[john p]

Looking to change from 404 to 3/8 on my 084, can I just get new sprocket/bar end for my current bar or just buy whole new one? Ta

If its a replaceable sprocket nose on the bar then yes . Don't forget to change the power mate rim the other end !

So the gauge/width is the same ?

Well yea as standard. I once had a 385 Husky from Canada that had a 32" bar 3/8 pitch and was narrow kirf .050 semi chisel . Never seen it before on that lenght bar or since but they exist .

My 32" powermatch reduced weight bar was .050. It is very common in the PNW. Supposedly clogs up less with fibrous wood like fir, and is lighter.

Thanks for backing me up there wyk ! It was a Canadian saw but the bar was as an Aussie GB bar . I honestly think you can get any chain , in any pitch , in any gauge , in any driver count you want and someone will have a bar for it . Seem to remember having some slim gauge longish Windsor bars at some time ....

Sadly not at the moment in my case - struggling to find some 3/4" x 0.080" chain..... Mind you, it is for a 1940s 2-man Teles so I suppose I could be looking a little late
