|---|---|---|
| 16″ | 67 DL | Chain → Bar · 3003 → |
| 18″ | 74 DL | Chain → Bar · 3003 → |
Drive-link counts come from STIHL's saw-chain catalog. Bar searches include mount 3003 / D025; still confirm the mount stamp, pitch, gauge and drive-link count on your installed bar before ordering.
Files, oil & sharpening
Suggested match: Oregon 95-series (95VPX) / 21–22 LPX. 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.
