Default Re: Longer bar for a 361?

um... on the 361 I've got the "easy" one forgot which is which.

But my 028 has the "difficult" one, which is why I need the change out kit.

To clarify, I'm not chaning out the sprocket on the 361, I'm doing it to the much older 028 so that I can swap bars between the two and maintain using 3/8" all around.

For the changeover, parts was about $55US and labor was $15US. Total of $70US for the swap on the 028 from .325 to 3/8"

But like I mentioned, they didn't have the change-out kit in stock, so I just picked up a RM chain in .325 18" for the 028 to let one of my guys use for this job.


Btw, I was considering using that big Mac I was just given, but I noticed it's got a push-operated oiler on it. Wasn't sure if that's to provide *additional* lube, or if it was the only means of oiling the bar and chain. Decided not to find out on this job, which starts at 5am tomorow morning.
