Doesn't markings on the bar specify drive link count (DL)?

 

Most likely 84 (assuming 3/8").

 

See http://www.chainsawbars.co.uk/ to find suitable chains

It probabilly will. Just wondering if its worth keeping or not..

I have an Oregon 24" bar, chains are available for that in made up loops, give Rob D a look, chainsawbars.co.uk- problem solved. Unless you need an extra inch? in which case sell it and get a 25" bar!

It might not be a Stihl bar which means there is a chance the oil hole wont line up with the outlet on the power head . Its rare but I have seen that problem in the past .
