Help regarding guide bar

[Adam2173]

Hello folks.

 

I'll be honest, i know very little about chainsaws. Hoping to get some help here. I purchased a very cheap chainsaw last year. Its surprisingly alright and fits my needs. Figured i'd cheap out a bit given its my first chainsaw. Only thing that was disappointing about it was the chain and bar (parker) 

 

I replaced the Parker chain with an Oregon and the changes were night and day However, yesterday the bar gave out and i began looking for a replacement. I can't for the life of me find a bar (that isn't parker) Oregon website has no bar with those filters. Only 22" and 24" bar with 76 links. I don't mind replacing bar and chain to fit one another but have no idea if drive links matter where the chainsaw is concerned.

 

To conclude, does anyone know where i could find a better quality bar with those specifications? Spent a few hours online with no luck.

 

Bar that came with the chainsaw

 

20" Bar

.235"

.063 gauge Edit: Think its .058

76 drive links 

 

Chainsaw in question, cheap, i know.

Actually asking a question :)

you could take the saw into a local garden machinery place and get one that fits, might be a bit more expensive than online but at least you will know it fits.

if its a cheap saw a shorter bar may also improve performance

Hello Carlos. Thanks for the tip. I may have to end up doing that. My own fault for going cheap, now may have to spend the same amount of money on bar and chain as i did the actual chainsaw itself.

 

Thanks

It's worth going to a dealer if you're not sure, you would probably find one in that size but there's also variation in the bolt holes where it mounts on the saw that you would need to know and that isn't always clear online.

 

You could try posting the saw model here in case someone else has it or knows it.

Hi Gdh, 

 

Yes, i think you may be right. Need a professional to take a look at it. And thank you for reminding me, should have added the chainsaw in original post.
