First Husky, 254, Need Advice

First Husky, 254, Need Advice

Hey y'all - I grabbed a used 254 Husqvarna. I have no previous experience with Husky. The saw was a good deal and looked to be in good shape.

The chain seems like it was never sharpened, just old and a bit dull - Oregon chain

The bar was in rough shape. Edges had a big lip, it was gummed up and dirty. I filed down the edges, cleaned everything up. Nose sprocket seems good and smooth.

Thing is, I don't know if this bar is proper for this saw. I'm also looking to run a 20 inch bar on this for bucking firewood - jack pine, birch, larch, poplar.

Do you know what a recommended bar and chain from husky would be, or do you prefer Oregon stuff?

Thanks.
