Chainsaw Repair

I am fiddling around with the 18" Husqvarna bar for Craftsman version of the Poulan 5020 chainsaw power head.  The slot seems tight but will mount with a press fit.  I do not have the 18" 3/8" chain that came with this Husqvarna Rancher 55 take off bar, or least can't remember where I put it years ago.  I modeled with the D70 20" chain for fit up purposes only but not starting or running it as is until the proper chain is obtained and installed, I think 66 DL or something like that if I remember correctly.

Additional score- I found a small tub full of McCulloch BP-1 chainsaw power head fairings and body covers for BP-1 saw #2 I had forgot I had that I had shelved many years ago when I inherited the saws while still on active duty in the US Navy.

>Hey Chy are you a wood cutter, collector,  like to restore old saws.    Do you burn fire wood.     Welcome.

Hello, may be a small collector and like to restore/tinker old saws, but do not burn them though.

Now going through a project on my Echo CS-651T, an old twin at the Chainsaw Collectors Forum.

Put a file to that slot and open it up a little.  Also the bar should say on it how many DL it will take.

Was at work, got home and verified the bar has on it is 68DL.  Yes the bar slot is a little tight on the grip length or stud shank and should be filed slightly.  New chain is on the way.  Thanks.

Not much different in length. 68DL v/s 70DL   I would drop down to a 60DL in 3/8

Had a contra S in for repair

All chainsaw projects have been shelved. If they were my own.  Just no time to fiddle with my own projects.

Wife informed me both mini tillers were leaking fuel and no start. 

2 mini tillers yesterday readied for flower beds.  Both just needing return lines.  1 broke off at tank other just ****. Coudnt see the crack  till pushing on primer then it shows up.

Like the nice easy fixes.
