Now here's one that's got me jiggered. Boss man says to me after work can you get me a new bar for my 660... No worries mate!!
so I remove the bar and find it to be a 24 inch 3/8 Oregon bar. I leap in the cruiser and leg it into the local Stihl shop. No Oregon bars but of course have Stihl bars but 25 inch... No worries I'll have on of them and lengthen the chain if needs be.
Next day comes and go to fit new bar to chain around nose first as always... Chain runners don't fit around the nose..."you what?"
I then install spectacles to the bridge of my nose to see that the saw has a 404/7 drive sprocket and 404 chain...
Could this mean that someone may have installed a 404 nose to 3/8 bar and got it to somehow work?
Disclaimer 1; I have used chainsaws for more than half my natural life, I have used 404 gear on all my Stihls since I don't know when but this one made me look like a proper idiot.
Disclaimer 2; I could have googled to find answers yes.... But why not throw it on the forum for gurus likeBobL to explain I reckon:D
