So today I recived my two GB Arbor Pro bars. A little disappointed. First the order was supposed to have chains with them, no chains. I called Left Coast Supply, they were great and said they'll send two chains out to me. Then I saw this... That's right, a missing rivet in the tip for the sprocket. I emailed GB. Hopefully they respond quickly and maybe send me a new tip to replace the defective one
Ok well that was quick! Hi Ryan, thank you for your enquiry. We manufacture some noses for customers that are designed to be used with a safety tip. The safety tip locates into the square hole and is held in place with a screw that goes into the empty hole where the rivets are. I have included an image of the safety tip to hopefully make it clearer. Rather than make two different types of the same nose, we now only make one type that will do both jobs. We have done extensive testing with the nose that only has three rivets and it performs exactly the same as the nose with the four rivets. If you purchased two of the same bar then my guess is that you received one of the older noses and one of the current noses. You will have no problems with either. I hope this clears up this matter for you. Regards,
Umm .. am I the only one that notices a missing rivet in the sprocket hub? EDIT: Doink!! I'ts very similar to how Homelite used to do it ....
If you have a square hole and missing rivet, GB says its fine! I'm curious as to how these bars are going to hold up. But for $11 it's worth a shot.
Is this the same bar that you got 18″ Arbor Pro Bar – GBF HV18-58MG – D009 Mount – 3/8″ .058″ I ordered 2 of these wasn't sure if chains were included
Yes I ordered two of them also. Website listing says chains included. But they weren't in the package. I called them and they said they would send them out. Hopefully yours get packaged.
Nice saw like the tool holder stihl got nothin on that I like that Miller I like the looks of the bars alot Its my Initials GB going to throw one on this check it outhttp://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/threads/husqered-65.5280/
Looks more stihl orange to me on the GB bar. but the tool holder is awesome. The GB stands for Green Bay as far as I'm concerned.
Tool holder=3/8 fuel line. Two holes drilled in it and zip tied to the handle. My boss is a Green Bay fan, I don't like my boss. Stihl orange, Husqvarna orange, Jonsered orange. They all look the same
I wouldn't be to fond of that square hole getting debris and possibly messing with the sprocket. Sounds like a great buy though.
