HELP! Husqvarna with Granberg bar oiling question

[Yellowking86]

I have a Husqvarna 3120xp with 66” double ended Granberg bar I’m going to use for the first time to try and mill some 4’ wide logs. Is there anything I need to do for the oiler to make the holes line up? I believe the bars made for large stihl mount and it came with circle spacers to adapt it to Husqvarna mount wasn’t sure of I need to do anything for the oiler as well. I’ve only milled much smaller logs up until now if anyone has any tips it would be appreciated.

Certainly you want to make sure there is a clear path from the saw oiler slot to the bar groove. Enlarge existing or drill new holes in the bar to match. Having an external oiler at the far end of the bar would be a good idea too. What’s the part number for the bar? I can ask them about oil alignment and get you a price on the oil bottle.

The bar is the G745-3, I have the auxiliary oiler as well.

There a reason why you can't run it for a bit and see what happens?

I ran it and it’s dumping oil out of another oiler hole. It seems to be oiling but looks like the holes don’t like up as good as they could not sure how to do that. I also have an aux oiler as well.

Whenever I run a Stihl mount bar on my Husqvarna I use this it oils better for me

Thanks everyone, I think I got it squared away. I have oil dripping out of the helper handle so I guess it’s oiling good now. I forgot how great these 3120’s oil.

What was the remedy?

I played around with the adjustment on the helper handle I think that changed where the bar sat on the oiler hole a little. I usually use a 42” bar with this saw and oil just drips down the whole bar so it’s really easy to see. I had to look a little harder but I saw oil pooling in the bottom of the helper handle so it seems to be piling fine now and I’ll also have an auxiliary oiler on it as well.

Little late to the game but that bar is universal design and should oil fine on a bunch of different saws. I have a 72” double ended grandberg bar and mill I ran on an 090 oils just great between saw and the auxiliary oil tank. Only thing that grandberg needs to do is make a list of what saw or saws you’ll be using the chains that came with mine were too short to fit on my 090. I had to call and they sent another chain and masters so I could make them fit, but it would have been a pain if i didn’t have a rivet spinner. I’m not saying all combinations of saws need to be listed but a single 090/070,880,3120,881 maybe a pair of 395’s and or 660/661’s so they at least come with a useable chain.
