Newbie ? on Chain

[firefighter33]

Hello all i have a newbie ? i quess. I just bought a olympyk 264F Deluxe from a AS member and want to buy some new chain loops from bailey's but no sure how to tell what size i need. It has a 20"GB bar. Im pritty sure it is 3/8 but not sure about the rest. Thanks for any help!
Id like to try some square ground chain just to see the differance.

Read the stamp on the base of the bar, you may have to take the bar off and clean it. It should say something like 3/8 72dl .050

If the bar doesn't tell you which it should you can use change to figure out what size it it. It was posted in baileys section. I think it was a dime for .050, a penny for .058, and a quarter for .063.

Square ground is good in clean wood. I run a lot of it myself.

I think 90% are running on .058 3/8 chain, and it will be an 84DL.

Yip, definately a an.058 but a 72DL 3/8
