30 in.bar

[Deleted]

Hi all,I just bought my first Homelite on EBay,a 450.I need to know where I can get a 30 in.bar (& chain) to fit this beast.I've tried EBay & Leon's,but it seems that the closest I can come to it is a 24 in.Oregon bar.I already have a 24 in.bar on a saw that I bought special last spring to take down a tree for my neighbor.I don't have the saw yet,but I know it has an 18 in.bar & chain that come with it - way undersized in my opinion.A good used bar & chain (or just a bar) would be acceptable.Any help is greatly appreciated.I believe that the current bar is .50 gauge & 3/8 pitch.Thanks!

Welcome to the House of Homelite.

Finding big bars can be a challenge, seems everyone wants one (I have a 32" for my SXLAO's). They are used commercially so they get worn out unlike the little bars.

Check with chainsawlady, houseofhomelite.proboards.com/user/411. She was a dealer for 50 years and has lots of NOS bars.

Others will be along who may also have what you are looking for. Good Luck.

Don't forget to make sure the pitch and gage of the bar are correct for your sprocket and the chain you choose.

Here’s a 32 inch bar that will fit. They don’t list the 450, but it’s the same mount as the saws listed.
