.325 rim sprocket for 372xp

[Dinosaw]

Good morning chaps.

I am having great difficulty in finding an 8 pin .325 rim sprocket (large) to fit the 365 I have upgraded to a 372xp. I have several 18" .325 bars and would like to run one on this saw. Any source ideas? Thanks in advance...

Run it 3/8 it will be in a word: better.

 

I dont think a big 8 pin .325 sproket exists.

Mmmm.. that's what I'm finding. Thought I'd try it as an experiment as I have .325 bars and chains in the shed.

Only 9t .325 are available on the standard spline, so make sure you factor in a few more links

Ah yes! Quite right Eddy. Explains why I can't find an 8T! Cheers

That will be a beast on a 9t with .325

Check your 18" .325" bars will fit they as usually are small mount (Oregon K095)

 

365 and upwards require large mount (Oregon K009) unless you intend to modify.

 

It will be easier to put .325" sprocket or RSN on a large mount bar.

It doesn't, as it isn't possible to make. The drive tangs would interfere with the splines.

 

9-pin is the only fairly common .325 option, but larger ones are of course made.

Thanks for your replies guys, Bullman has a great site here, always great info and almost zero bovine ordure, unlike most of the ones from a more westerly direction!

3/8ths all the way imo
