn high for me to consider them... Looking at an '07 with 235 on the body, but 40K on a built 5.9 and matching tranny + T-case, A.M cam, slightly bigger injectors, studs, etc... Looks and runs good for $16K. It's a bit higher price than I want to pay but right now, between emissions issues, market demand, inflation and the fallout from cash-for-clunkers, it's largely a seller's market...

Right now a new(er) 5500 Ram is a bit out of the budget as I'm shooting in the 15-20k range, preferably on the lower side.
Feel free to PM me if you want.

I've got both size bars for my 390.
28 inch is 3/8 050.
36 is a Stihl 404 063.
Pulls both very well. Can't tell it's got a 36 on it.

5.9 was a lot better engine than the 6.7 is that without the emissions *s-word? That's what makes the 6.7 less reliable

Front end is normal dodge junk. 06-07 is the best for tuners. I've had 3 07.

Dad's 03 5.9 was way badder ass than his 06 6.7 same stage 2 turbo and everything
