High-Quality 16-Inch Chainsaw Chain for Stihl 26RS 67/26RS67 – Reliable Replacement for Efficient Cutting

Fitment overview

This 16-inch replacement chainsaw chain is made for setups that use the Stihl 26RS 67 / 26RS67 specification. It matches a 16-inch bar with a .325″ pitch, .063 gauge, and 67 drive links, making it a direct replacement option for the listed Stihl chain part numbers.

If your current chain matches those measurements, this chain is a suitable replacement for the original Stihl 26RS 67 / 26RS67 chain. It is supplied as one durable 16-inch full chisel saw chain.

Will this chain fit your saw?

The most important thing to understand is that chainsaw chain fitment is based on the bar and chain specifications, not just the brand name of the saw. To confirm fit, check all four of these details:

• Bar length: 16-inch
• Chain pitch: .325″
• Chain gauge: .063
• Drive-link count: 67

If all four match your current setup, this chain should fit.

This chain is designed to replace these Stihl part numbers:

• Stihl 26RS 67
• Stihl 26RS67
• 3639-005-0067
• 3639 005 0067
• 36390050067

A quick way to verify is to inspect the markings on your current chain packaging, owner’s manual, or the bar itself. Many guide bars list the required pitch, gauge, and drive-link count. If even one of those numbers is different, you should not assume this chain will fit.

Important compatibility note:

• This chain is not compatible with Stihl MS170
• This chain is not compatible with Stihl MS180

Those saws commonly use different chain/bar combinations, so even if the bar looks similar in length, the pitch, gauge, or drive-link count may not match.

Replacing the chain

Before installing any new chain, make sure the saw is fully powered off and cannot start accidentally.

1. Turn off the saw and let it cool completely. Disconnect the spark plug lead if applicable for added safety.
2. Remove the side cover and take off the old chain from the guide bar and drive sprocket.
3. Clean the bar groove, side cover area, and sprocket area so the new chain can seat properly.
4. Install the new chain around the sprocket and along the 16-inch bar, making sure the cutting teeth face the correct direction on the top side of the bar.
5. Reinstall the side cover, then adjust chain tension so the chain sits snugly on the bar but still moves freely by hand.
6. After tightening the bar nuts, recheck tension again. A new chain can stretch slightly during initial use, so inspect and retension after the first few cuts.

If you are unsure about correct chain direction or tension, consult your saw manual before operating.

Keeping it sharp

A full chisel chain is designed for efficient cutting, but it performs best when kept sharp and properly tensioned.

• Touch up the cutters regularly instead of waiting until the chain becomes very dull. A sharp chain cuts faster and puts less strain on the saw.
• Keep the chain out of dirt and avoid contact with rocks, fencing, or the ground, since those will dull cutting edges quickly.
• Check chain tension often, especially with a newly installed chain. A chain that is too loose or too tight will wear faster and cut poorly.

Also remember to maintain proper chain lubrication. A well-oiled chain helps reduce heat, friction, and premature wear.

FAQ

Is this chain only for Stihl-branded saws?
