Looking for old done chains

[Stevie777]

Long shot but here goes. Anyone in the Wishaw Motherwell or surrounding area got a done, finished, Kaput 3/8 .50 gauge chain with at least 64 Drive links and a .325 .50 gauge with at least 70 Drive links. The reason I ask is. I have a Zenoah Komatsu G560 avs, I have just added a 16" GB Bar that is nearly 3/4" longer than an Oregon 16" bar and the spec size chains for the saw simply won't fit. Trouble is I don't know what length of chain I'll need.

 

The easiest way for me to find out is if a get a hold of an old chain. split it and match it up. I believe I would be close at 67-68 drive links for the .325 chain but I don't know how many drive links I would need on the 3/8 chain. could be 61-62 or whatever. I'm really only guessing here. The condition of the chains won't matter, Rusted, in three pieces, covered in human flesh whatever, just as long as I can use them to measure up the correct number of drive links i'll need.

 

I can come and collect them if the distance is not too far as I would probably be travelling by public transport.  or if you're so kind as to drop them in hang around and stick a brew on and chat while I measure up then you can have the chains back. Cant see the process taking me 30 minutes. 

 

I know I'm, a pain in the arse on here with my questions and requests at times but that's the price you all have to pay when I buy a saw/saws that appears to have been wiped from existence for some reason. ?  Not every saw has a specific chain to match when you mix and match Bars with older Saws. That I'm learning.

 

Anyway, Thanks for listening to me waffle.  

 

Ps, If someone has at least the 3/8 .50 gauge and would post it to me i'll pay for the postage.

I have a pretty much knackered .325 .050 chain at 72 drive links (i think), but i live in south West Wales so it might be a bit of a drive for ya! :-P

Hi Jamallio. I found a chainsaw service place about 14 miles from my house, I phoned him this morning and he said he's got every chain under the sun, We'll see. Thanks for your offer though. Appreciated.

That should have you sorted then! Good luck with getting yourself the right chains :-)

If you get stuck we can always do you a longer length with some joiners so you can just shorten it down to what then fits.

I was hoping to avoid that if I could Rob. But If that's the route I have to go down, so be it. I can get the chain online just not sure if it's gonna work out at 61-62-63 links on the 3/8 or 67-68 on the .325
