Homelite 990G Restore- Big A$$ saw

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

@TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic can you show me this 1/2" chain next to some .375 chain and maybe some .325 or .404 for a size reference. I think i have some 1/2 or 7/16 chain that came on a old Clinton super 250 a few years ago. Does anyone know if there is a cheat sheet out that shows how to decode the numbering system on sone of this odd chain?

I'll get some reference photos for you when I go to work next week...got rolls of 3/8's, .325, and .404 for size references there. From what I know 7/16 is a tad larger than .404....barely noticeable I guess.

Got the chain made this morning. It did widen the eyes of some co workers haha They thought .404 was big until they saw this....literally twice the size. lol
Anyhow....haven't done a link count but I'm sure it's over 100. Still have a decent amount left on the roll as well. Probably enough to do a 32" bar. Almost! Just gotta paint the bar and helper handle and get it running. Going to order more 2k clear and git er done finally.
