No oil hole on 12 inch oregon bar

[Jsc]

Have decided to dump the husky bar on T540xp and go for an oregon 12 inch bar - but after having a look at it I noticed it has no oil hole.

[Jsc]

Any ideas why this would be - I have ended drilling the bar to create the oil holes as low and behold it wasn't oiling.

I would have taken it back . There may be a whole batch of faulty bars sitting there ....

Could of course be faulty - but it is more likely that the bar you looked at has a bar mount pattern without a seperate oiler hole - like K041 or A041. A lot of smaller saws does use those mount patterns.

 

If so, the upper adjuster hole doubles as a oiler hole but that doesn't work on saws that take the K095/A095.

Neat trick !

What was the part number of the bar you bought? As said above some bars oil through the tensioner hole - sounds like you have one of these.

 

 

Not a faulty bar - just the wrong bar!

The model number is 120SPEA041.

 

I sent the first bar back as it had no oil hole and was assured that the replacement was correct for the husky oiler - it wasn't.

 

As I was relying it for work on Friday I drilled a hole in the bar (in the same location as that on the tech lite bar). Oils fine now but not what I would have preferred to have done.

 

I wish husqvarna would have offered a better bar and chain combo originally.

What stops the oil from going straight through the bar if it uses the tensioner hole ?

.....

 

The seller should have know that isn't a correct bar for that saw......

There has to be something that blocks the opening on the outside of the bar.
