7/16" Chain Needed

[R Mac]

Hi folks, just been working on getting an old Danarm saw running, the saw is sorted but I need a length of 7/16" chain. Does anyone have a length of this or know anywhere that I might be able to get some. As long as there's some life left in it it would be fine, it'll only be needed to demo the saw.

 

Thanks.

If nobody has, I'm sure http://www.chainsawbars.co.uk will have some.

you might have some trouble finding some it's been out of production for 30yrs I needed a chain a few years back but in the end I used a 404 .080 harvester chain but you can get away with 404 .063 but if depends on the bar it realy has to be solid tip

What model saw is it :thumbup:

Hi Shavey, a DD8F mk111, I tried a .404 on it and thought that was what I needed but apparently the DD8F used a 7/16", I have a handbook for the later 110, 110 automatic and 125 mk11 automatic and they're supposed to run .404

 

With the .404/.063 (Oregon Type 59) the chain rides up on the sprocket, there's wear on the sprocket certainly but no worse on my Pioneer which has no problem with .404. A possible alternative route would be to try a sprocket off a Danarm 110/125, if that fits the DD8F then I can run a regular .404 Both saws have solid tip.

 

I'll assume to run .404 everything (Bar/Chain/Drive Sprocket) needs to be A1+ with no wear, I have a bit of wear on the sprocket bushing so will measure it up and see about getting a replacement made.

 

I have a potential source for some used chain and possibly a sprocket but it'll be start of next week before I'll know for sure.

There's a bloke on gumtree who is selling a saw and he says he has Danarm spares, you could try him. He sells spares for a few different makes of vintage saw by the sound of it.

I can't seem to find the ad but went down to my parents, had a bit of a rummage around and found this,

 

 

Not sure what the deal is as it has 2 right hand cutters but in any case it's a bit short

 

I also found a used drive sprocket/clutch drum for a Danarm, probably for a 110 or 125 and 0.404 pitch which I had thought might fit my saw, no chance as it isn't even close.

That's what's known as a full hop , skip, and jump chain

I've got two boxes of new old stock clutch drums if you put up a photo and sizes I might be able too help you out
