COULD i REPLACE THE 16" BAR AND CHAIN WITH A LARGER 18"??

Yes easily. Mine came w/ a 18" bar. My uncle bought one w/ a 16" & we swapped out the bar w/ a 18" easily.

Unfortunately, the diameter of the part which goes inside the bar end is about 14 mm... Won't fit... You can maybe find a way to adapt it somehow.

I'm just took a look at my bar and I don't think it will adjust to such a small width without shortening the bar. This would be easy enough to do with a handsaw although you would lose some of the outward bow.

you should take the original bar and chain combo to get a suitable match. don't trust generic replacements.

You buy the cross bar sized to fit your chain saw bar. Probably need a 24" cross bar set to fit a 20" chain saw bar

I don't know. I have a Big Boyz Toyz saw and had to adapt because I changed the bar from 10" to 8". They could not help so I searched the net until I located a bar which resembled the original. It works OK for me as I drilled an extra hole to enable me to adjust the slack as the bar is only about 2" in width. I would suggest there are other factors to take into account. I suspect the drive sprocket on my saw is purpose made and could be slightly smaller in diameter than standard. For me it was an experiment that has worked. When the chain stretches, as they do, I will need to get it shortened by one link. Hope this helps with your choice.

Probably. The only potential issue I see is if the old cluster was thinner you might not have enough frame clearance for a wider 6 speed. Also you will probably have to replace the chain at the same time. Especially if the cluster is pretty worn out.

Sorry,I listed the wrong poulan part # . The correct chain part # is 966051603. The psrt# listed earlier is for the bar. My apologies for the misinformation

I cannot say as I have a CSP 4518 which fits the bar very well, but my drive sprocket is incompatible with the chain. I need to check out the correct sprocket and buy one.

You could remove the 5 feet or so of the existing chain and replace it with the length you require with a visit to the hardware store.

No. If you're replacing a big chainring, you can use the existing bolts. If you're adding the Guard to a 2x setup, you may need to get longer bolts to accomidate the guard's extra width.

Depends on the pitch of your current chain if it's 3/8 or.325 . Itis stamped on your current bar close to where it is bolted to the saw

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

I am using a Stijl 036 with a standard ripping chain. It works but could use more power. One solution may be the specialty bar with the narrow chain. More $. So unless I have more than occasional use, I'll make do.

14 inch bar, so you buy chain to match the 14 inch bar. It will say for 14 inch bar. S

Nope. I hope you have better luck than I did. I did order an extra bar and chain as they were pretty cheap. I sent it all back and it was accepted. Never used the new bar or chain.

According to the info supplied with my chains you will need a different size.
