    Title says it all. Looking for something lightly used to NOS condition with a roller or sprocket nose.

    Some 360's had what was basically a K095 bar mount, while others had a D096/D196/UXL mount. Put the wrong bar on there and it won't oil. Does the saw have a bar now............and if so, does/did it oil correctly?

    Thanks guys, I went back out to the shop and looked at this thing again. The original bar looks like it was a D096/D196 bar (home lite branded) and I bought a NOS Windsor bar to make this thing chooch. The tensioner holes on the new bar were too far apart for the tensioner to fit correctly without modifying the outer guide plate. Also only one tensioner hole had the hole for oiling through the tensioner. So I ran a dremel cutting disc in the bar groove to get another oiling slot on the opposite tensioner hole. Then I clamped the original bar over the new bar to compare the mount pattern. Wound up "moving" each tensioner hole about 1/8" in-board towards the center slot with the Dremel and a small tungsten carbide burr. She's all gooder now. :dremel::thumbs:

    On a side note, this thing rips! A helluva lot snottier than I expected for a nearly 40 year-old 57cc saw.:saw:
