    By the time you have someone remove a link you could buy a chain just about!! Last chains I bought were about $12 shipped.

    That top chain looks like vanguard chain. The bent rakers give it away. If that is the one cutting crooked check the rakers over carefully.

    Thanks Fifelaker.
    That's the original Husky chain....says so right on it. Maybe made by Vanguard?
    I have no idea.
    I've never messed with the rakers on it, just hand filed the cutters.
    It may be making a trip to visit Pete sometime soon. The 18" setup is cutting so well, I dunno'.

    It came on the saw.
    Is it a good candidate for the scrap heap?
    Bob could maybe make a knife out of it.
