New Saws For Sale

[Muggs]

are sprockets pitch specific?

Pitch is the relative size and spacing of chain drive links, so you always need to match pitch on the saw, the bar sprocket, and the chain.

Surprise, this dyslexic got it backwards. I meant to ask about gauge not pitch. Aka the thickness of the drivers and groove.

 

[Boomslang]

I've known guys who will run .050 chain and then switch to .058 when the bar begins to wear. Not sure how much performance is impacted.

You can't run .050 chain on a .058 bar. It'll throw the chain constantly.

Got it, but I was asking about the sprocket, are they gauge specific?

No, just pitch. Although there are 7 pin and 8 pin sprockets in each pitch (and 9 pin in .404 I believe).

The pin effects the performance. 7 pin should be more torque and 8 pin would produce higher chain speed. Unless I have that backwards

I think you have it backwards, 8 drive links per is faster than 7. We should stop the derail of someone’s sales post.

I have Light 20" and 28" Stihl and Light 24" Husqy.

Is the 24" light husky .058 gauge? Is so, how much with shipping?

Gauge does not matter on the sprocket. It will handle any of the gauges.
On the above subject, 7 tooth sprocket (which is smaller) will give more torque but less speed than 8 tooth sprocket (which is bigger). Like gears, smaller= higher torque but slower.

On with the sale!

It'd be around $115 shipped to anywhere in the US. Yes, it is .058.

 

[islandarb]

I know! Want to keep it .050 so I can run all the same stuff.

I just use stihl bars and adapters on my 372 and 395. Stihl make best bars on planet for daily grind. Light bars do not hold up well in the concrete wood I am cutting. Generate too much heat, cause caked sap problems creating drag and shitty running chains.

@chipper1 where’d you get them? Wanna kick one down to me?

Not sure, I buy everywhere, and try to have items on hand long before I'd need them. Nope.
But here's one.

Nothing that size in Husqy mount. I usually run Stihl bars with adapters for anything longer than 24" on my Husqy's.

All the bars that I'm selling are .063 Stihl and .058 Husqy.

I have Light 20" and 28" Stihl and Light 24" Husqy.

Talking about all this made me remember I have a crap ton of 24x.063, but no bars because most everything I have is 050. Happen to have anything>

How do driver link counts match up between Husky and Stihl?

How do driver link counts match up between Husky and Stihl?

Depends on the length of the bar, some are similar, some are not.
24 husky and stihl "25" are both 84dl, but some of the larger bars are different.

I'll have a look Brett. I have a 25" ES Light coming soon 84DL. What's the DL count on those chains you have?

How do driver link counts match up between Husky and Stihl?

Usually if you run an adapter and Stihl 3/8" bar, you'd have to add a link for a Husky due to bar stud spacing.

 

[AlfA0137]

Be patient with me....I'm getting a list of bars that I have available with part numbers.

This has been my experience with my 395 and stihl 91 drive link 28”
Makes it kinda a pain. If I recall right a 92dl chain can work on a stihl saw until it’s pretty worn in.

The extra link works well for ES Light bars. I prefer the modded bar method to avoid odd ball chain lengths when possible. I wrote an Instructable about it a couple of years ago.

How to Use a Stihl Chainsaw Bar on a Husqvarna Saw: In this Instructable I'll show you the basics of using a Stihl bar and chain on a Husqvarna chainsaw. Sometimes chainsaw bars are referred to as arms, blades or swords, but I'll simply stick to using the official term which is chainsaw bar...

24x.063x84dl would work fine.
I've not had a problem with 20 or 24 driver count when running stihl bars on my huskys or dolmar large mount saws. I have sugi and tsumara bars for 28-32 that are standard size chains.
