I'm going to have a crack at this, need to change over 2 battery saws as currently have Panther bar and the original 3/8lp.

Thats a really good tip from Matty. I did the same when the 57dl chains weren't available off the shelf. If you drill the bar you can use 56 or 57 dl chains.

It’s simple enough Dan , just put the bars on top of each other and make sure they line up from the back and mark the bar from the original echo mount holes on to the stihl.

To be fair Mark if I was organised enough I would buy them in bulk off you or rob with the correct number of drivelinks ..but I usually have a load then realise I have none left and the local mower shop or agri dealer off the shelf saves the day for an extortionate price instead.

Drill what holes? In the new Stihl bar?

 

If I have to get a replacement bar I'll go for the farmertec

You’re overcomplicating it.

Get a 10” 150 bar and 57DL Stihl chain.

 

We’ve fricked about with just about every other combo and this is the winner.

Cool, thanks. I also have a 150 so rather keep everything on 56 DL.

It's probably on drugs

Had time to shorten the 64DL to 60DL today. Stihl are a bit stingy on the rivet pins as unlike other chains, theres not enough meat to reuse them, and new 1/4" master links are near unobtainium. The pins and their holes in the drive link are smaller diameter than other 1/4" chains, tho I could have enlarged them, or used lathe to turn new pins, but I have stuff infront of it for the moment.

 

I am out of gas for the tig welder, so stick weld it is! 1.6mm electrodes, are still on the large side for tiny delicate chains, but have had success before.

 

Not pretty but perfectly functional, the links move freely and will not be coming off, tempered at 230c so wont be brittle.

Welding a chain is a new one on me! Honey brothers and l s engineering stock the tie straps, Ive directed a few customers to them in the past. I'm sure that they will stock the tie straps for the little Stihl chain.

How many tie straps do you? I can sort them for you

There were always a few tie straps and presets left over from a 100ft reel when I used to make my own but they are available separately, you would need to check these were the right make, pitch and gauge:
