Husky to Stihl bar adaptorI want to switch from

[mdavlee]

If I had an end I'll I would use it. For now it's a 4" grinder and carbide bits.

How about going from a " D009 to a D025/3003 mount.
Adapter available?

Carefully measure and use a cut of wheel on an angle grinder taking a little off each side. Iam about to do the same thing this weekend.

Will that eliminate the need fer a adapter?

Your D009 bar mount slot is 9.5 mm wide and the D025 is 12mm so no adapter needed unless mount back on a husky

Much obliged!

This was a D025 bar with a @Homelite410 adapter the to large husky mount saw. The holes with arrows I added. Then I had to remove that much from the slot to get everthing to fit.

Harbor freight calipers around $10 they do sae and metric. And the hard part of what I did was making sure the bar was clamped down tight to keep from moving.

I’ll piggyback off of this thread, I was given a ton of assorted chains by a friend that came off of both Stihls and Huskies and I’ve run into an issue. I’ve got probably 10 or so 28 inch chains, but they are too short for a D009 bar, which is what I need them for. I have three loose 28 inch Do25 bars, two Stihls and an Oregon, if I get a D025 to D009 adapter and put the bars on a Husky can I run the shorter chains or will they still be a driver too short?

I've got a 394 I want to switch to .404 and run a 32" bar on it. The problem is: 1. Getting .404 in husky. 2. A bar I'm looking at is a Stihl mount. That means I'm going tohave to put an adaptor on it and I don't have any experience with them. I know people out there run them, what is your experience with them? Good or bad? Oil holes line up correctly? Do they hold the bar in a stable position? Thanks for any advise!

I've run a 25inch 404 Stihl on my 394 - had to add 1 dl and drill out the adjuster hole. It might have been easier to file/grind a bit off the adjuster pin.
Sometimes it is a good idea to elongate the oil hole.
After all that I was thinking that I should just have bought a husky/Oregon bar

I just went out and mocked up a Stihl bar on the 365, it looks like I could but I’d have to elongate the slot and drill a new adjuster hole. Or, I buy an 044/440 to run my Stihl bars and chains on. I’m thinking I’ll do the adapter/modify option so I can utilize my chain hoard, what do y’all think?

My vote is for the 440. I can't help it as to I am partial to this saw.

Further update, after sorting out my chains I learned I have 5 Husky-length 28 inch chains and 5 Stihl-length 28 inch chains. Crises averted and I’ll pass on getting another saw for now.

Funny you should say that, a friend stopped by yesterday and commented on how disappointing the size of my saw collection was compared to when they heard me talk about it. I explained I’d sold 30+ saws since I told them about it and was trying to keep it to less than 20 saws, but they were still disappointed in me.
