Chainsaw Repair

I think I recognize that long bar.

A D276 with added oil holes.  Works great on my G621 clone.  No problem drilling the holes with an HSS bit.

Good job.  You basically converted it to a D176 mount.

You'd only have to open up the stud slot a hair to make it work fine on a D009 saw.

Well poop. John Deere collector wanted my JD 800V PHO. So now I have that 36" D176 bar I got from Aaron and new full skip 116dl chain wondering what to run it on or convert to fit D009.   

Never did get down to cut those big poplars with it being that was all the scramble to get the set up for. Fishing has over road all dropping of tress right now.

I do think I am going to get stupid  and put a 7T on that echo 702 and giver her a test session for chits though. It pulls a 8T 24" like nothing so what the heck.   

Sold yellow one so going to try on the old orange one.    I should no better but what the heck.

Troof! I recently converted one of those NOS Sandvik 24" bars from A176 to D009. Opening the stud slot was pretty straightforward with a double cut burr on my dremel. The more challenging part was lengthening the stud slot forward, to allow enough travel for chain installation.

I laid a regular D009 over the bar to be modified, and blacked out with a sharpie all material to be removed. I then used a thin cut off wheel on my dremel to cut the additional length the slot needed to be.

On the forward curve, I used a punch to mark center, then used a series of progressive bits to cut the new front of the stud slot, and in the process finish removing the extra length I cut with the thin wheel.

I did the same on a NOS 18" Tsumura rotary tip, and I can tell you that the Japanese steel is much more difficult to modify.

28 and 36" bars.

Both D276?  Why is one smaller then other.  Dont know these at all except what I am learning here.

Just click the thumbnail pic to make pics bigger size for seeing bigger.

On pics.  It is easier to use a outside host like Photobucket etc. As they resize auto for you. Reason I keep embedded pics size small is I pay for the space used here.
