Try some Oregon LPX chisel chain, unless your bar is a pixel/narrow kerf one! Stihl RS/RSC is fine as well, but not quite as good as LP/LPX. Of course it isn't a good ide to use chisel chain (like the ones I mentioned) is your wood is "dirty" - then it may be best to stay with semi chisel.
-
It isn't that unusual to run 3/8" on 50cc saws, so you don't really know that. See my post above though....
-
The bar will fit, no problem - but run it with an 8-pin if it is 3/8". If it is a .325 bar, run it with a 9-pin (a smaller one won't fit on the 461 clutch drum). The dl count of the chain may turn out to be an issue, you likely will need an extra dl with .325x9.
-
Some are, some aren't - Husky make a lot of bars themselves.
-
Balance, the saw likely is slightly rear heavy with a 13", like the 346xp - something I don't like at all!
-
I fail to see the point with putting a 13" bar on that saw.
-
The porting and often the casting quality and plating as well tend to be substandard.
-
An 18" 3/8" setup sounds like too much on that saw really. I have heard nothing but good about the Sugi light bars, but knows too little to comment on their other bars.

Has anyone got a 056 av Super Clutch cover with chain brake

Have you tried Ebay Germany? -
Stihl catalogs and websites, along with other sources.
-
It does, but that saw share the small (3005) bar mount with the MS200 etd, unlike the 024 and MS240 (3003 mount).
-
He can use the bars made for the Logosol (milling) setup on the MS660 etc, but I'm not sure they are made in short enough lengths....
-
Contra, Lightning and Contra-Lightning are just different names on the same things - the important issues is if it is an "S" or not (137cc top end), and if it is a "G" or not (geared down chain speed).
-
If they fit may vary with the stroke they are made for, The 2050 etc. has a 32mm stroke, some later Huskys and Jonsereds have a 32.5mm one.
-
... and the Partner 490 and 510....
-
You don't really have to check, what you posted is true.
-
Afaik, the MS260 should take the picco rims, but not the 560xp. What do you mean by "same size"? If they are made for the same pitch and gearing, the outside diameter will of course be the same, regardless what hub size (mini, small, standard) they are for.
-
True - and I actually believe the Stihl rims are made by Oregon, as the standard 7-spline ones looks exactly the same down to the grain of the metal, except for the text and numbers.
-
Sorry, I have to "arrest" you there - the 95VPX isn't low pro chain, it is narrow kerf chain.
-
Stihl mini 7-spline setups are not compatible with any other saw brand, and not even with the replacement drums that Oregon sell. As far as I know, picco rims are not made by Oregon for any other hub size (likely a Stihl imposed business agreement), but some "pin type" rims from "custom" makers have been occationally observed. The above is my impression of the situation, I am not 100% sure of everything, and it may of course change.
-
They fit on the original drum of the MS261, as it comes with the Stihl specific mini 7-spline.
-
The 365xt will perform like the 372xpxt if the restrictors in the transfer covers are ground away.
-
It is a plastic cased saw with a clamshell engine, so not at all a semi pro saw - just a large "homeowner" saw. Heavy, bad handling, overwhelmingly plasticy, bad AV, bad air filtration etc.... However, it will do what it was designed for.
-
As far as I know, it is 0000 642 1241, but it fits only the Stihl "mini 7-spline" drums, so hardly an option on your 357..
