Title: .354 chain on PP380 Super
Post by: farmboy on September 12, 2019, 10:43:18 pm
I've got a bunch of .354 3/8"x.050"x73dl chain.  Decided to try it on my PP380 Super.  380 has an Oregon 2050 hard nose bar on it.  Swapped the rim and strung a loop on it.  Chain is WAY too long.  Tried a Homelite UHL 20" hard nose, chain is still too long.  What??  Counted links on the chain I had on the Oregon bar stamped 2050.  68dl. Don't have any other K095 hard nose bars so I converted it back to 3/8".   Maybe another day I'll try to use 30 loops of .354.

Do you have one of those old chain charts with .354 chain? I wonder what they come out to be side by side.

Should be on the McCulloch chain chart I got from you a while back.  Haven't opened pkg. yet.  Can lay 3/8" 72 dl side by side for comparison.  First time I've been on in days Montezumas revenge had a hold of me for 5 days.

3/8" X 72DL is the same length as .354 x 73dl.
