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.
