1/2 inch chain

[Wolfcsm]

Does anyone have something that will tell me the link count for 1/2 inch chain? I am looking to set up a 48 inch bar on my 1130G.

Thanks,

Hal

Install your bar in the middle of it's adjustment range. Measure around the bar and drive sprocket.
Divide that measurement by 2x the chain's pitch to get the driver link count.
(divide the measurement by 1 for 1/2" pitch chain, .808 for .404 pitch, .75 for 3/8", .65 for .325, and .5 for 1/4").

Hal,

What brand of bar is it? As far as I know the larger bars Homelite made were 43". 50", and 60 ". A Homelite (43") GW43003 takes 100 links, (50") GW50003 takes 113 links, and (60") GW60003 takes 134 links. If you have a Oregon, Cannon, Windsor, or other brand then that will be a bit different.

Thanks Bill, I'll have to look at the brand.

Looked at it today. No markings at all on it.

52 5/8 heel to toe.
