Can you be a little more specific on what you mean by the right sprocket? Have you bought one and tried but it didn't fit? What pitch chain are you using. There is a number on the drive link that will tell us.
There are two styles of "sprockets" used. One style is referred to as a spur sprocket and the sprocket is welded to the drum. The other style uses a "hub and drum" with a replaceable rim. You buy the rim that matches the chain you use. In most cases the SXLAO runs 3/8 pitch chain but it looks like you saw is a 1970 so it could have .404 chain.

I havent got one yet, The origonal is a 3/8, 8teeth, spur sprocket.
It has A58745-1 stamped on it.Will a 7 teeth work?
Im not a collecter, just your average guy that likes old saws that work a start right up (like this one) i use it about every weekend cuting up fire wood with my dad. it has a new chain on it and it relly needs a new sprocket

The typical, standard, setup for the Super XL of the early '70s was a 7 tooth sprocket, 3/8 pitch chain, and 60 drive links on a 16" bar. What size bar are you using and how many links are in the new chain?
I can't find that part number in my IPL, but it is probably as old as the saw!

That makes sense and you should be able to run a 7 tooth without any problem.

oregon #30681X is the part that oregon recomens for my super xl AO. Yes, that is the spur sprocket but the rim setup is better. Hub and drum 30666X with rim 68210 Craig |
