This pretty much sums it up. Buying a new chain is not a problem. but solving this issue is just something to mess around with in down time. I exhausted my limited knowledge of what to try next, thats why I posted here as an attempt to learn.
I went to take pics, but upon sharpening it last time, it got mixed in with the the others, so now I have to go cut again to figure out which chain it is.. I had it separate from the others for so long and now that I could gain access to this site, its temporarily lost in the mix. I'll take pics when I find/try it next time..
Thanks for all the suggestions/information.
