Right, amateurs are hell on saws.

I grease up now and then, and it has never been a problem. An amazing amount of crud and stuff surprisingly gets close, but being in the sleeve like that seems to much protect the bearing from grit. I just figure a bearing is intended best to be lubricated. Wash and grease is my motto.

It's kind of the same debate on bar nose sprocket bearings. Grease seems to disappear rather quickly on those drum bearings, wonder if oil is better? I can't ever recall accessing one and seeing much in the way of grease still existing, mostly they just look rather dry. I guess the heat...

Sure is a beefier looking bearing. Yeah, I checked it out and see them offered for sale on ebay. The original old style bearing is still on the saw, and based on what you see written about them blowing out, even with the increased power, it is still somehow holding up. I might be one of the...

It's interesting about that saw series, as you know, Al, not a lot of ccs as you say, but bred for torgue, and Dean's exclamations about the 036 top end on the 034 case, especially when souped up with some cylinder and piston work, I found to be really on the mark. Still the 034 carb on it, but...

Thanks again for the information, Kevin. It seems pretty straight forward if the internal id of the bearing that fits the 044 drum, also fits the 034 driveshaft.

Kevin, I see that # as the rim and drum upgrade for the older 034 and 036 or 340/360 set, replacing the smaller bearing with the 16mm. No mention of it fitting the 044 that I can find, and a different part number for the 044 r and d. I assume it is still the smaller spline on that upgrade drum.

Certainly seems worth a try checking it out. Thanks a lot for the tip, Al. I'll let you know. When i stuck the 036 top end on there, I think I kept the original 034 clutch on it. You're thinking that I would need a clutch to match with the 044 drum, for some reason the 034 one won't work?

That does look aftermarket!

Thanks, Kevin. That company says nothing about their shipping policies, which almost always means that they won't ship abroad (so why even mention it in their web details?) I guess i could ask. Maybe if the sprockets wear quick they could be better hardened? I figure that I know the...

Kevin, have you used those Danzcoinc sprockets yourself and see that they wear quicker, or is that the word on them? Are they intended for racing saws? Thanks, Al, I was wondering if using another drum might work, but don't have a clue which might fit.

Thanks, but not looking for .325. For Stihl, there is the 3/8" pitch power mate small 7 spline 7 pin rim for the 028. 029, 034, 036, and 039, plus some MS series saws. There is also the 3/8" standard 7 spline 7 and 8 pin types that fit various other models up to the 066, but that won't go on...

Right, Carl, I got confused. I meant the smaller internal spline type sprocket in 8 pin, for the rim and drum system, for a Stihl 234 or 236, for example. Haven't been able to locate one, just the 7.

Does anyone know if they make the smaller diameter type sprocket for Stihl in 8 pin?
