Anyone have a picture of 3/8 or .325 pitch chain next to 3/4?? I can't seem to word it correctly for Google to understand 😂

If you want something on hand, you can order this Oregon chain scale sticker, it compares the different sizes and if you mount it to a bench, it helps making chains easier, especially if you put a peg in the table on the left side, connect your chain to it, drag it out and mark the driver you want to punch.

Edit: Sorry, this is the clearest picture I could find off hand. Goes in order from top 3/4, .404, 3/8, .325, 3/8LP, 1/4.

The 7/8" chain was ran on the Von Ruden direct PTO powered saw. There are several folks with the hydraulic powered VonRuden but i believe those take a smaller chain. The hydraulic ones used a PTO hydraulic pump, The direct PTO powered ones are driven by a PTO shaft. I have one but I have never had the testes to run it.

Curiously, the rivet diameter on the 7/8" chain appears no larger, maybe even smaller, than that of the much smaller chains.
Yes, it does look small, but I think it must have shouldered rivets, maybe even something carried over from roller chain. The hole in the drive link looks larger than the spun end of the rivet.
