Sachs Dolmar 133 Bar Help

[rhine9]

Hi Guys,

 

I'm new to this forum, I'm after some advice regarding fitting a 36" bar to a 133 I've just brought please.

From what I've read I think the best way to do this would be replacing the saw stud mounts with smaller 8mm ones so I could get a Stihl 36" bar which fits the ms660 etc and just drill new holes for the oiler in the bar. 

 

 If this is the best way does anybody know the part number for the studs I need to buy which will fit the 133?

 

I did come across a post where somebody said Oregon make a 36" bar that will directly fit the 133 with no alterations needed but I can not find these bars?

 

Any help would be great,

 

Thanks

 

Rich

Thanks peatff will give them a go.

If you did go the Stihl bar route it might be simpler to open the slot in the bar than to find 8mm studs. There is play in the bar slots as they locate on a wider section at the base of the stud.

Thanks, that's a good idea, just seems really different to get big bars on these old beasts ?

Believe Martin near us fitted a Stihl bar to his big Dolmar but he has a mill to do the slots.

It can be done with a pillar drill and some very steady 1mm cutting discing.

Thanks for all your help.

Have been able to find just what I'm looking for now from chainsawbars (thanks peatff!)

They sell Sugi Hara bars that fit directly on the 133 with no modifications needed if anybody else is interested.

Great stuff ?
