    This pile of chains was left in a building I'm cleaning out. Does anyone know the maker by these logo's? I'll sort these by logo's and if someone needs them let me know.

    Might have been something from a tree or landscape firm? They typicaly will have a fair sized lot of chains particularly in the 16-20" bar range.

    China or not Sharpen them up and run them. Worth it with the cost of chains.

    Send em to square-file...I hear he needs practice sharpening chain.:rofl: :lol:

    I guess he thinks that filing them square makes em cut faster, I say it's black magic or some kind of voodoo.

    Seriously though, that's where I would send them. He'll know what to do wittum.

    Yea if they have tooth left run them. I only scrap chains when there seized up from rust or there is no tooth left to sharpen.

    Hope you got a grinder. Grinder will pay for itself in one day getting those all even upped and ready to go.

    If perhaps you don't have a grinder, I would be willing to touch up a small flat rate box worth of them for ya as long as you aren't in a huge hurry.
