Unusual Chain
Me and a mate were given a heap of Oregon chainsaw chain a while ago and were wondering a few things.
Now, it is a .404 chain but the drive links are .075 thick.
This is unusually thick isn't it?
Can we get bars to fit this chain or was it designed for mills etc?
There is heaps of good chain there, partly worn and some that are even brand new so if we can we'd like to use them. They will be used on a Stihl 066 and Stihl 084 if they'll fit.
Also, would a different sprocket be needed?
Thanks for any help.

That sounds like harvester chain, that's usually 0.080" thick.
"Can we get bars to fit this chain or was it designed for mills etc?
You will also find the rakers will be something like 0.050" which will stop both an 660 or 084 in their tracks. You will have to lose quite a bit of cutter to get the rakers more near a normal setting.
HArdly seems worth mucking around with.

Yeah... Those 8-cylinder Caterpillar "powerheads" have a bit more Oomph than your average Stihl...
Thanks
