Pitch & gauge 3/8″ Picco · .050″ · recommended bar 12–14″ · bar mount 3005 / A074 · round file 5/32" (4.0 mm)
Chain & bar by length
| Bar | Drive links | Shop |
|---|---|---|
| 12″ | 44 DL | Chain → Bar · 3005 → |
| 14″ | 50 DL | Chain → Bar · 3005 → |
Drive-link counts come from STIHL's saw-chain catalog. Bar searches include mount 3005 / A074; still confirm the mount stamp, pitch, gauge and drive-link count on your installed bar before ordering.
Files, oil & sharpening
Suggested match: Oregon 90/91-series (e.g. 91PX). Confirm the drive-link count for your exact bar length before ordering. These are equivalent aftermarket (Oregon) chains, not genuine STIHL chain — STIHL sells its own chain through its dealer network, and we're not affiliated with STIHL. New to fitment? See the bar-mount identification guide and chain & cutter guide.
