Purchasing Chainsaw Chain Online- Correct Sizing Issue

pprendeville

Looking to replace the chain on my Stihl MS231 affordably. The part number on the bar is 3005.000.7013

Is a 40cm / 16" bar.

62 links.

1.3mm

Also says .305" and 0.060" but not sure what these mean. Could anyone give me a link to something around the €20 mark for a replacement chain? Have bought a few chains but they were the wrong size.

Everything you need to interpret those figures, from the good people at Oregon:

Worth bearing in mind that a like-for-like replacement may not be what you really need - different chains do different things, e.g. see Oregon note on teeth sequence.

Hi @gossamerfabric

Wold you have a link to the stihl 16" 40cm .325 62TG 1,6mm?
