Yutacorex 18" Chainsaw Guide Bar and .325" LP Chain — 68 Links, .063" Gauge for Stihl MS230 MS241C-M MS250 MS251

Yutacorex 18-inch replacement guide bar and low-profile .325" pitch chain (68 drive links, .063" gauge) engineered to fit popular Stihl models for reliable cutting performance.

If you need a direct, drop-in replacement for worn or damaged cutting components on a matching saw, this Yutacorex kit pairs an 18" guide bar with a 68-link, .325" LP pitch chain built to match OEM fitment for many Stihl and compatible saws. The set is sized to work with specific Stihl MS230, MS241C-M, MS250 and MS251 variants, and aligns with common aftermarket part numbers from Oregon and Husqvarna for straightforward installation. It’s intended for homeowners and pros requiring predictable cutting behavior and easy part swapping.

Will this chain and bar fit my Stihl MS250 or MS230?

Check three measurements on your current setup: pitch, gauge and drive link count. If your saw uses .325" LP pitch, .063" gauge and 68 drive links, this bar and chain will match the factory specifications for the listed Stihl models and many compatible aftermarket guides.

• Pitch: .325" LP (low profile)
• Gauge: .063" (thickness of the drive links)
• Drive links: 68 (fits the saw’s sprocket and bar slot)
• Cross-reference with part numbers such as Oregon 183PXLBA074 or Stihl 3005 000 4717

How does the Yutacorex replacement affect cutting control and safety?

This low-profile chain is designed to reduce vibration and minimize kickback compared with many full-profile chains, helping you keep better control during everyday cutting tasks. Properly matched to an 18" bar, it offers a balanced cutting length that’s manageable for pruning, firewood and property maintenance.

• Low-profile cutters reduce aggressive bite for safer handling
• Lower vibration helps reduce operator fatigue on longer jobs
• Balanced 18" length for common homeowner and landscaping tasks

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation is the same basic process as replacing any guide bar and chain: remove the side cover, loosen the tensioner, seat the bar and chain, and set correct tension. Routine maintenance—sharpening the cutters, keeping proper tension, and maintaining lubrication—will keep the kit performing reliably.

• Use proper bar/chain tension to avoid derailment or excessive wear
• File or use a small grinder to maintain cutter sharpness
• Keep the bar groove clean and sprocket tip lubricated
• Confirm chain oiling system is functioning before each use

Which other saw brands and part numbers are compatible?

Besides specific Stihl models, this chain and bar match several common aftermarket and OEM references, making it versatile for users who cross-reference parts. Always confirm the three key measurements and part numbers before purchasing.

• Compatible with Oregon reference 183PXLBA074 (check fitments)
• Fits Husqvarna equivalents such as 501 84 17-68 and H26 68
• Interchanges with Stihl part references like 3005 000 4717 and chains like 26RM3 68 when measurements align

Who this is for: Choose this Yutacorex 18" guide bar and 68-link, .325" LP chain if you own a compatible Stihl MS230, MS241C-M, MS250 or MS251 series saw (or a model with matching pitch, gauge and link count) and want a cost-effective replacement that restores cutting ability with lower vibration and reduced kickback compared to full-profile chains. It’s a practical option for homeowners, small-property managers, and landscapers who perform pruning, limb removal and firewood cutting and who perform basic chain maintenance themselves.
