Where the stamp is

About this loop

Before you order, pull the bar and read the stamp. If it says .043", this is your chain; if it says .050", pick our 63PM3 50 loop instead. Both carry 50 drive links at 14 inches, which is exactly why they get mixed up. The MS170 and MS180C are familiar homeowner saws, used for firewood rounds, fence repairs and storm limbs, and the top-handles see a lot of pruning. We give them a semi-chisel chain with hardened rivets, chrome-plated cutters and German steel plates. KAKEI part 1B4Q50X, cross-referenced to 36100050050 and R50.

  • Fits the Stihl MS170, MS180C, MS193T and MS194T with a .043" gauge 14-inch bar and 50 drive links.
  • Cross-references Stihl 61PMM3 50 and 36100050050, plus the R50 code, so you can compare it with your old chain box.
  • Stihl bars in this size come in both .043" and .050", so confirm the gauge on your bar stamp first.
  • Semi-chisel teeth meeting ANSI B175.1-2012 low-kickback rules, well suited to light pruning and firewood work.
