Question on bar/chain for Homelite Classic 300

[NH_Wood]

Hi all,

Just picked up a Homelite classic 300 chainsaw for fun (for $8) - runs well, but throttle cable broke at carb linkage - fixing tomorrow with a linkage from a homelite junk saw. Having a hard time finding info on bar/chain for the saw - definitely don't want to spend $ - just goofing around. I have an old Homelite 12XL bar - could I use that? Can I use any bar that seems to fit well? Only info I could find on the web for the saw was for a 16" chain with a 0.325 pitch and 67 drive links. Thanks. Cheers!

Maybe find an Oregon dealer near you , might take it in & they
can hook you up with the right parts
