Husqvana 435?

[MarshallArb]

is it possible to fit a carving bar to a 435?

 

i know i can get a husqvana carving bar (cannon) and chain but am struggling to find a 1/4 pitch sprocket to fit the 435.

 

if there is no such thing can i buy a rim and spline sprocket for the 435 in standard .325 and then swap the catridge outer for a 1/4 drive from another sprocket ie are all husqvana splines the same?

 

would welcome any advice as would like to start carving and this is the only chainsaw i can spare from tree surgery!

I don't know, but you might like to try contacting these people

 

The UK home of Cannon™ Bar Chainsaw bars

 

they can probably tell you if it's available or not

I have been trying this setup for a while but no sprocket available in 3/8th. Tried running 325 on 16" quarter tip but kept snapping chain. Have not found a solution as yet. If you come across anything let me know.

yeah ive contacted them will let you know in the next couple of days.

 

as regards snapping chains i believe thats why most carving chains are 1/4 rather than .325

it seems that you can only run a husq 346xp on a 1/4 chain. tavistock chainsaws can suply a new sprocket to suit meaning you can run a quater or a dime cannon bar.

 

i.e. if your husqvana runs on a rim and spline sprocket they can suply just a new 1/4 catridge. not sure what older/non pro husqvana saws run on a rim and spline but they would be able to supply for those to i guess.

 

all other husqys can only run .325 on a quater tip with the problem you mention. as ther are no 1/4 spur spockets available.

At moment run 3/8th low profile on 346xp but finding suitable rim sprocket, as they are no longer made, very difficult. Got my present one from Ed Robinson but he reckons there are no more available althougt some Americans are looking for orders to justify having some manufactured.
