261 clutch drum bearing.

Can you elaborate on the Rim V spur issue ?

 

Hi also some info in this thread:

Has anyone tried using an aftermarket bearing from SKF or similar? seems SKF use a glass reinforced polymer, maybe its a more durable? cant seem to find any steel cage needle roller bearings on google.

I found one in a skip with a duff crank end, replaced the worm gear as the end was lopped off and a new spur sprocket, bearing and some grease it's been okay since, regular greasing to keep on top of it. But some monkey picked it out of the truck and was revving the nuts off it and slamming the chain brake on hard and full chat. Now there seems a lot of play in the sprocket.

 

I'm trying to source a new crank but I refuse to pay £220 for a crank for a saw I found in a bin. Anyone know any aftermarket suppliers or have a smashed up 261 laying about?

some one told me that long periods of leaving the saw idling and poor maintenance can fudge yer crank confucius say change your clutch drum bearing regularly they are only pennies
