I have a Homelite 45cc Timberman . The original chain is labeled Oregon 33. I cannot seem to find this exact same chain. What new chain can I order?

Found this after a little googling. Big thing is make sure it’s a low profile (LP) chain, not just a standard .325

To get that obselete chain search for 33sl or 33lg. it has shorter cutters and the depth gauge isn't as far out front as the 20 series Oregon of today. 20 lpx 20 lgx 20bpx M20bpx
For a 45cc saw with 0.050 gauge bar I will suggest the new Stihl 23rspro 3690 series. or Husky or Oregon newest .325NK offerings. For those log fire cuts maybe you want a wider kerf?





Would this chain fit and work well for my needs?
Yes they (Oregon) now like to make names as well as numbering systems for their product likes like chain. Your picture doesn't give the letter and number code.
 
Thanks for the help. I will have to keep looking on Amazon unfortunately in my area it's about my option to get a chain with in the next few days
 
I found the Trilink chain on Amazon, any good? Is this the letter and number code mentioned above for the oregon . Will this one work?

You guys are mixing apples and mangoes here, along with some bananas. Although, Oregon does make a .325 ‘Low Profile’ chain (‘Nano’ chain), the ‘LP’ in their chain designs does not stand for ‘Low Profile’.

The H78 chain is Type 95, .325 Narrow Kerf chain, which requires a thinner guide bar.

I am pretty sure that the OP got the right chain, as long as he wants a ‘Pro’ chain. Might be grabby doing those end cuts for Swedish candles (really a rip cut). So attack those cuts at an angle.

No confusion here ... I think. OP had 33LG low profile chisel chain which is no longer made. 20LP/LPX is standard profile chisel chain and the closest replacement in the Oregon family. According to Oregon the H chain is BPX, not 95: https://www.oregonproducts.com/en_ca/findingtherightsawchainforyou#topic13
 
Yes I did want a "Pro" chain. I run a full chisel chain on a Jonsered 670 and a Poulan 3700 both on a 20" bar. Mostly for cutting fire wood but I really like the way they cut and feel
