42" guide bar?

[xss409x]

First and foremost, I'm new here. So, hello to everyone.

Second, I'm looking for a 42" guide bar for my XP-1000. This saw is a monster at 100 cc's and should be capable of handling a bar of this size. So far, I haven't had much success in finding one that would fit it. Just wondering if someone here could point me in the right direction?
The saw uses a .404 pitch bar if it helps.

Thanks much!

You will just have to watch ebay. I don't think any bar manufacture is still making bars with the mount pattern of the XP. Is your current bar a sprocket tip or hard nose?

I have two Oregon 17750 bars .063 hard nose that will fit either the older direct drive or gear saws with the mount like the XP1000. It is 30" on gear saws and 33" on direct drives.

MCS;
I got the saw off of ebay without the bar and chain. Power head only. So, I have nothing to compare a new bar to. I've searched all over ebay and haven't came up with anything, yet. I'm still looking.


chainsawlady;
I really appreciate the offer. But, I would like to try and get a 42" bar. I have some 3 1/2 to 4 foot diameter oak logs I need to get cut up. I want to try and get through them in one cut. My SXLAO is a damn good saw, but not that good!
