gb guide bars

[blazer296]

I have a c-71 that runs good but am having trouble finding a new bar. The only ones I have found so far are almost at bottom here www.psep.biz/store/homelite_gb_guide_bars.htm#GBH30_63PA

They have a 21", and 30" that are supposed to fit c-series. I have never seen any of these GB bars though.

Anyone have any experience with them??

Thanks in advance for any info.

I don't know what you use the C for but look at this: www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=ORLT+20+BH63&catID=704
$20 is pretty good deal but it is not sprocket nose.

I can't imagine the GB bar wouldn't be OK especially since new bars for the older Homelites are getting fewer and fewer.

Here's the link to their homepage: www.gbbar.com.au/

Are you set up to run 3/8" x .063 chain

I use this one and my superxl for storm cleanup, and firewood for my lake lot. Also to help my dad clean up on the farm, when he needs a bigger saw. The super xl is a 16, so this 24 goes pretty good w/ it. I should have mentioned before I don't realy want to go any smaller than the 24" as that would null the point of haveing the "bigger" saw.

I am not to worried about the roller tip, just that was the first (and only) bar I found for a c-series homelite. $20 for a 20" is good deal, now if they just had a 24" for $24.
As far as the 3/8 x .063, I am not sure, I remember that mine is 3/8 but I want to say .058. I realy need to check, but a drive sprocket shouldnt b hard to find.

Thanks for the reply,
Jim

I am running a G-B 42" on my "hot-rod" C5 with a .404 chain and I am very happy with it cutting maple and ash.
