Echo 2511t

Anyone have the Stihl 1/4" drum part number? Is it the same as on the 150t?

No but Nutballs mods are still rocking it!

Echo has a 1/4" part number for their saw. The Stihl 150t and 151t come with 1/4" stock, and you have to search for 3/8 if they still make it.

A556001710 for the 2511t

Does that 1/4 inch Echo fit any 1/4 pitch chain, specifically Stihl. I only run Stihl chain. I dislike sharpening and tightening all the time. The 1/4" Stihl stretches a lot for Stihl, IMO.

I have run Oregon, Stihl, and Archer 1/4 chains on that Echo sprocket, but compatibility on bar sprockets is different. Running a modified Stihl bar with Stihl chain will work, and I think Archer's version of the chain works on the Stihl bar too, and doesn't have the safety bumpers making it more like a yellow chain.

I basically have run Stihl exclusively for 98% of my time, barring the Echo 2511t. Never tried hybrids between brands.

I picked the bar and chain up at the Stihl dealer, I think, but they would have had to order the sprocket. The guy helping me was in his early 20s and had as much experience with parts as a guy in his early 20s.

Sometimes I forget that I've bought necessary things with so many plates spinning on sticks. I just spotted the new bar the other day. I just found 2 brand new rigging ropes in my shop. Cardboard boxes are hard to see through. You have to open the top.

Kinda like free ropes. Great, as my recently new 200' rigging rope is now 110' and 90', somehow. I forgot how I knicked it. Out of the norm for me. Probably under a felled tree.
