Do You Know How To Measure A Chain Saw Blade And Chain?
Is your chainsaw starting to seem dull and not perform as well? Looks like it's time to replace the chain. In order to do this, you will need to know the length of both the chainsaw blade as well as the length and size of your chain. If you've checked out the manufacturers' charts, they might seem a little overwhelming. But it really is pretty simple once you understand what's involved in the length of the blade and chainsaw chain.
When you're ready to replace your chain, the first thing to do is determine the size of your chainsaw bar. If you happen to have an Oregon chainsaw, this should be easy. Just check the first two numbers of the ten-digit model number that is stamped on the motor end of the blade. That's your chainsaw bar length.
Don't have an Oregon chainsaw that easily shows you the length of the blade? Then here are some tips for figuring it out yourself.
What's The Best Way To Measure A Chain Saw Blade?
To measure the chainsaw blade itself is simple enough to do. Just put your measuring tape at the end of the bar up against the casing and measure straight down the bar all the way to the tip of the blade.
Blade and bar are two terms that are both used to indicate the same item. This is the blade that extends from the casing of the motor and carries the chain which is what does the sawing for you.
Manufacturers were kind enough to standardize the chainsaw blade lengths into two-inch increments. The most common sizes are 16, 18, and 20 inches although the full range goes from 10 to 42 inches! When you measure your blade, round up to the nearest 2-inch measurement if needed.
Measuring A Chainsaw Chain
To measure the chain on your chainsaw, there are two things you will need to know ... the number of drive links and the pitch of the chain.
A drive link is simply a tooth on the chain and your chain's length is determined by the number of drive links (or teeth). The pitch of the chain also affects the size of the drive links.
The pitch of the chain is important to know as it must match the pitch of both the drive sprocket as well as the bar nose sprocket. This should be stamped on the drive link but if you need to measure the pitch yourself, take the distance between any 3 rivets of the chain and divide by 2.
As an example, a 1/4" pitch chain might have 52 drive links and be 2.17 feet in length, while a 3/8" pitch with 52 drive links would be 3.18 feet in length. So the pitch affects the drive link size which affects your blade's length.
Still unsure? Just check with your chain saw's manufacturer or anyone who makes chains and they will be able to clear up any confusion you may have.

 The Alligator Lopper's wide 4-inch jaw capacity easily chews through small trunks and logs. |
 Because the Alligator Lopper cuts side-to-side instead of up and down, the chain won't bury itself in the ground when the cut is completed -- saving wear and tear on the cutting surface. |
 The Alligator Lopper's controlled, smooth cutting action makes clean-up from storms or simple pruning easy, safe, and fast. |
Black & Decker offers both cordless and electric chain saws, including the Alligator Lopper electric chain saw and 18-volt cordless chain saws. Chain saws feature powerful motors for fast cutting and a sturdy, lightweight design that makes them exceptionally easy to use.
The Alligator Lopper Makes Cutting a Breeze
Take a big bite out of fallen trees, tree limbs and brush with the Alligator Lopper -- a revolutionary cutting tool that provides chainsaw-like cutting performance in an un-intimidating tool. With its scissor-like action, the Alligator Lopper’s rugged metal jaws clamp onto logs, thick branches, tree limbs, and vines -- and then saw right through them. Once limbs and branches are on the ground, the Alligator Lopper is perfect for chopping them up into manageable pieces to throw away or chuck into your fireplace.
This amazing saw boasts a rugged 4.5 amp motor for fast, powerful chomping through wood -- plus a heavy-duty cutting bar and chain to really chew through dense branches and logs. This model also features auto chain tensioning to keep the tool in top cutting form. Just loosen the bar retainer bolts with the included wrench and the bar automatically takes out the slack and adjusts the chain’s tension perfectly.
The Alligator Lopper’s jaws offer the ultimate in controlled cutting. The rugged metal guards that cover the jaws protect you from the cutting chain, and they immediately snap back over the blades once the cut is complete. The Alligator Lopper’s jaws also mean that there's no skipping around at the start of a cut. Unlike traditional chainsaws, the lopper cuts side-to-side instead of from top to bottom. This sideways cutting action prevents the cutting chain from burying itself in the dirt as the chain completes its cut.
The Alligator Lopper also makes it much faster and easier to cut logs, because you'll never need to prop them up on saw horses or on other any other brace. Just grab the logs in the Alligator Lopper’s jaws and cut right through them.
Key Technical Specs:
- Power: 4.5 amps
- Bar length: 6 inches
- Jaw capacity: 4 inches
Applications
The Alligator Lopper is ideal for tree pruning, clearing brush, storm clean-up, cutting firewood and more, and it’s a great alternative to chainsaws, manual loppers, handsaws and clippers.

