P.S.:
We need pictures of that chain, sounds like an interesting chain type.

mirage · Jan 5, 2020

I can do that. If we need a better picture just let me know. The gray part of the chain is whats missing.

Wilhelm · Jan 5, 2020

That looks really clean and the breakage area looks fresh.
Are You using the chain actively on a saw?
If so, how does it cut?

Good luck finding a link!

Not using it at this time . I hope to get the saw to run this week. I put the chain in a ultrasonic cleaner .I clean all kinds of stuff in it.

I do not know of any ready parts source, but the Trading Post might be a good place to ask.

I have never worked with scratcher chain, so I don't even know what the rivets look like. But that might be a part that someone could make from a piece of flat stock.

Things were simpler back then.

Thank you for the reply. I bet I could make one now that you put the idea in my little brain .

What’s the pitch & gauge?

I have a supply of 7/16” and 9/16” tie straps, drivers and assorted rivets . Remington and Mall.

Let me know if you still need chain parts. I've got a friend in Pennsylvania that made an amazing score on NOS Disston parts a few weeks ago.
9/16" chain?

Thanks guys . I will measure it tomorrow. The 9/16 is the space between the two rivets right?

Wilhelm · Jan 6, 2020

Chainsaw chain pitch is the space between three rivets divided by two.
