    Right where I want to be.
    And was finally able to grab the saw from the shed today. I had a couple sprockets in a box too, so those came along to the shop.
    One of these was on the saw, the other in the box..........they look warn to me. Am I correct?
    The other in the box will work (3/8-7) for the B&C, so these don't matter right now.
    I'll toss 'em if they're no good, but need verification.

    Thanks for that info.
    Hey, that looks like the one that's about to go on the saw. :yes:
    Another question.....what grease should be used on the bearing, if any. Good idea to replace that while I'm in there?
    Lots of cleaning to do, so I have time to get another if needed.

    The bearing is probably OK if it's reasonably snug on the crankshaft. An ordinary lithium grease will do. If you have one of those bar sprocket grease guns use it.

    Great. I have one here somewhere.
    If not, I'll see what grease is in the gun.

    Bearings are cheap. Feel free to replace it if you would like.