Where to Buy Carburetors
One might need a carburetor for various reasons. Very often, in the case of old cars and bikes, the need is greater since availability is less. Newer vehicles usually do not have carburetors.
Like any other part of a car or a mechanical instrument, the carburetor also undergoes wear and tear and needs replacement. There are many places where carburetors are available; however, where to get the one best suited to your needs could pose a problem. Here are some tips on how to go about it
The first thing that you need to know is why you need a carburetor. If the vehicle is relatively new, one can buy your carburetors direct from the factory and save a lot of money. Furthermore, the chances of getting original carburetors are better.
One can also try for carburetors at the local auto parts store. However, these would be more expensive than factory direct carburetors or those that are available on the Internet.
However, if one is looking for a carburetor that is not commonly available, as in the case of old or antique vehicles, one needs to be resourceful in their search. One place where you just might get it is a junkyard in your city, where old cars are piled up. However, it is a time-consuming effort and at the end of it you may not find the carburetor that you are looking for.
Hence, for many practical reasons, the Internet is one of the best options for locating the carburetor that you need. Be it buying a factory direct carburetor or an antique carburetor for your vehicle, there will be someone somewhere with an offer for you. However, as with anything that is out of circulation, the cost of the carburetor will depend upon how well you are able to negotiate with the person who is selling it.

Need Husqvarna Chain Saw Parts? - How to Save on Chainsaw Parts
It can sometimes turn up pretty challenging getting replacement Husqvarna chain saw parts.
Best thing to do is to take good care of your Husqvarna chainsaw. If you don't then it could end up costing you quite a lot to get new Husqvarna chain saw parts to exchange those that are damaged.
Some people may even choose to replace the whole chain saw instead of getting replacement parts
Still, if you spent time on taking care of yours on a regular basis then these vital parts of the equipment would last substantially longer.
Taking good care of your Husqvarne chain saw can make sure it will work at maximum force for a longer period of time.
The warmest advice would be to maintain your chainsaw regularly and avoid problems and having to search for chainsaw parts.
A good idea is to buy your chainsaw from a dealer who provides a good quality back up service and is able to obtain parts required very easily.
Some chainsaw dealers specialize in Husqvarna chain saws ans would be able to provide a complete line of parts once needed.
Here are a few tips for your chainsaw that may keep you from looking for Husqvarna chain saw parts:
The main thing about maintaining your Husqvarna chain saw is to check it before starting any work, particularly if it has not been used for a while. If your chainsaw is petrol powered before storing it away drain all fuel from the tank. You should also drain out the oil from your chainsaw so it would not thicken.This way not only will you ensure that your equipment continues working at its most efficient degrees, but will ensure that the costs to repair it are kept low and you'll not be searching for chainsaw parts. Another essential thing to do is to look at the saw's blade and check the teeth on the blade. Make sure none of them are broken or it would be tough to do the work you intend to do. Also, look at the chain and sprocket. Make sure the tension of the chain is right or again you'll have a hard time getting the job you need done. Don't forget to check the motor as well. Look for lose screws. Remove any dust or debris that might be left from the previous job done. This would make sure your work is easily done, you save on Husqvarna chain saw parts and your chainsaw is in top condition.
