Guide bar problem

[peatff]

14" bar and chain looks unused on gumtree for £35, 3/8" .050. He's got some old ones on as well for £10.

I fail to see what is the issue here?

Quick question.

Its the first time i have needed to buy a guide bar and struggling to find one

its 13 inches and i cant seem to find a 13in bar for 020

They all seem to be 12" or 14".

 

Right so am i measuring wrong! That would make sense

It's not really an issue.

He's unsure of what he needs so he has asked for help to decide as people do and hopefully now has more idea of what is needed.

Quick question.

 

Bought an old 020 a couple of years ago second hand and have decided to change the bar as it looked pretty old when i got it and is now well worn.

 

Its the first time i have needed to buy a guide bar and struggling to find one:confused1:

its 13inches and i cant seem to find a 13in bar for 020

They all seem to be 12" or 14". Seen some 13" bars for other saws but have a different number of drive links than the chains i got (current chains are 50DL)

 

I dont mind going down to 12" if it makes life easier but do like the longer bar and have just bought a new chain today for it and also would it mean changing the sprocket if i went down to 12"?

 

Hi mate I think I may have one out there thanks Jon
