325 to 3/8

[Eddy_t]

If it was all about chain speed they would be running 8x404:001_rolleyes:

 

 

 

I sometimes run my dolly on 9x325 with a 15" pixel bar and chain.:thumbup1:Must get some 50 guage RS

 

 

 

My 365 spends most of its time on 8x3/8 with 15"bar and RS chain.

 

 

 

Where can you get a D009 in 325 ?

 

 

 

I was thinking would have to change the nose sprocket on a 3/8 bar to 325.

 

 

8t .404 is discontinued, and very damn rare, trust me, I'm after a rim in that size!

 

And regarding the bar, husky make them, but it's difficult to get the part numbers! They come in 14, 15, 18 and 20 inch bars only.

I have a custom made 9 tooth .404 and a 9 tooth 3/8 both racing sprockets if you are interested ?

Haha! That would be interesting on the 090!

The speed cutter...also a full timer obviously...was using a 560 xp ..3/8 with 15 inch bar...but unfortunately I didnt get round to asking about sprocket etc.

 

Not going to get into the what's faster debate - but I have the 15" Sugihara bars in all guises in 15" found here (so as not to upset the guide bar selector!).

I think the reason when these type of threads throw up a lot of answers is because there is no right answer!

 

Soooooo many variables - what wood your cutting/what chain you use/how you sharpen/is saw modded/is saw running correctly etc etc.

 

You change just one of the above and it could be a different set up that is quicker.

 

I would set yourself up with different drive rims and see what works for you.

 

Also the chain type and how it is sharpened - experiment with both Stihl and oregon chisel and micro chisel (x4 diferent chains) to see what works best...

Did the maths, I've uprated my 090 to 8k rpm, 9 tooth is going to put the speed to a lovely 23.5m/s. This may not sound a lot (8t on most modern saws will put the speed over 24m/s) but what has to be remembered, is that this series of saw was designed to pull 10 feet of blunt chain through 20+ feet trees!

hello i got a question is the sachs dolmar 116 SI a K095 OR K153 bar mount they look similar spacings but the chain adjuster hole and oil hole seems smaller on the K153 bar

My original S-D bar (and 1990's Dolmar replacement) , are wider bars than K095 with smaller adjuster holes.

 

The Oregon bar selector lists K095 mount for the 116Si.

 

K153 appears to be Large mount.

 

Husky small mount bars seem to fit O.K

 

The bigger holes on K095 will allow fitment to other saws aswell as small mount Husky and small mount Dolmar.

 

My "Wildcat" is a 1984 56cc 116.

thanks for that , i was looking through the new oregon catalogue and they listed k153 mounts which threw me so now that makes it easier

Sorry to hijack. I'm in the market for a 372 (old model) to run on an 18" bar.

 

I have an 18" .325 Sugi bar handy (having just bumped my 357 down to 15").

 

Would an 8t .325 sprocket for a 357 fit a 372 so I could run my bar on the 372?

No, 372xp is d009 mount in both forms, and also has the standard size rim, so 9t is the only option

But... You may be interested in these part numbers
