Hi Wyk, Off out shortly to walk dogs for an hour or so then back to finish the Ash..

You see, they like each other.

 

Would be such a shame to separate them!

Without wanting to appear outwardly thick ....The replacement chain listed in the owners manual is 513 496 664 (3/8" chain)....looking on the Makita web site that part number relates to different saw models...the stated chain on the Makita website for the 5121 suggests 2 x variations of a .325" pitch chain?!

 

What should I be looking for when ordering a spare chain for the standard 18" bar please?

Look at what is on there now . Should be written on the bar if you can't tell by looking at the chain . You might be running 3/8 or you might be running .325 . If you don't want to have to change the drive sprocket and the bar get the same .

Thanks Stubby.......what pro's/cons would there be in changing to .325 assuming that it's 3/8 currently?

That's similar diameter to the section of trunk that still lays where it fell in my garden...I'd prefer to get it into the horse but I'll need help with that! looking forward to trying out the 5121 on it the saw is blasting through the smaller stuff with ease.

Might appeal to a woman whereas logic and practicality would have no place at all.
