Stopped greasing nose sprockets . Now they don't fail . I think the grease attracts grit and dirt increasing he risk of failure so don't bother any more . Seems to be working fine for the last 5 years or so .......

As above - I don't tend to bother greasing nose sprockets and on the whole the bar's worn before the sprocket goes.

 

But, for greasign the clutch drum bearing, the only grease gun that I've found to work consistently are these ones Grease Gun - New Saw Chains It says single use on the ad but have refilled mine no prob.

 

I had one of the metal oregon ones too and it was cack - used to leak everywhere and hardly ever worked.

Where does the dirt get in, through the grease hole ? If there's a grease point on anything I grease it.

why does the husky bar need greasing when the stihl ones don't?

 

They don't, unless you started doing it - then you have to follow up.

 

What needs to be greased now and then (but not weekly as the manual says) is the clutch bearing - and that is really easy on the Husky saws, with the grease gun, and the hole in the end of the crankshaft.

I never had an issue with the stock ones, except that it took some time to figure out how to refill them....:001_tt2:
