    Parts required
    MS250 side chain adjuster- 1123 007 1000
    Screw- 9075-478-3015

    Remove clutch cover, bar, and chain. Pop out the old front chain adjuster with a screw driver. Install the new side chain adjuster and screw. Re-install bar, chain, and clutch cover.

    The two chainsaw cases are made alike in that area.

    Great tip! Five of my saws are front adjuster and it is one part of the saws that I wish I could change. Cheers!

    I'm not sure that all saws would be as easy to convert as this one.
