I have a Makita 9010, writing on the box and elsewhere mentioned a 30" and 29" bar, no bar included when I got it, but was surprised to find a 92dl chain. I figured it must fit a 29" bar as a Stihl 30" as they measure theirs uses 91DL, turns out the 1970's Oregon uses 93DL. I noticed that the oil hole on the Oregon bar does not line up with the oil slot on the power head, but the bar is a Stihl large 14mm mount just like the studs. I wonder if there were different bar plates with different oil slot locations to accommodate the different bar mounts available on the 9010, and if they got it wrong somehow, or if Oregon got it wrong? Anyway, I'll just drill new holes a little lower. Pics tomorrow.
There were some saws sold overseas with a hardnose 29” or 30” bar. I’m not exactly sure how many DLs they take, though.
@RI Chevy would know, he has a bar like that.
The mount on the saw is a D033, which essentially is a D009 with a 14mm slot. That was meant to be ran in the front mount holes in the case. There’s a second set of holes meant for D009 mount studs. To do it so it looks factory, it’ll require a new bar plate, which is NLA, and a new clutch cover.
If you just want to get it done, you can drill out your existing bar plate, install the 9mm studs, drill out the clutch cover, and run a large D009 mount bar.
Or, you can grind the slot on a D009 bar up to 14mm.
Modding a large Stihl E031/3002 mount bar to work on these saws is not that difficult either.
You can also grind flats on the 14mm studs, and run a D009 or D025 bar, depending on how much you take off.
The last way I’ve seen done is to machine a recess on the front holes, so you can run the D009 studs there, so the shoulder on the stud fits flush. It’ll make it look pretty much stock, which is nice.
Many ways to skin that cat. Lol
Am I rambling yet? Feels like I am.
