Friend loaned his 500 out to a 21 year old know it all (by friends description) that ran the saw so long the chain had got real loose and came off. The guy took apart to try and put chain on. Somewhere in all of this the outer bar plate got lost in the field cutting area. Guy brought in a Partner 500 today that has lost the outer bar plate between clutch cover and bar. Now when he tightens the cover down it somehow is stopping chain from moving. I never seen this on all the partner 500 5000 jonsered 490 590 poulan 325 I have owned. Personally I used to ditch the outer bar plates myself. Will dig in later. #Post#: 57684-------------------------------------------------- Re: partner 500 By: Chainsawrepair Date: May 4, 2015, 5:26 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Fun day. Not. :D Front brake locked up on truck in town :o :-X :-X. Waiting for everything to cool down on truck. Decided to put new blades and deck back on big rider. Then dug into this partner 500. I removed everything to check as I go. Bar 050, measured drive link and showing 050. But I wonder what the heck is B2 stamped on the drive links would mean. In my mind I would think 058. Thats why I measured DL. Also chain had some weird 3 circle stamp all over it. Anyhow. Back together and works fine without the outer bar plate. Just like my saws did. Loved the sound of the ole girl. Missed that sound. Just a stock saw with baffle pulled out of muffler. #Post#: 57685-------------------------------------------------- Re: partner 500 By: 660magnum Date: May 4, 2015, 5:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The three circles is HD Tri Link Chinese chain #Post#: 57686-------------------------------------------------- Re: partner 500 By: 660magnum Date: May 4, 2015, 5:35 pm --------------------------------------------------------- TSC sells it too #Post#: 57687-------------------------------------------------- Re: partner 500 By: Chainsawrepair Date: May 4, 2015, 5:38 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Going by this the chain B2 should be 058. But when I measured lower end of drive link I seen 050 on my calibers. Didnt see 058 till up closer to tie strap area. This could be part of his problem. I didnt measure the 1.3 050 bar groove though. Maybe wore just enough to be able to use 058 chain.
