help id'ing my chain

[Arbre]

Times are tough so selling a few bits and came across a decent condition chain but not sure which type it is and what it will fit. Pitch measures 18.64mm (3/4") between 3 pins - so 9.32mm - and gauge measures 1.6mm (0.063") and laid out it's length is 91cm (36") making it 182cm in total.

Many moons ago I used an MS660, an MS880 and I think an MS460 so not sure what size bar and saw it would fit?

Any help appreciated - and any idea of worth/value?

My guess is it's a 3/8 chain.

3/8 = .375" = 9.525mm

If it was a .3252 the measurement should be 8.255.

how many drive links?

Oh - and 196 links in total.

You need to count the drive links, the ones that run in the bar groove

Oh - and 196 links in total.

 

That would be 98 DRIVE LINKS, which is the standard DL count of a 3/8" pitch chain for a 30" bar (e.g. Stihl Rollamatic ES 30" for an MS 440/660 or similar).

 

The 1.6 mm drive link gauge is standard on Stihl saws.

 

MS 880 are usually fitted with .404" pitch chain/bar/sprocket

If you photograph a few chain links close up, and post it here, we might well be able to ID the brand and type of chain as well.

Thanks - will get camera out in morning and see if I can upload a pic or two.
