560xp 3/8 conversion

[Ricbob]

So im looking into converting from the standard .325 to 3/8 after hearing good things on here. Ive got the sprocket so now for bar and chain.

 

Trying to find a bar that will fit is proving difficult, im looking for a 16" sealed nose sprocket bearing like the oregon powermatch bars - 168RNDK095

 

problem is other than a lucky dip on ebay i cant find anywhere that sells them, id like something more 'off the self' so i can replace it quick if needed.

 

I'll be PM RobD soon to see if he and sort me out but would like to here suggestions first. thanks.

Here they are. 15" or 18" seem to be the going offers.

Just out of interest what would be the gains / performance changes with the .325-3/8 ???

Hopefully they have pure K095 mounts, and not the combination K095/K041 mounts (AT mount)?

We stock the 3/8 560 husky bars if your interested.

 

We are using one on our 560 20" wouldnt bother with anything less tbh, well it works for us, replaces the 046 in the tree.

I've been looking for 8 tooth 3/8 sprocket small spline to save me changing rim too but not had any luck. Eddy T suggested niko but haven't been able to track one down.

 

Any suggestions or will I need to change to standard spline rim?

Thanks

You need the clutch drum listed for 3/8" chain in the IPLs, as that is a standard 7-spline one - look in the 562xp IPL.

 

Unless you want to use an 8-pin, you can just get a 3/8"x7 rim for the small 7-spline, which is not the one listed in the IPLs. Look in a 262xp IPL if you need the part number.
