560 xp guide bar

[jeanesy]

Wonder if anyone could help. I've just received a new 560xp and had it converted to run 3/8 chain. The guide bar that's come with the saw is for 3/8 chain but for love nor money I can't fit the side case on because the chain tensioner pin won't go into the hole on the bar, it just doesn't line up. Its a stock husqvarna bar. Just wondering what bars people are using if they've changed the sprocket to 3/8. Cheers.

Sounds like it could be the large mount bar

[jeanesy]

Yeah I thought it had to be for a larger saw. The hole is just a little too far out. Had a look on the Jones website and seems i may struggle to find a bar.

I don't know why it doesn't fit but I'm happily running oregon multicut 325 on a Sugi bar and 8 pin drive sprocket, really well balanced and so how about trying it unless you have a pile of 3/8 chain to use up?

[jeanesy]

Yeah perhaps I should have. I just prefer 3/8 for cutting and my other saw runs 3/8.

I agree with keeping the same, everything is 15" bar and 325, the processor, and all small saws, upto 60cc. Then it goes 3/8.

 

I found the multicut the same as Stihl chain, but lasts longer, I cut 30 tonnes of firewood and never sharpened it, the cutters were sharp and polished... but don't use narrow kerf oregon, I could get through a bar a day on the processor, and the chain is poor as well.

508 91 41-DL is the bar number you require.

Cheers for the help fellas

You just need a small Husky mount (K095) 3/8" bar.

 

My 560xpg is set up that way, with a 16" Husky branded ProLite bar and a 20" Tsumura Light bar.

 

They are easily availiable, you just have to know what you need.
