It's hard to spot, but the bar on this Treemonkeyed 361 is a 73 VS a 75. I used an angle grinder and carbide drill bits.

Hrm.. that might be a TLandrum saw...I forget...

So you converted a husky bar to stihl mount? That might actually be easier than fitting the stihl to the husky lol.

Easier to mount, for sure. But the amount of work needed - I wouldn't try it on one of those rock hard SugiHara bars. I had to bob the tail quite a bit if I recall.

Enlarging it from 9mm to 12mm was a bit of a pain, but it is way easier to mount than the Stihl bar on my 288 is. I have to use a screwdriver to flip new chain onto the bar until the chain loosens up a bit.

I had to redrill some holes and bob the arse off this bar, too;

Now your Hooskie will gain about a tenth or 2 in the cut! [emoji1787]

The stihl bar is definitely tougher made than the oregon. Especially the older one that I had with the 6 rivet tip. I had to grind the slot forward about a inch and half, also drilled the adjuster holes out to fit the 372/390 bar adjuster stud. Also drilled the oiler holes out to the tsumura/sugi size. Not easy cutting through the hardened bar steel.

Now Jeff has no excuses not to compare his saws to mine at the next gtg, if I don’t f up this bar logging with it before then. Lol

 

[RI Chevy]

You and me always compare stuff. Lol

I just converted a stihl 25” bar (we all know it’s a 24 lol) I had laying around to fit a 372. Fuggin pain. Not as simple as slappin on a adaptor lol.

Lol 10 minutes with a drill and angle grinder to much?

 

[RI Chevy]

Keep the Stihl bars on Stihl saws, and get your Hooskie stuff. Lol

Where is the fun in that?

Last one I did with a angle grinder, looked like a hack job. Did it with the hand piece and carbide burr this time. Turned out a lot neater. Takes more time though.

Now you got a hacked up bar to go with your hacked up saw. Or did that one go to someone else?

That bars long gone. Forgot what happened to it actually lol. Not that I really cared about it.

I tired to re drill some holes in AM outer dogs, and no way! ended up punching them!

Yup my drill bits weren’t doing nothing to the bar adjuster holes. I had to use the carbide burr to grind them larger. The oiler holes were easy but that’s because the metal is thinner there.

Me too, Me too!!! Got some new toys this year, and some old ones! Looking forward to Spring already! My saws are all in Hibernation mode now!

 

[RI Chevy]

Yes. We all do have fun comparing and seeing what's new and stuff! [emoji106]
Running these silly saws.

 

[Mkinslow]

Use the bits for drilling through tile and concrete and go slow. Works every time.
