Looking for a 24” guide bar for a C-72. I have a 30” with the part number 303ATMF014. I know the F014 is the mount but not sure what the number would be on a 24” bar. I found one on eBay that’s supposed to be a 25” but I’m sorta sceptical. Just want to make sure if I find one it’s correct for the saw

Just about anything that fits a Super XL up to the 750 will fit okay. The Oregon D196 or D096 style mount is what you are looking for. This image is from Mike Acre's site:  |

All the other "C" series saws take the F041 mount. Homelite literature states the C-72 takes the D196 mount at least for saws made in the late 70's early 80's. Do the oil holes line up with your F041 bar? |

Well I have what I thought was the F014 mount and it lines up and oils perfectly. I haven’t looked at the bar off of my SXL that close yet but I know it’s a little more narrow than the one on the c-72. There were obviously many many more bar sizes than I knew of. I have an older bar for the c-72 that’s a 21” and like I mentioned there’s a bush champ by Carlton listed as 25” on eBay. It doesn’t have to be 24 but I was thinking just a little smaller than the 30” it loads her up pretty good in that live oak

Wow,I'd have thought that the C-72 woulda hauled a 30 in.chain without a problem.I put the same size on my 450,of course I haven't tried it out yet.Maybe a bit too much?

Here’s a D196 Mount and a F014 Mount side by side. With the D196 bar on top of the F014 bar, the oil holes just don’t quite line up.   |

Thanks for the visual comparison Greg! It's not a perfect match, but one Homelite was happy with in the later years of production for the C-72. If you can find the F014, it clearly fits better but the D196 is a reasonable substitute.

Greg you either made that master service memo list or you have one helluva photographic memory! Great info there; I've done that "flip" trick before, but the bar plates I've run across have been late enough versions that I didn't need to file anything out.

Makes one wonder if the offset tension pin was designed to incorporate more flexibility into the choices of bars.
