If this is in our Resources section, pleas direct me, but otherwise, maybe this question is useful. I read the long description of my Oregon chain box, and found when I search online to buy another one, there is a “g” at the end of what is available. Does the chain number tell a knowledgeable person about the chain? I know a vehicle VIN tells you a lot about the car. so here goes. 72EXL084. If a tutorial is in the making; ( In Southern accent ) “you may proceed, sir”.
If your not against china chain hipa chain is less than 6.00 a loop shipped for full chisel right now I bought 14 it cuts good.
72 denotes the pitch and gauge (is a code for the manufacturer) and EXL is the type of their chain and 84 is how many drive links which determines length of chain.
Gauge and Pitch to Chain Number: Once you have this information use the chart below to identify your chain type and follow the link to the chain page.
