Hi guys
First time on the forum. Glad it’s here.
I had an 18” Echo cs-440 with an Oregon bar (and Oregon chains) but it seized after 15 years. I’m shocked it lasted that long.
I replaced it with an 18” Stihl ms261.
I’m wondering if I can use the old chains on the new saw. The number on the Oregon chains is 23. The number on my full chisel Stihl chains is 3 but the part number on the box starts with a 23-xxxxxxxx etc
I just want to use the old chains for dirty work like trees with dirt or the chance of a fence staple and keep the full chisel for the good work.
I don’t want to wreck the sprocket so I figured I’d ask before I did anything.
Thanks in advance.
Drew
