Got a RY40HPCW02K chainsaw. Hope to replace bar and chain with proper Oregon products. Anyone know the specs or Oregon part numbers for the replacements?

Sounds like a silly question, but hear me out.

A close friend, born, raised, and living in Hakodate, is getting into Golden Kamuy. It's impossible not to, there and now. The buses and streetcars are all festooned in Golden Kamuy livery, the Goryokaku matsuri was this weekend, and her American friend has been watching all the anime and studying the real-history characters. She got the first three volumes and is addicted, such that she thinks it will bankrupt her. Were she here, getting her a Crunchyroll subscription would be easy enough, but no Crunchyroll in Japan. So I'm trying to learn of a way I can give her the entire series. (Not interested in bankrupting myself, either.) Needs to be a legit source. Either anime or manga.

I suspect people here have some knowledge and/or experience in this sort of thing. I hope so.

Thanks.

I asked here about a malfunctioning 40-volt trimmer I got from some outfit via Amazon. I returned it and got a refund. Then I got the "whisper" brushless 40-volt attachment version from Home Depot. Problem, it seems, more than solved. I would have continued to stumble around but for the advice I got here.

This thing gots the gonads, as they say -- I have numerous attachments from gas trimmers. Among them is a good circular brush blade, like a table saw blade but with much less kerf. With a gas rrimmer and applied to autumn olive trunks gingerly it worked well though you could tell it was straining rhe engine. Applying the same tool with the same approach and powered by the Ryobi electric, there wasn't the slightest hint of strain. Where the trunk wanted to fight back, the motor didn't strain and nothing heated up except for the autumn olive itself, which gave off the same smell -- kind of sweet and pleasant, actually -- that you get when sawing pine you hit a knot. There's apparently a lot more power than there was from the gas trimmers.

Very glad, too, that the bladed head was included. The "grass" here is very hard on string, such that usual trimmers mostly distribute short lengths of plastic through the yard. The replacement heads, Grass Gator and such, are limited and the replacement blades are obscenely expensive, while the Ryobi ones are sharp, tough, and cost a buck apiece.

So . . . very happy with the result, which I was able to achieve only through the help and advice of the people here. Thanks!
