Jd. ? John Deere ? Looks like the stamp they use on roller chain

That’s what that gem came off of. Yes..

Wouldn’t doubt one bit that it would be fast if you squared it up.

Whoever owned it before me, discovered his flat file, and removed those pesky rakers..

Un-salvageable.

Yep. Does the cutters and rakers. And it’s fairly fast and consistent.

And can be used absolutely anywhere.

Throw them bastards in the trash.

I may have already posted these, but I just came across them and thought of this thread.

Dolmar 099 (Oregon 73LGX) 72DL 3/8" .058" worn past the witness mark.
The noodles were made by that loop.

Dolmar PS-7900 and another Dolmar 099 loop worn past the witness mark.


I really like these Dolmar 099 chains.
Non ever broke on me and they cut until all the teeth break off - which doesn't happen till worn waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past the witness mark!

Then they look like this.

Trying to mount those without removing the side cover?

Lots of meat left; looks like they just need a preset and tie strap. Also look like pretty aggressive 'hook' angles.
